The hotel offers a beautiful view of Lake Superior and convenient proximity to the exit and ice machine, but there was a noticeable smell of smoke in the room. The friendly service from the hotel manager, Mike, who even opened the waterslide for an extended hour so my children could have a great time, made our stay memorable. However, the hotel's bathroom facilities were not open frequently.
