    Stopped in for dinner. Nice setting, good atmosphere. Will review the dinner.

    It's difficult to accurately review at this time due to the COVID situation. But, I can cover the basics that should be expected if an establishment decides to open their doors. We had two rooms for four people. Both rooms carried an odor of stale smoke and were musty. Both bathrooms were a bit dirty, with hair on the bathroom floor and in the tubs. One AC unit was either on, or off. No thermostatic control. There was also an almost constant smell of Marijuana in the hallways - it is legal for recreational use in Wisconsin. The bar and restaurant were open. Service was very slow, but the had very few staff on - I'm sure due to COVID restrictions. Food was decent. But a bit overpriced for quality and quantity. It's a really nice location. Nearby marina if you fish or have a boat to bring. I will still give them another try when things get back to normal. I think back in the day the Inn was probably considered luxurious. It's a bit on the outdated side now.

    Abandon all hope ye who enter.

I always knew that this Hampton Inn was in Wisconsin, and chose it because it was the cheapest deal I could find at the time. And no, I'm not sure why Duluth hotel properties are so relatively expensive. We found the Hotel relatively easy to find, although the adjacent building/road construction made the directions (and turns) a little more challenging. Getting back into Duluth Minnesota (for Dinner later) was fairly easy and port/lake scenic. If there's a next time, I'll continue up the North Shore and make my stop more that a one night visit. The Hampton property reflects the modern refurbishments within the chain, which I found clean, comfortable and welcoming. Upon check-in, the most important tasks were: 1. Shower (!) 2. Change into Clean Clothes (Yes, the ride down from Ely was a little "ripe") 3. Separate and Pack Up the "Canoe Clothes" 4. Make Dinner Reservations (Grandma's) 5. Chat with Gayle again (the first call upon return from the Lake) I also got a good night sleep, enjoyed the free hot breakfast (and friendly staff) in the morning, and hung out with Bob/Bird and Jeff before we all went our separate ways.

I can speak and offer opinions with particularity and knowledge about hospitality. Unfortunately, lately, service and attention to detail have declined significantly. Perhaps due to cutting corners and not giving travelers what they deserve. Remember, people look for that little corner that somehow makes them feel close to home. I was very surprised and delighted to find this place. I didn't expect such personalized, friendly, and professional service. When I checked into the condo, I was pleasantly surprised. Large, comfortable, well-appointed, and with very tasteful details in the decor. Very well thought out. The privacy of the unit (305B) is excellent. The kitchenware and utensils are of very high quality. But the most important thing is the cleanliness and hygiene. A very rare bird, or Rara Avis, to find. I hope they continue like this. Especially with the bedding and towels. I wish them the best. Just one detail. They should have at least one unit with a shower for disabled guests, not for me, but for other people. Thank you.
