Outside of property was dated bad shape needs a ton of work parking lot was a war zone of potholes, fire pit was on top of the road facing the street rather than the view. Breakfast was a joke some homemade goods in ziplock bags worst continental breakfast I’ve ever had. Overall this was not a 350.00 a night hotel I will never stay again staff very dull and not very inviting and way over priced definitely check out the hikers just down the street everyone had good things to stay, south pier was below average and price was way to high for this place.

The bed was amazing, so very comfortable. The view of the lift bridge was spectacular. The road conditions around the property leading out were pretty sketchy, in the dark it felt like you were going to drive right into Lake Superior, fortunately/hopefully this is a work in progress

The stay was very nice. The front desk staff was very nice. The continental breakfast was very nice. There are a flag of Finland and a flag of Poland hanging outside. I was told that the owners are from those countries. Very cool.
