It was ok. I heard a lot of comments how wonderful it was. Maybe I had high expectations. It was nice but not for the price. Stayed at nicer accommodations. Probably won’t be back unless they had a discount.

Our room was nice but the sofa bed was VERY uncomfortable and pillows were lumpy. I would only get a room with a regular bed in the future. It was nice to have a well equipped kitchen and a dining room table. Bathroom was small but towels were good quality. Overall a nice stay.

I have stayed a Blue Fin before and it was better. We should have been told about the many stairs for our unit which was very crowded and had not a chair.

Beautiful stay at the Bluefin Bay

The room was clean and comfortable. Had all the amenities we needed. We ended up needing to bring our dogs and they were able to accommodate us with a pet friendly room. Our dogs were very happy here as well! We enjoyed the bluefin grille and the coho cafe. The outdoor hot tub was a treat to enjoy with a beautiful view of Lake Superior. We would stay here again.

Our room was located within walking distance of both restaurants. Our waiter at the main one was great, very personable and efficient. We were only there 1 night but want to go back again for a long weekend. Definitely recommend the Bluefin Bay!

The service at the Grill was utterly chaotic, with items delivered out of order or not at all until servers (there were several, and it was never clear whether anyone was in charge) were reminded. The food at the Grill was unremarkable at best. Service, food, and prices were much better at the bakery.
