The view was great!,it does need some touching up , the sleeper sofa needs fixed or replaced. But it was quite, close to what we were doing.

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.

The room was spacious and clean. Furniture is outdated, but sturdy. The beds were comfortable. The owner is so pleasant and helpful with recommendations. It was a perfect stop for an overnight visit to the area and you can't beat the view!

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.

Great location. Nice bay views and sunsets. Great chairs outdoors and seating areas on grass by the water. But the room are well past their prime with outdated furniture and style. A thorough fix up, caulking, and paint job would do wonders as a start. Screen door kept falling out of the track. Funky odors at times. Updated fixtures would be a bonus and make the experience more worthwhile as well as justify the cost. Bed was okay at best. Breakfast - marginal. Really - property has lots of potential but has lost its shine ...
