"It was a serviceable enough room for the price, which I thought was on the high side, but it is on Lake Superior. The pull out couch, as most are, was awful. The head was lower than the feet. My back paid the price. I would rate the room 3 out of 5. We did not have a lot of contact with staff and we did not eat breakfast at the hotel."

"This is a nice, small, and very clean motel. The manager was nice and helpful. I stayed more than one night and have no complaints. Parking is available on site as well as next door. A large, well known gas station chain has a location right next door and Ashland has a lot to offer when it comes to food and drink options. I suggest going downtown to check out all the amazing murals on some of the buildings and go see the sites and view of the lake. I have been to Ashland more than once and I always have a good time when I’m there."

The nearby beachs were clean and very accessible. Bedrooms are upstairs and bathrooms are downstairs. We maneuvered just fine but would not be easy if one can not do stairs.
