Clean, older motel with a great view and nice staff. View was outstanding! Also, compared to other hotels in area the price was pretty good. Breakfast was bare bones and the bathroom was clean but very small. Room set-up was kind of odd (2 rooms with 2 Q beds), but had to walk thru the 2nd bedroom to get to the bathroom. Definitely needs some modernization..plugs for computer/phone charging non-existant.
Loved the location on the water. Bathroom is a bit dated and on the small side but overall spacious quarters. No hair dryer in our room but staff found me one and delivered to room. Air contracted loud.
The room was clean and comfortable. The faucet was really hard to turn on and off. There really wasn't a kitchen. There was refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot and sink. Beautiful scenic property overlooking the bay. The decor was dated but overall it was good.

Property had a very nice view of the lake. It’s convenienty located. Bathroom was small and tight getting to the tub. The whole unit needs repairs and upgrades. Not many motels in the town, but I would not recommend it.

Just a bit of maintenance and it will be great!
Enjoyed the stay, I would stay again when in area
Beautiful view
Good location, pretty view over the bay. The room is very dated, small restroom. The property has great potential however I would say that it would benefit from being updated. The room we stayed in was above the office, the stairs getting there were in need of some attention.
Great location and clean motel. The deck and view of the bay was nice. Hotel was quite and peaceful. Linens and sheets were clean and the bed was comfortable. Our room had a small kitchen which was nice to make a quick breakfast and coffee.
The location was easy to find and had ample parking for us and other guests.
The front desk staff was person was very nice but a little hard to communicate with. Overall a great experience at the Sunset.

The view of Lake Superior from the hotel is fantastic. The room was inexpensive compared to other hotels. The room itself was clean although it could use a paint job. The beds were comfortable. There was mold in the shower, so I decided not to take a shower. Unlike the website description and comments, the hotel does have an office. There is a TV in the rooms.
This Motel is perfect for what it is supposed to be , a quaint lodging on the bay which connects to Lake Superior. Quiet , humble. Coffee available in Office first thing in the morning. This is not a Hyatt or Marriott. We loved our short stay and the incredible dark sky at night and beautiful sunset , sunrise.

Enjoyed the view location and staff. Room was good. Only one problem, we did see a mouse in our room. Mentioned it to a gal who was doing the cleaning when we left. Still not a deal breaker. Would stay again. Just recommend some traps.

Wonderful view with very nice staff. Our A/C unit has mold inside so we didn’t use it.
Beautiful location on the shores of Lake Superior. Comfortable outdoor space for sitting and relaxing. Great and helpful staff, allowed early check-in since our room had already been cleaned.
