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.

Cleanliness is the most important thing to me and it was definitely very clean. However, the property needs a lot of work and it is seriously outdated. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and I know they try hard to keep everything up

Motel is a little dated but clean and comfortable. The biggest win for this property was that every room had access to a back balcony with amazing lake views. In addition, there is a large well manicured back lawn with a variety of lawn furniture to lounge in. We took advantage of this a couple of nights to enjoy spectacular sunsets.
