This no-frills motel has incredible views and is well located. We loved the row Adirondack chairs facing the lake and the sweet chairs outside our room. The management knows what the main selling point of the Sunset is. The breakfast was decent: we took our yogurts and danishes and went on a great hike. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Old fashioned yes, clean yes, fancy no but just a nice quaint relaxing quiet place. Chairs outside along the walls of Lake Superior. Actually had a clear view of the Northern lights that night we stayed.

Basic motel needs were met. It’s dated but you can’t beat the property being right on the bay. Sit and enjoy the views.

It was a beautiful area and for the price of the room, the rooms could be updated. Electrical outlets were loose and door was tough. To open. Just felt old and dated.

Not the fault of the Motel, it we booked it for its location. However, the road was closed meaning we had to drive 15 minutes around the town to get 1/2 mile away. Air conditioner too small for the room and it never cooled down. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful!

Cleanliness is the most important thing to me and it was definitely very clean. However, the property needs a lot of work and it is seriously outdated. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and I know they try hard to keep everything up

Invest some money into improving the rooms. The bed I slept in leaned to the side, and the couch bed had such a dent n the mattress that it was more comfortable to just sleep on the couch.

Liked: Cleanliness
Positives: 1) Friendly Staff 2) Clean 3) Nice view of the bay 4) Good price for the location. Negatives: 1) The intermittent sound of flushing water coming from the floor vents woke us up repeatedly throughout the night. 2) The room was stuffy as the air conditioning unit struggled to compensate for the uncontrollable heat that was blowing out of the floor vents in July. 3) My husband and I suffered from back pain for days due to the hard bed. 4) Loud neighbors woke us up in the middle of the night and early morning. This property has potential, but I would not book here again due to the poor sleep quality.
