We always enjoy our stay at the Inn on Lake Superior. We had a king bed with sofa sleeper room on the lakeside and really liked it. We love the fact that every room has a patio with chairs where we can sit and enjoy looking at the lake and see the ships arriving and departing. We also really enjoy the breakfast in the morning and the smores at night.

The cleanliness was absolutely awful. The stained sheets and linens to the oiled handprints left on the headboard. Not appropriate given the cost!

The hot tub was always either shut down or it was filled with unattended children. While our room did have a balcony, it did not look at all like the photos. The bed was on the other side of the bathroom so there were no lake views from the bed. We never received any housekeeping of any kind. The rooms were very outdated. For the price, I expected more.

The property is unfortunately run down. Very outdated, black mold in the bathroom… very dirty grout in the shower… bugs in the shower… dirty coffee mugs. Huge breakfast area, with very very limited options of food. Honestly for the price that I paid, over $500… I was expecting a lot more… paid less in Puerto Rico for a Marriott resort. I guess last time I stay here.

Great patio rooms with a beautiful view of the walk. The hotel is perfectly located on the boardwalk perfect for evening strolls and if you’re lucky a local musician plays seas shanties. The rooftop pool was an added bonus!

I thought that the hotel is just not what it used to be. The rooms seem a bit rundown and not even sure what they are doing with breakfast. The staff was nice about checking in was a bit busy but staff was very friendly. The biggest complaint is that the hotel is just not very nice anymore and the breakfast was very lousy.

Disappointed with everything except the view/local
We have stayed here before and this place has gone down hill in quality and increased dramatically in price. Yep, nice view but beyond that it was terrible: Bed, about as uncomfortable as you can find. More like Motel 6 quality. Shower/Water, pressure was so bad it took me half hour to rinse off soap. Shower head was ridiculous. Breakfast Saturday. Meager. 2 very plain hot options and just about everything was out and not replenished when we ate at 8am. We waited but it never really was replenished. Quality of food was terrible. Breakfast Sunday. Same issues, except now EVERYTHING was OUT THE WHOLE TIME! No eggs, no meat, no fruit, no donuts, no waffle mix, juice was out, the only thing plentiful was cereal. Place looks run down. Patio furniture was nice but the area was dirty. Provided with a sheet and 1 blanket for the bed. Lots of pillows but small flat ones. Staff seemed nice but at this price point I should get more than just a nice view of the lake. Very disappointing. I know a lot of the increase cost was the spike due to covid/post covid and EVERYONE is charging more but more often then not, quality also has gone up. Not here. The only thing that went up was the price.
