Wonderful location. Staff go above and beyond expectations... Seth, Millie, and Katy are all helping us track down a historical photo of our grandfather that was in the hotel in 2021! The complimentary breakfast was fabulous...and kept well stocked as well as cleaned up after guest spills. The on site restaurant had great deals on lunch, and large variety of beer and wine. Pool looked nice, but did not use it. Beds and linens clean and comfortable. Lake view beautiful from 3rd floor. No ghosts in 318 or 320 :).

Thank you for a fantastic experience!

This is a great hotel. I’ve stayed here multiple times over the years and always enjoy the stay. The hotel is in a great location-overlooking Lake Superior with lots of parking, nice amenities, wonderful staff and walking distance to downtown Ashland (good restaurants, stores and entertainment). I love the history of the place and with the updates it’s even more comfortable.

My only complaint, ever, has been with other guests. This trip there were young children chasing each other through the halls with no adult supervision until after 11 pm. The last trip was several rooms of very intoxicated and loud adults who didn’t settle down until quite late. Both of these stays were on weekends so you might find it more relaxing from Sunday to Thursday. I’ll still go back, but less often than I would like I think.

It's a beautiful historic building on Lake Superior, but you wouldn't know the building is old by the updates in the room. Everything was clean, comfortable and in good condition. Baseboard heat eliminated the loud blowing noise from a wall-mount unit such as those in most hotels.

Breakfast had great selection and overall quality, but should have been warmer.

Mold on walls and ceiling in shower. The alarm clock was set to go off at 3 AM. It took us 30 minutes to get the TV working. We were not told that the entire second floor was under construction, even upon check-in. All staff that we encounter very professional and friendly. We had to turn on the air conditioner because the room was at 80° with no way to turn it down aside from turning on the air conditioning.

Property is licated at a very convenient location with walkable distance to main street, shopping and few dining options as well, including a restaurant in basement.
But the hitel was open during construction when i went this weekend (10/17 - 10/19) 2025.
So the decks are closed and second floor qhere i stayed didn't had flooring in the middle of yhe hall way and construction debris here and there.
Also the toilet was not flushing when i arrived. Staff came immediately and cleared it but the water force qmwas very poor even after that.
Won't be recommending in current conditions.

The only positive is the location

It's not unreasonable to adjust a price down instead of up for the condition of the property!
Check in: I waited for about 15 min for a phone call to end, only to be dismissed for a man that walked up 10 min after. There was no mention of the EXTENSIVE construction.
Elevator: slow and exited to cardboard floor, dismantled ice machine, open rooms with no walls or ceiling, but available tools and low light in hallways.
Room: spacious but only had hot water for super early morning showers, not for afternoon shower or water hot enough to dissolve Epsom salt.
Staff direction to waterfront were sketchy and unhelpful. Afternoon desk staff loudly discussed his poor mood by 4:00 with other staff members. No hint of area activities or safe crossing of a highway through a tunnel that apparently exists.
Breakfast: I only tried a waffle but the batter was runny like it was watered down to stretch further and cooked poorly and had no taste.
We did not have a mouse (rodent) in our room but easily could have as the neighbors said they ushered one into the hall.
Check out: the desk staff was not unpleasant but seemed aware enough not to ask how the stay was.
The hotel has so much potential based on the outside being so beautiful, but $350/night for a city view was mind-blowing for the condition of the hotel and the gentleman at the desk who seemed not grasp the concept of hospitality.

Unfortunately we did not enjoy our time at this property. It had warned us of construction that was happening but we walked in to scaffolding in the lobby and floorboards missing in our room which left big holes in the walls. The toilet was stained blackish from the water. And our view was of empty garbage cans and plants that were lying down tucked u dear our window. The balcony was closed for remodeling but that was what was out our window. The lake view was great and the restaurant had good food and friendly staff. The room was clean but had a strong perfume smell that we were told was cleaning chemicals. We shortened our stay to one night and thankfully the hotel staff didn’t charge us for the cancellation of the remaining stay. We will not be back to this hotel. It just wasn’t a place we felt comfortable staying at and it was from the moment we arrived.

Hotel has been updated on the exterior and looks great. Interior needs to be remodeled, including room design and furnishings. Hallways are dark and uninviting. Major repairs to the lobby and first floor lounge were in process due to a significant leak in their sprinkler system. This system failure, along with other items noted suggests poor overall maintenance.

Expedia should have alerted us that the building was undergoing renovations. The bathtub was very unclean. We did not have during any of the five nights we stayed there housekeeping service. We did receive clean towels when we asked for them.

Staying during water remodeling

We picked this hotel for its exterior looks when we stayed in Ashland. Regrettably, we arrived during contruction following a water problem that harmed the 2nd floor and lobby that made using the lobby very difficult. I think without that mess that the stay would have been a lot more favorable for an overnight stay. Other than the 3rd floor area by the elevators also being repaired, the stay might have been a lot more comfortable if not only more memorable.

Stay Away

Walking in we were disappointed to see everything torn up with construction. With no explanation we took our key card and made our way to the third floor. Only to be greeted by the hallway floors torn up. Later a woman who worked at the restaurant explained that the sprinklers had malfunctioned weeks ago, causing lots of damage. We should have had this communicated to us before we arrived and most certainly at time of check in. Some of the construction people were just plain rude. Almost running into my husband. There’s a nice balcony, but of course they decided to close that down. So not only is the lobby a mess we couldn’t even access that amenity. If management would have communicated concern and apologies angry customers would have been more sympathetic. We chose a lakeside room which had what appears to be the same bugs and cobwebs on the windows as people were complaining about 2 years ago. We don’t mind paying more for something nice, but this was far from nice. The breakfast was just okay. Everything was very disappointing. Didn’t try the restaurant because after 2 nights there we were just over it.

An amazing anniversary

What a beautiful facility right on Lake Superior. From the front desk guys who were so accommodating to our requests to the check out gal who took our picture, it was a trip we won’t soon forget. When you walk into the lobby, the stunning decor of the facility brings you back to the golden age. The outdoor patio was quite comfortable and the view was amazing. Great place to kick back and watch God’s beauty. The rooms were spacious, very comfortable and have the tallest ceilings I have ever seen. The complimentary breakfast was the best I have ever enjoyed in a hotel setting. All in all, it was a very memorable anniversary getaway and one I will long remember. Thank you Best Western.

Family of 4, vacation stay for 1 night. Beautiful view of Lake Superior. Onsite access to a lakeside trail for our runners. Beds are comfy and room is spacious. HVAC unit fan allows good white noise to drown out highway noise. The breakfast was great!
