Clean room close to town. I have never stayed at a hotel that didn’t have any on premise staff. Had a little trouble getting the key from the lock box but otherwise stay went well.
No frills but was safe and clean. I felt the price was a bit high for the amenities provided compared to other places, but I also realize tourism is big here and it is tourist season.
Lock box difficult to use. Torn screen door. Sidewalk outside room covered in seagull droppings. Ceiling fan had no blades. Thin blankets. No ice machine or on site office. Dreary feel.
Great view of Lake Superior and the rooms have been recently renovated with new flooring, toilets, fixtures, and luxury linens. Perfect place to walk to restaurants and along the coast. The self check-in went flawlessly. I recommend this motel.

Great location. Property was older, but clean. Reasonable but not high end.
We really liked the interior decor and cleanliness. We liked the ease of self check-in We liked the convenient location. The exterior of the building needed paint, the door screen to our unit was broken, and the exterior parking area as a little rough.
Our room was newly renovated, very clean and lovely. The outside appearance of the hotel needs some TLC. Loved the location and the view of the marina. Good dining area.
The internet was hopeless. Very slow and kept kicking me off

Beautiful location, but maintenance issue
Clean, but light over sink did not work and only one plug in by sink, and so fixing hair and makeup was difficult due to lack of light. Plugged floor lamp in by it, but then had no place to plug in curling iron so alternated heating it, then unplugged it to plug in light to curl more curls, and repeated

Liked: Cleanliness
It seems the property is being renovated. The appearance of the building was pretty sketchy from the outside but the room was fairly nice and updated when we got inside. Room was clean and decent. I was pleasantly surprised after my initial impression.
As it is self check in, we did not interact with any staff.
The shower head had no pressure. The shower drain cover was missing. The suite sofa was dirty and stained. No ice machines. Nasty parking lot and walkways!
