Clean room, great staff. Room service wasn’t done daily you had to call a number for service. Ran out of toilet paper night #1 as it only had 1/4 roll in it. Continental Breakfast was great and plenty of options. Would definitely stay here again.

This place is awesome!! First of all, thanks to the front desk person we were able to check in an hour late after the front desk closed. Parking went smoothly, even with a bunch of snowmobile trailers around. The sleeping part was great! Comfortable beds and smart TVs which allow us to stream. In the morning we tried the shower and let me tell you this is the complete opposite of your typical hotel shower. It actually has water pressure and so much where you have to make sure the water doesn't hit the back lip of the tub, where it then can leak out of the tub (be careful). Rest of the room was great! We also weren't expecting breakfast but they sure had it with delicious premade (you toast them) waffles and other grab and go stuff. The juice was also really good. If you wanted to bring Jimmy Dean sandwiches or something of that sense, you can as they have a microwave in that breakfast area that is available to use. Lastly, the hottub was very nice to use! Very refreshing after a day skiing at Lutsen. They also had a pool and sauna which we did not use. Overall I'd absolutely stay here again and recommend others to do the same!
