The room was perfect for myself, and my daughters family. We booked this place for the toddler/child slide for my granddaughter, and ended up using the slide all night. So all of us adults showed the child what fun is about. The hot tub was immaculate when we were able to get in, and the bedroom had a wonderful view. I especially liked that it was up the road from Black Beach, as the last time my daughter and I were up here at the beach, this hotel was being built. It has exceeded my expectations in quality.

I'm not sure there is anything that we could have complained about. The beach was wonderful, mini golf, and the pool.

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).

I don't know if all rooms come with a spa or if we were upgraded to one, but it was lovely. The rooms are very spacious and the balcony and view are lovely. The hotel is very clean, welcoming, and adorable. I enjoyed the breakfast and sitting in the lobby reading. The staff was always accommodating and friendly.

Can't think of a thing

The location was excellent as we were hiking in that area and didn’t have to travel far. The room was spacious and just what we needed. The checkin and out process was quick. We were on the first floor which was a bonus…no stairs to climb. The beds were comfy and the pillows great. We had a suite and there was a fireplace in the main bedroom…we didn’t need it but it was an added feature.

I feel that maybe the pullout couch either hadn’t been used for a while or wasn’t looked at recently. I found an old bottle of water under the mattress. The towels could have been a little softer.

Great location - central to everywhere I was going

The room hadn’t been used in a while as there was dust on the ice bucket lid and on the lamps. When I went to pick up some ice cubes I dropped I saw toe nail clippings on the floor - ew. But I alerted the staff to it and they were prompt to clean it up.

The jacuzzi spa was nice and hot. I enjoyed the steam room. And I even took a few trips down the waterslide. It was nice to have a complimentary hot tea in the evening. The hotel was spotless. I couldn't hear the people in the room next door from my room.

Our kids loved the water slide, mini golf and close access to Black Beach. We stopped here to break up the long trip to the BWCA and are so happy we did. Bonus was that we could see the Silver Bay 4th of July fireworks from the hotel parking lot.

We loved everything here! Front desk help was wonderful. Breakfast was good. Location was right next to miniature golf and pizza which was fun

The water park slide was closed but didn't affect our visit or enjoying the hot tub.

The location was great, right in the middle of things to do. The breakfast was good with a lot of variety.

Our room had one queen size bed and bunk beds. Wasn’t expecting that thought we were getting two queens.

Breakfast was very good, location was amazing. We went for the black sand beach which was right next to the property. Easy to find off of the main highway.

The cost was pretty high for a basic stay. The pool was great but the amount of chlorine was nausea inducing after a few minutes.
