The room was hot and window AC was okay. Unsafe and uneven floor. Pretty view. It is "1960's" motel style.

Beautiful scenery around the hotel, but not much else within walking distance. Carla was very friendly and helpful in finding local restaurants. The room was ok with a 1980's hotel feel. The only significant downside was that that internet and wifi transmitters were terrible, it would only stay connected for about 3 minutes before kicking me off ,and during that time the Internet speed was equivalent to dial up, making it unusable.

A very tourist-friendly motel – we booked the place online, and an envelope with our name was pinned to the information board, with the room key inside :) In the morning, a breathtaking sunrise. We saw it through the window, but… we stepped outside and were left speechless. The photo was taken right outside the door.

The rooms were very small, strps coming out of the room, leading to the parked cars could be dangerous.

Property lacks general maintenance. I read there was a fire a couple years ago and it's clear the owners haven't done anything to get it back in shape.

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 The room is very outdated.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.

I liked the convenience of location,,I had two kids to pickup and move on.
If you have dogs this is a great place to hang out,,
If you are a non dog owner you will not like it,
Reasonable price for short lay over

Fantastic deal with a beautiful view.
Every day one of the owners checked with us and offered their direct cell phone numbers in case of any concerns.
I have serious bad issues and we slept very comfortably in the queen bed. No frills but a fantastic value. We definitely will go again. Beautiful view on Lake Superior.
