Always Impressed...

In general: We've stayed here several times when in the area riding motorcycles this was our first snowmobile trip stay. From my phone reservation call with Lindsay to the warm reception from the maintenance guy and the desk clerk the service was exceptional. We wondered into the Black Woods Grill and the experience got even better. An engaged young lady took our order with a smile, checked back regularly and served some of the best food we've ever had on a trip. We used the hot tube and pool every night, ate there and never really had to leave for anything. Awesome!!! Location and surroundings: The snowmobile trail runs right to the motel with 2 gas stations a stone's throw away. Nice big parking lot with a power hook up for our trailer and diesel truck. A quick run north to Fish Lake and great trails all the way to Silver Bay and beyond. Service: Rooms were super clean with good showers. Everyone was accommodating. We had guys loose room keys and they fixed us right up. The staff was great. Dining: I can count on 1 hand the number of motels I will eat at...this one is the tops! The wait staff was amazing. We ate in the bar, Whitney and Mc Kenzie switched TVs for us, kept the beer coming and were fun to have serving us. They showed a real interest in making our stay a good one. RARE these days. Sports and leisure: Close enough to everything but far enough out of Duluth to navigate with a truck and trailer. Room: Clean and functional. Useful tips: Trails are smoothest during the week. They get pretty beat up on the weekends. Have the Walleye sandwich. :)
