Lovely spot, great location
Great location right along Hwy 61, lots to do and see in the vicinity. There are no other hotels or development nearby, so it's a fairly quiet spot. Quiet by North Shore tourist-destination standards, anyway. :)
As some other reviews mentioned, pillows weren't very "fluffy," so I brought my own along, and I'm glad I did. I paid just under $300 for one night for a standard double queen room, which was high but not out of line with other North Shore hotels for our travel dates. It was a weeknight (Thursday), but the start of the statewide teachers' convention weekend, which is one of the biggest travel weekends of the year for Minnesotans, so I suppose I should've expected higher prices. (Checking rates online right now out of curiosity, and I'm finding a "best available rate" of $130 for a Thursday night double queen room, which is what I would generally expect).
