We stay here a few times a year. Nice staff and near the lake. There few amenities but it’s clean & comfortable. We prefer the second floor for more quiet.

The room and hotel is dated and needs some updates. Room is small, beds too high and very uncomfortable. Not worth the price.

Handicap
We requested a handicap room wich we got on the second floor but there was no elevator and the clerk would not switch our room to the first floor. Not sure how someone who is in wheelchair and could not walk would het to the room. Luckily mu mother could get up the stairs

Large rooms
A little dated, but the rooms were large and clean. No recycle bins. No breakfast available on the property; just coffee only. No microwave in the rooms; just a small one in the hotel lobby. Scenic views of the lake and marina. Appeared to be the nicest hotel in Washburn.

Everything was in very good shape, neat and clean. Our only issue was the pillows. All had lumps in them, except the one that was flat. But i dont sleep well, so maybe others wouldnt notice.
All in all a great place.

The bathroom had mold in the shower and ceiling and the sheets were strongly perfumed which caused a problem with my allergies. The fridge was full of water and the key card worked maybe evwry other attempt. We were awoken by a crew resurfacing the parking lot at 8am outside our window with no notice prior to booking.

Just so-so
It was not so good. Room was adequate. Difficulty getting heat to work. Stairs up to room were not the safest. Clock on wall didn't work. Clock in bedroom went out every time you used the light switch to turn on/off light. Hotel facing wrong direction. No view of Lake Superior. Very disappointed in that. Coffee in a.m. was good but you need to have a breakfast service. Harbor Table except Bloody Mary was nice. Bloody Mary was awful. Walk along jetty was nice.
