Clean, Friendly Staff, Amazing Location...

Liked: Lovely location right on the shore of Lake Superior. I enjoyed sitting on the sand beach each morning and evening. This is not a "sunbathing" beach, rather a beach to enjoy the view and listen to the waves. The hotel has benches, picnic tables, and even a large porch type swing, all right in the sand about 20 feet from the water's edge.ROOM: Check in and check out were quick and simple. My room was the same as the photos here on Booking.com and it was very clean. I am not fond of carpeting in my hotel rooms, yet it was in good condition and no obvious stains or damage and no strange odors! The bathroom was super clean and plenty of towels were available. Note there is a sign by the bathtub informing you to be careful exiting the tub (along with a safety grab bar) - pay attention to that sign. FOOD: There is self-serve coffee, tea, hot cocoa in the reception area all day and night. Breakfast was good, general "hotel" breakfast with cold/hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, cold cereal (3 types), instant oatmeal packets, packaged muffins, hot sausage links and scrambled eggs. Also a variety of breads, coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and juice. Finally make-it-yourself waffles with syrup and/or various jellies/jams.STAFF: All staff I interacted with were positive and always helpful. The breakfast attendant was present in the room all morning cleaning, refilling items, and chatting with guests. This person even walked around with the coffee pot offering to refill your cup!!
Disliked: Older hotel - the rooms have thinner walls so if you have a loud neighbor you may hear them. I didn't have any issues with sound, but it is certainly something to know. Absolutely understandable due to the dates of construction.
