We liked that it was a block off Lake Superior. Even though it was old,, we didn’t mind that. But the carpet was dirty and torn, only HOT water n the shower, the bed was hard but the bedding was clean!!!!

Don't believe ANY good reviews---it's bad.

Would rate 0 of 10 stars. Outdated, broken down, not clean. I'm fine with an older place or a 2 star facility if it's clean. The mismatched towels might have been laundered but they definately were stained. Water from tap in the room was literally brown. Air conditioner was so dirty we opted not to turn it on--luckily we had a small fan of our own we used. The sheets were clean and no bed bugs plus we had pre-paid, so we stayed. This was the worse hotel/motel we have ever stayed at.

Deceptive advertising. Very dirty, non potable water , just mud & dirt as you walk in room. Shower so small you can barely fit in. Mattress old and horrible, dirty flat, old pillows. Chair in room was so dirty ! Lot's of better places to stay for similair pricing.

You get what you pay for. Bathroom was tiny & no hairdryer. Fortunately we only needed it for the night. It was clean & the bed was comfy.

I typically like the cheaper hotels and you get what you pay for. The hotel was fine, but they charge a $30 property fee which is steep. The television didn’t work even with the added HDMI cable. Not that big of deal since I can and should avoid tv on vacation! I thought the toilet was not cleaned, but it ended up just being the water. The water was yellow. I compared it to a bottle of water I got from the faucet at the previous hotel where I stayed. The hot water from the sink ran dark brown rusty for a bit and then bs keto the yellow. Needless to say, I didn’t drink the water from this hotel. Quiet and peaceful area otherwise. Hotel was clean and AC worked well.

A great economical choice for a night or two

We were fairly happy. The only down side was the walls are so thin you can hear the neighbors conversation and the TVs we laughably tiny. Beyond that it was clean and everything worked. The staff in the store was outstanding...every one of them. We stayed 2 night and would not hesitate to stay again. The minor inconveniences are more than a fair trade off for the price.
