Not the best

Place was older, but bed was comfortable and place was clean. There was an odor by the door, not sure if place is on a slab, as maybe have been a dead animal. That was the worst of it.

Carla was super nice and accommodating of our delayed check in, and even provided a map of local foods with recommendations! The room was super clean, comfortable, and had an amazing view of Lake Superior right outside our door. 10/10 would stay again.
Sunset right outside our room
Lake Superior is right across the street, with plenty of lawn chairs to view from, and a bonfire pit too!

Beautiful scenery around the hotel, but not much else within walking distance. Carla was very friendly and helpful in finding local restaurants. The room was ok with a 1980's hotel feel. The only significant downside was that that internet and wifi transmitters were terrible, it would only stay connected for about 3 minutes before kicking me off ,and during that time the Internet speed was equivalent to dial up, making it unusable.

Old Timey Roadside Charmer!

What a great little motel! If you've ever felt the tug of nostalgia about staying at a true mom & pop roadside motel like the ones that we used to have in the US, this is the place to stay at! It was like stepping back into the 1970s....except for the flat screen TV....the old wrought-iron bed....the wooden nightstands...dinette table with wooden chairs....this is what I remember hotels along route 66 being like back in the day! Just a few miles from town, and directly across the street from the bay (do NOT MISS sunrise! It was glorious!) this was the perfect way to be secluded in comfort on our road trip tour of the UP. Clean, super reasonable price, quiet, easy to get to....not a single negative to report. Coffee maker, big refrigerator, microwave, all the needs met. Lots of hot water too! This little GEM of a motel is now on my permanent list of where to stay when we are back in the UP! The nightstand even had a PHONE BOOK...talk about a blast from the past! They even provided a box fan for white noise sleeping like a rock! The air conditioner blew cold too. Screen door on entrance so you can sleep with the main door open if you wanted to. Hats off to the owners! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Overpriced for what you get.

When I rate these hotels I always consider the value proposition. In other words does it fit the cost I pay. This room cost more than I typically pay for a 4 star hotel and yet the list of what was classified as a dump is pretty long. For starters the room was sagging towards the woods. That’s right. Not level. So slanted the bathroom door would not stay open. Lawn and weeds growing up everywhere. The outdoor office filled with junk. No electrical outlet in the bathroom. Light switches in odd places. Room furniture coming apart. This was a “dump” to say the least and I could look past some of this if the rate was affordable. But rooms in this area go for $400+ a night so $166 which is what we paid I guess is the bottom end. Just be prepared to sleep at a slant / angle.

Nice view of Lake Superior. The room is very outdated. The floor is not level, extension cords all over and needs a complete remodel. The outside of the property needs some serious repair in more than one area. The ladder someone complained about months ago is still there. A carpenter needs to be hired to finish repairs. Overall we would not stay there again. If we had our car instead of a motorcycle, we would have slept in the car.
