It was a nice clean hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The mattress was one of the most confortable I have had at a hotel. If you need a place to stay in the Ashland/Washburn/Bayfield area, this is the one I would recommend.

We liked it. We would have loved to have half-and-half for the coffee. And my knees would have loved an elevator. So obviously, we have no major complaints! The staff there were friendly and helpful. Thank you!

My stay was good overall. The location next to the lake is wonderful and the staff is very helpful. The room is clean overall and comfortable. My few critiques would be that the lobby does not open until 7 a.m., and so I am unable to get coffee before that time. The furniture is a little dated and not in the best shape. Overall it was a good stay. Thank you!
