The room had stains on the floor, the bedding was so outdated. My cousin dropped something behind the night stand and it was so dirty, I mean dirty like 20 years of dust/dirt. The window ceil was dirty. Bathroom was immaculate. The breakfast was good.

Disliked: Amenities
When we arrived we initially had a room without lake view…We were moved to second floor room with lake view (215). The inside lock system was broken. Looked as if someone had tried to break into room! We later discovered that the heat did not work in room. The thermostat was broken and hanging on wall. The front desk employee showed us another room and the heat did not work in that room either! She said that the heating system had been an ongoing problem. We went back to room 215 and were given two extra blankets and a small space heater! Overall not a good experience!

I was in a room with lake view. Gorgeous view it is. The hotel is older and heat does not seem to work. My room was equipped with a portable heater. The staff person was very religious and did not appreciate ghost jokes but overall, they were friendly and provided good service. The breakfast is nice, cereal and toast, yogurt, juices coffee. one can sit by the window and see lake view.

I love the location and I like to support businesses in northern Minnesota. The room had a lot of beds which was wonderful, two full beds and two single beds. There was water damage in the ceiling, which I think has mold, stains on the carpet and the pop machine was leaking water into the hallway. The staff was very kind and the location is Wonderful. It’s on Lake Superior, in town, walking distance, to restaurants. Our window wouldn’t close fully so it was open a quarter and we had 50 mile an hour ones our final night felt like the gales of December blowing us out to see lol
