Our overall experience was great! One suggestion would be to have larger bottles of shampoo, body wash, etc. In the bathtub. We're seeing more hotels doing this and really appreciate that little extra.

The central air was out in the lobb, main floor and dining area. Very hot and humid.
When we checked into our room the AC was not turned on, it was hot, humid and muggy. It took sometime for the room to cool.

The front desk person did know when the AC on the main floor was going to be fixed, that person was grateful for the fan.

For a property that considers themselves world class. The above short comings should not have happened.

Loved the location of the property and the views. Enjoyed that the rooms were hard floors instead of carpet and there was storage room under the bed to put your suitcase so it didn't take up walking space. Make sure if you want your room cleaned to let them know at the desk the night before.

Was disappointed, the room had a weird smell, the carpet was filthy and stained. Very dated, paid extra for lake view but window was fogged up and old. The elevator smelled bad, carpet dusgusting and made horrible clunking noises, was afraid we would be stuck. Really great coffee, breakfast was good but very long wait.

We asked to cancel due to health issues. The staff said contact Expedia. We did. They stated they tried to contact the hotel on several occasions but the refused to answer so we were charged for the stay even though the hotel told us Expedia could wave it. Since the hotel refused to contact Expedia we were charged. Not a good way to run a business.

My room and the pool were great; I disappointed that the hot tub was not functioning. The stay was fine, but on day 1, I expressed an interest is shortening my prepaid visit by 1 night. I was told Expedia had to handle it for me since I booked thru them. Upon contacting Expedia, I was informed that no, the hotel had to handle the request. The agent attempted to call the hotel twice to get resolved, and no one answered. So they sent an email to the manager. I assume that they never received a reply, because I received no more contact from Expedia regarding the email. I then attempted the front desk again the next day, and they insisted that it must be handled by Expedia. Unfortunately, this back and forth between companies took so much time that I was now outside of the 48-hour window for cancellations, and not eligible to cancel. I am beyond frustrated with both the hotel and Expedia.

Location is great. It's clean, and the beds are comfy, but the wallpaper is peeling, and it's a little run down all over. We heard lots of sounds from the hall and the room next door. Breakfast was mediocre and pretty slow. The hot tub was down, but the sauna was a nice perk. It's not up to modern standards, but the price was right.

We stayed June 9-10 and had to leave on June 11, a day earlier than we planned, due to bed bugs. After 2 nights, I woke up with 11 bites between my left and right arms, and my son had 2 bites on his hand. I tried contacting management via phone several times with no success, and after emailing them pictures of my bites and explaining the situation, they finally responded. I requested a refund of the 1 night we couldn’t stay - not even all 3 nights I had booked - and I thought that was more than reasonable. Management agreed that it was a fair request, but after an entire week and multiple follow-up emails from me, I never received another reply or said refund. They completely ghosted me. They also could not confirm that they adequately treated the room (room 324) for the bugs. Their lack of care and concern for their customers is shameful, and they clearly do not care about their reputation. We came home with suitcases and clothing that had to remain outside to be treated before coming into our home and an entire vehicle to treat as well. I would never recommend this establishment. Very disappointed.

Proper hotels are rather thin in this area but this one is a gem! Staff is excellent and very friendly and accommodating. Rooms are clean and spacious with great amenities for longer stays. The lakeside swings and fire pit is a wonderful bonus and nighttime sky viewing is excellent! WiFi needs a bit of a refresh in areas of the hotel but overall very good. Access from the rear parking area into the hotel is pretty much nonexistent so plan to walk to the front lobby entrance if you have to park in the rear lot (usually not a problem). The hotel restaurant is great and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Watch the hours as they are not a late-night dining spot! Ground floor laundry is very convenient and well kept and stocked. This is our “go-to” stay when visiting the western Michigan U.P. and thankfully keeps us out of Houghton’s college town mess and expense without being so far away as to make it inconvenient when we need to resupply at larger stores (Wal-Mart, etc.). Give this place a try if you are visiting the area!

Check-in was not good. The front desk galdid not talk to us about what time breakfast was. She did not talk to us about check out. She couldn’t find my name in the system so I had to run back out of the car to get my printout showing that we had a room paid for.

There was a baseball team of boys and their parents there. The place was so loud! The boys were right outside the room playing up until 9:45. They were walking down the hallway talking loud and there was a dog barking down the all evening . The dog was in the breakfast area in the evening with no leash walking around barking while those people ate their dinner. I am allergic to dogs and it kept walking by my legs while I was in there.

Fortunately, the woman at the front desk told the parents they had to get the boys quiet by 10 o’clock. Otherwise, we were planning on leaving. There was no way we would get sleep with all that noise!

Definitely not one of our best experiences spending the night at a Wyndham hotel.

The rooms were clean and neat. Great shower pressure. I was well pleased with the room.
The resturant would have Dave Ramesy's head spinning. I ordered walleye, baked potato and vegtable. The fish was full of bones and had no seasoning at all. The potato was cold and dried out and the peas were not completely cooked and were cold also. I have to say, the cook that did breakfast excelled and it was very good.
It was not a bad stay, but there some upgrades needed in the restaurant. Room was good.

The Inn was nicely clean and reasonably priced, albeit it is a bit tired. For example, the room had a very comfortable desk chair, which we took advantage of, yet the surface of the upholstery was badly worn. The caulk in the bathroom needed some work, but the bathroom was sparkling clean. Kudos to the housekeeping staff. The winner of the Baraga Lakeside Inn was, surprisingly, (to me), the restaurant, where I enjoyed one of the best lake trout dinners that I've ever eaten. The sweet waitress, Donna, was a fount of general information about the area, places to fish, all while providing excellent serving skills. We enjoyed our stay and loved the view of Lake Superior, and I have no hesitation in recommending a stay here.

Room was clean and quiet. Not a new hotel, but very well maintained! Comfortable bed . No strange smells. A good size refrigerator with a freezer (dorm size). The pool was warm and so was the hot tub and sauna. All were comfortable to use the pool area was well maintained and clean.
Restaurant/bar seemed nicely busy…didn’t try. The coffee station was always clean and supplied with coffee/hot water/teas/hot cocoa, even honey sticks. No powder creamer😛, it was nice half and half creamers and flavored creamers. There were some pre pack muffins and a basket of fruit.
Over all stay was very nice, nicer than many of the poorly built chain hotels that seem to be over priced and not as well maintained. Great job Baraga Lakeside Inn!
