I had mixed feelings about my stay at Barkers Island Inn. The location near Lake Superior was beautiful and family-friendly, perfect for our trip. However, the room I got was pretty substandard with a few maintenance issues, and I was disappointed with the service during breakfast. Overall, while there were some positives, there were definitely areas that need improvement.

I had a decent stay overall, enjoying the heated pool and friendly staff. The lobby was inviting, but the room cleanliness left much to be desired. The food at the restaurant was surprisingly good, but the outdated condition of the hotel was noticeable. For the price, it offers some value, but it needs updates to justify a longer return visit.

My stay was quite an experience with some notable highs and lows. The hotel has a charming interior and a great pool area with a sauna, but the staff seemed indifferent, which puts a damper on the visit. While my room offered a lovely lake view and decent space, it had a slight smell and some signs of age, which detracts from the overall comfort. Plus, the lack of breakfast options on weekends was disappointing.
