This was a very unique place to stay. I didn’t realize it was contactless and everything for information was sent to me. I contacted the number if any issues not knowing what to do and they called me within 10min. I know I might be old fashion and prefer a check in person but I managed. It was actually a lil creepy at first because the store and lil coffee shop wasn’t open yet you could go in building and there wasn’t a car at place at all. The elevators are very slow but they did work. It’s actually at a nice convenient spot to stay. We didn’t use the chairs outside with fire pit because we were clueless since no one there on what we could’ve done. The room was fixed up nice and bed was comfy. I was bummed ice machine didn’t work and I didn’t want to go to town for ice.

Our room was perfect & the bathroom was so beautiful. However, the traffic noise was very loud. The windows did not offer much of an opportunity to view anything. Otherwise it was great. I tried to find out about the history of the building but nothing.

Very nice room, comfortable bed. Did not care for the slow elevator which you had to take to the 3rd floor where all the rooms were located. Nice chairs outside where you could sit and view the beautiful bay. Great walk in shower with your choice of two different shower heads.

A nice change from chain motels. Our room (#5) was quite large with a very tall ceiling. The large shower had a great double showerhead for a blissful experience. The building is located right next to Lake Superior and a lakeside trail. The first floor has a sporting goods store and restaurant.

Out biggest negative in our room choice, the Captain’s quarters was the very busy road just outside the windows. Other rooms facing the lake might not have as much of an issue, but I didn’t realize when I chose this room how close it was to the highway not having been to Ashland before. The room itself was ok, not much storage and the elevator is very slow. But the bed was comfortable and the shower was great, two shower heads, regular and rain which was nice to try. The table was wobbly so owners can probably tighten that up.

Fantastic All In One Stay
Our room was off the charts. It felt like we were floating on the water as we looked out over the deck. Beach just steps away. Great coffee shop and cafe. Rentals available. Well organized amenities. Beautiful views.
