The hotel was exceptionally clean, very quiet, and relaxing. We have stayed at the Blue Wave in the past and absolutely love waking up to the beautiful scenery and lake. Our stay was cut short but will definitely stay again.

This is a very nice place, located right on lake Superior. Food is great, service is great, very friendly. Only drawback is a slow elevator. Since most places don't have one in the areas, I didn't care. Worth staying at for sure.
