The Washburn Inn On the Lake

No elevator. No breakfast. Had to call the desk for help getting the air conditioner working. The absolute worst part was after I got my credit card statement to discover that I had been charged twice for the days we stayed. When I called to dispute the charge, the phone number took me to the parent company with no customer service number so I had to listen to a series of recorded numbers for issues that did not include a disputed charge.

The Hotel is clean, the staff friendly, the bed was comfortable and hot coffee in the morning. A very nice place. Yes, there’s no elevator(it’s only a two story hotel) and no breakfast. But we were able to survive the caveman conditions and enjoyed our stay Thanks

There was no all night coffee pot, no vending machines, no continental breakfast, and no elevator. All for just 250 bucks a night! That being said the staff was very pleasant to talk to. And had a wonderful view of the lake. Plus other guests staying here seemed very nice too.

It was a 2-night trip. I had a dream. The Washburn Inn is an older motel on the shore of Lake Superior, east side of the Apostle Islands National Park. We stayed for a couple of week nights and it was a quiet time, early August. The staff were nice and helpful. The room was clean with solid curtains that held back the morning sun. It's not fancy and may have a lingering odor of the days of smoking inside.

The hotel is clean and well maintained. We stayed on a week night in the off season, and we were the only ones there. The front desk staff is friendly and helpful. It’s a great location, and we had a wonderfully quiet and restful night. Highly recommended. Only one question: why build the hotel perpendicular to the lake so not one room has a decent view of the water? Very strange…
