"Good"

The Inn on Lake Superior

10/10 Excellent

"We were pleased overall. The room was nice and good size. We had a king lakeview with sofa and balcony. The balcony had 2 good chairs and an odd table that we finally figured out how to use. Great view of the ship canal and Lakewalk. Bed was comfortable, shower was nice - separate instead of being in a tub. The staff was helpful and we enjoyed the warm rooftop soaking pool. We didn’t use the indoor pool. We also thought the nightly s’mores and fire pit were pretty fun. Great location. The breakfast was marginally ok. It needed refills and supervision. We enjoyed our stay would choose the Inn on Lake Superior again."

South Pier Inn

8/10 Good
