This hotel always has a great ambience and is located in a terrific spot right in Canal Park. There are several amenities, including breakfast and materials for roasting marshmallows in the evening. It was a busy weekend and staff couldn’t keep up with the water jug. It seemed to be empty every time I went to it. Overall, this is a great place to stay!

Great hotel on Canal Park. Stayed here due to location and am happy with the decision. Staff was friendly. We were here on December when there was a hockey tournament near by, that was the only issue. The boys running up and down the halls and banging on doors. Would request a lake view and not pool side next time.

We always look forward to sraying at the Inn on Lake Superior when we visit the North Shore. We love sitting on the balcony and enjoying the view of the Lake and the ships, The smores each evening are a special treat.
