The most important factor is the location. I'm certain they must make their income during a limited tourist season but the room seemed to not represent good value.

The room was quite mediocre. No daily room service, the last paint job was amateurish, there was not nearly enough lighting in the rooms, halls, or lobby. The breakfast was only adequate. The bedding seemed aged.

There are very few eating establishments any place near.

I would not return.

Worst Hotel Stay Ever!! Filthy!!

Trash was overflowing, breakfast was cold, help was very rude, no fitness center, rooms very nasty. Tried talking with manager but he refused to talk about anything. Was only trying to have the $250 reduced to at least $180. Im a traveling Nurse and stay at alot of hotels was just hoping for a little compassion.
Thank you for your time.

We enjoyed Black Beach Inn for the convenience of a mini getaway with our dog. The pet friendly room was perfect. Maybe a suggestion is to remove all the carpeting. We could access the outside on the ground floor to pet area right from our room. We didn't stay here for the view of the lake because there is minimal views. I knew we were going to be outside seeing the sights all day and just needed a place to chill in the evening. Our room was clean. I used the public pool/hot tub felt great after a day of hiking. Our room also had the jacuzzi tub for relaxing in after a day of hiking. Overall we enjoyed the stay. Dining option were limited. We tried Cove Point Crossings pizza one night and the second day we were in Grand Marais and many dining options there.

The pool’s ventilation system was apparently down but it was still running. The pool area had a slide. However you could not stay in the pool area for more than 20-30 minutes without your eyes and skin burning from the fumes. The front desk lady upon our check in was very kind and helpful. After she had left we had a few requests extra towels and more sheets as there was none, the returning people at the front desk they were very short and not friendly. Our hotel room was not clean and we found old milk container beside the bed that had dust on it it was there so long. We had 6 people in to sleep and was originally set up for two beds and a bunk. We ended up getting a kind bed and a pull out which was HIGHLY uncomfortable and not able to sleep in it. For the amount of money we had spent we were very uncomfortable.

AVOID. Terrible service at the front desk. Never seen anything like it: people were not just unfriendly but outright hostile. When I asked to be given a different room due to the ice machine and laundry room being close to our room I was informed that they were sold out. The next morning the senior manager told me that in fact 4 other rooms had been available but the front desk couldn't be bothered to move us to a quieter room. Instead we had the pleasure of enduring a largely sleepless night.
The senior manager and Wyndham customer care office promised to address the situation. I am still waiting to hear from them again. Cleanliness of the room was not great either and beds were not particularly comfortable. I would say in your own interest - AVOID this hotel under all circumstances. Hope this review of a terrible hotel is a little helpful.

Unfortunately, this hotel has gone downhill. There were food stains on our sheets and only one worker so we had to change the sheets ourselves (which we were fine with). The mattress had a rip and stain in it. The window was glazed over with a haze, not a mist, but a haze that, even when washed, would not go away, and the room smelled like stinky feet. Despite all this, the beds were really comfortable and the hotel was close and convenient to the highway. It has now been sold and will be called Black Beach Inn starting August 1st. I hope things improve as we loved this hotel and have been staying here for years.

Fancy? No. Good stay? YES

This hotel was comfortable and well serviced. The children had a blast participating in the \"Mile Slide\" contest and the front lobby made for a comfortable work-space for Dad. The cleanliness and breakfast weren't excellent, but were adequate for the overall price. Would DEFINITELY stay again

It was really dark around the property
The lobby was nice only thing that was good.The room was dirty a big red stain on the carpet marks on the wall and MOLD on the shower curtain. Talk to the manager in the morning and He could have cared less. 285.00 for a crap place.I do not recommend at all.

Really weird room. We had a two room king suite with the air conditioner and fireplace (pilot light constantly provided heat) that worked against each other. The living room with the sofa bed room was really warm, while the bedroom stayed cool. The cover on the sofa bed mattress was filthy. I asked for extra sheets to cover it. I would not stay in a room like this again.

There were literally no dining options within a 10 mile radius. We asked the front desk. They really didn't give much help. Finally went to a gas station and bought chips, cookies and water. The rooms were clean but overpriced.

Ok, not great.

We chose the hotel for the pool slide. My kids love to find a place with a water slide on vacation. Grand view lodge in Niswa is a favorite of our. Both are fully independent swimmers, can tread water for several minutes, dive to the deep end and swim laps. But they are 44 and 46” tall. No go for this slide. The high school girl attending the slide said no go. The hotel, otherwise, was nothing to write home about. Dated, clean enough - the circulation on the pool deck wasn’t great. Terrible on eyes and lungs. Wading pool was closed for cleanliness. Will stay somewhere else on the north shore next time.

When checking in, the first room had bugs. Asked front staff for another room, second room had dirty sheets! Time to leave! Because we booked through Expedia, I am still waiting for hotel manager to okay a refund! Never had this issue before working with Expedia so I hope they will do right for us with this hotel. I had to have our young adults continue to travel and booked a room in another town.
Certainly, this hotel is lacking in staff.

The only issue was the window was open on the outside sash so we were kept up by people in the parking lot. The window should have been shut so we could open it, then shut it before lying down. Staff and food were great.

Just okay.

Check-in person was great. We (the kids) were super excited about the waterslide only to find out it doesn’t open until 5pm on Fridays-around 510 I asked the front desk worker if there would be anyone available to run the slide and she looked up from her cell phone and was a bit snippy with me, saying he was making beds that didn’t get done earlier and he’d be down later. (The rest of the staff was kind and helpful for the stay). Once the lifeguard got there, he was great and the kids loved the slide and the pool. Hot tub and pool smelled pretty heavy on the chlorine but no one got sick or got rashes so it was fine. Our hotel room was sufficient but the pillows are pretty pathetic-I needed 3 to even lift my head off the bed. There was also a MAJOR sugar ant infestation. Like, they were ALL over the counter by the TV and even crawling on us while we were going to bed…so that was less than ideal. Overall it was fine because we needed a place to stay for my husband to run Grandma’s Marathon, but we wouldn’t be likely to stay here again.

The customer service wasn’t great, the receptionist was very sassy. The vending machine and pool were out of order. The rooms were small and not up to date and didnt smell the best. The bathroom light was upwards of going out. The breakfast was the only positive review. Beds were very hard and pillows were small. Tv was very small.

Tiok a family trip to pick up our new kitty and forgot the vet records in the hotel room after checking out. They called to say they found them and that they would mail them to me. So thankful as I'm not sure what I would've done without them.

The room was great, i thought it had a pull out but it didn't. But clean. We had a lake view which was great, but there was viable garbage from a remodel in the wooded area behind our room. Like file cabinets and shelving were just thrown out there. The staff were friendly and kind, couldn't be better. The pool had way too much chlorine, it burned our eyes and had everyone coughing. So not really relaxing. Couldn't turn the keys on in the hot tub.

Awareness is Key

The hotel itself is great! Great breakfast options, comfortable bed, clean rooms and commin spaces, very friendly staff. This last stay was just noisier than normal with parents allowing their kids to run up and down the halls, yelling, playing hockey in the halls, etc. I chose not to complain to the front desk the first 2 nights after realizing there were hockey tournaments in the area. The third night, decided to confront the parties directly and things quieted down.
