Lake Superior Lodge, Ashland

great place to stay if : you dont mind not being able to sleep on account of noise, dont mind not being able to use pool/spa on account of kids/and walk in parties and most of all you dont mind parking you car on HWY 2 in the event of a party next door. the manager sucks all she can do is say (SORRY). there are plenty of other nice hotels in ashland with good staff and nice rooms. I wont even start on the room. I have stayed in 30.00 a night rooms cleaner than this.

Nice "northwoods" atmosphere. Great views of the lake. Clean, large parking lot, quiet, nice restaurant adjacent to the property. Nice pool (although it was a bit cold). Nice grassy area with chairs, chaise lounges to catch rays or read a book. Not being a "kid" person, it would be nice to have an adult time (early morning or later evening) for the pool. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

The hotel is in the final stages of a complete refurbishment, and whilst this might put some people off everything was done to minimise the inconvenience. A room with a lake view is an absolute must. Lay in bed and watch the sunrise over Lake Superior, watch the herons skimming the lake or the mother duck and her duckilings emerging from the reeds. Sit outside in the evening and enjoy all that the lake has to offer. The newly renovated pool was superb with clean fluffy towels ready available from reception. The only grouse was the varied quality of the food, however a new restaurant is planned to be open in August.
