Nancy

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Old, slanted floor, old chairs with no support from the 1950’s. Rooms were extremely small. Bathroom window was chained open for ventilation in the bathtub/shower. No electric plugs in bathroom. Extremely small mirror in bathroom. Not at all worthy of the $170 charge.

Nice quiet hotel

I do not usually leave reviews but we stayed here last year and it was a nice place to stay so when we got the chance to go to Keweenaw area again I booked it for this year. It is a older hotel as you can see in the pictures but Carla is super nice and helpful. It is a family business and you can contact Carla if you need anything. The rooms are clean and nice inside and has everything you need. It is a nice quiet pretty setting with the water right across the road. I would definitely recommend staying there, we will when we are in the area again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Nice view of Lake Superior. The room is very outdated. The floor is not level, extension cords all over and needs a complete remodel. The outside of the property needs some serious repair in more than one area. The ladder someone complained about months ago is still there. A carpenter needs to be hired to finish repairs. Overall we would not stay there again. If we had our car instead of a motorcycle, we would have slept in the car.

Great little spot in Baraga

It's a small motor lodge and feels like a small motor lodge, but it's comfortable, has a great view, and is a worthwhile stop for weary travelers.
