We were pleased to be able to get a reservation for the 1 night we stayed at the Blue Wave Inn. Because of it being Memorial Day weekend, many hotels were requiring a multiple night stay. This is an unique facility, with only 5 rental units, a store and a restaurant and it is right on Lake Superior. We arrived around 7 pm and there were no other cars in the lot. When we entered the building, we saw a note to check in at the store. When we found that closed, we were directed to check our confirmation email. At that point, I checked my phone and found directions to use a code in the elevator and go to the 3rd floor. We found our key in the door and our room was very attractive and beautifully decorated! Various kinds of coffee pods were available, but we don't drink coffee, so no big deal for us. Would have been nice if they offered tea or hot chocolate in addition to coffee. They also offered a corkscrew, wine glasses, a refrigerator and a great walk in shower. We would definitely stay here again if in the area!

Per cominciare con la stanza, la AC non funzionava, non c'era carta da bagno, non c'era internet né la TV funzionava e la testa del doccia mi ha fatto dover andare sotto la spray e io sono 5'4”. Il piano del bagno era sporco, e noi solo davamo due scarse tovaglie di qualità. E puoi sentire tutto nella stanza sopra di te. La prima notte sono andato al divano per ottenere carta da bagno e ho dovuto aspettare 15 minuti per qualcuno entrare dalla loro pausa di fumo. La seconda notte (8:00), mio marito doveva andare a prendere più tovaglie (3 di noi tutti in camera, e noi davamo solo due tovaglie), e si fermò a prendere tovaglie da piscina (molto ratti e sottili) perché nessuno venne mai e lo aiutava al conto. Il terzo giorno, andammo a chiedere i tovaglioli e fu detto che non c'era nessuno e potevamo usare matte di pavimento ... assolutamente disgustoso.

Grande soggiorno, diverso da quello che era stato il condizionatore d’aria, e tutta la notte, molto rumoroso, nessuna aria muovendo, nonostante io l’avrei girato e l’aria calda così difficile da dormire. Oltre a questa bella proprietà, persone pulite e amiche che lavorano qui!

The PROs: Very nice staff including cleaning crew and breakfast crew. Everyone was super nice. Two chairs in the room besides the beds, etc so we could sit down to eat at the desk. Shower had lots of hot water and good pressure. It seemed fairly quiet. I didn’t hear a lot of noise but that could just be the people who were there that night. Good variety of pillows. Microwave and fridge worked well. Location was not bad and the view from the breakfast room was nice. The CONs: The hallways and the room smelled bad. The hallway by the front desk smells like pool, but the stairway and hallway out to the left of the main desk were gross smelling, like a mix of cat pee and smoke. I don’t know what it was but it was not nice. The beds were innerspring mattresses and you could tell. They sort of sagged to the middle a bit, not very comfortable. The bathrooms are small and everything is a bit outdated. We found the previous people’s socks so I am guessing the vacuuming could be better. The breakfast food was yucky. The eggs were barely warm and were watery and spongy. When pressed with a fork, clear liquid squeezed out. I think they were frozen and hadn’t been heated up enough. The sausage was also spongy and not very warm . The oatmeal is only the packets of oatmeal that you mix with hot water. I guess, sort of standard for some hotels, but when you pay $250 for a room, I would hope for a better breakfast including maybe a gluten-free bagel or bread tucked into a freezer somewhere so people who are gluten-free have something to eat besides squishy eggs and spongy sausage. I could overlook some of this if we hadn’t paid so much. I expect things like this from hotels that are $89 a night, not anything near the price we paid.
