This no-frills motel has incredible views and is well located. We loved the row Adirondack chairs facing the lake and the sweet chairs outside our room. The management knows what the main selling point of the Sunset is. The breakfast was decent: we took our yogurts and danishes and went on a great hike. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

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.

It was a beautiful area and for the price of the room, the rooms could be updated. Electrical outlets were loose and door was tough. To open. Just felt old and dated.
