They've actually cut out access to the engine room, which is really interesting to see as as well as as you can see the restored officers quarters at a variety of different seniority levels. One of the highlights was the exhibit for the Edmund Fitzgerald, I know there is a larger museum up at whitefish point but this was very interesting too It's definitely worth the time if you like a little bit of history and love to hear about the seafarers

It was by far the best museum that we visited in the UP that was about freighters and shipwrecks. It is one of those places that you could visit multiple times and see something new each time you go. The gift shop employee was very helpful and pleasant too. We definitely would go again!

Spend all day touristing or just driving around? Pasties coming back for a rematch? Visit one too many craft beer joints? Good thing there's a place to rest up a bit before hitting the streets of a frontier town. A simple building houses rest rooms and the requesite "You are HERE"-map. Surrounding space is probably good for zipping around and loosening up in warmer weather, but not so much at 3° in February.

We recently spend a long weekend at Bay View Campground and had a great time. The campsites are…read morelarge and somewhat secluded from each other. Some of the campsites back right up to the beach and Lake Superior. For those that don't, it just a quick one or two minute walk to get there. We stayed at campsite number 20 and it had a great maybe 50 foot path to the beach. Each night we fell asleep to the relaxing noise of waves crashing onto the shore. The beach at the campground is really nice and you can walk for over a mile in each direction. Each campsite has a picnic table and fire pit. The campground has bathrooms with toilets, but it does not have running water. The bathrooms were very clean and the whole campground was really well maintained. I'd definitely recommend camping at Bay View Campground!

It was well stocked with basics like kitchenware, coffee pot, toaster, etc. Gorgeous views and quiet. Really enjoyed our stay. Couple notes when visit 1) Limited resteraunts available. Be sure to check out Goatlocker for local fare. 2) No cable or internet, so be sure to download movies, etc, before going for offline use. Easy to get to with lots of great sightseeing nearby. Loved it.

We planned a fall camping trip and were driven in by the cold and very windy weather. With a days notice, we found Paradise Inn on-line and reserved a king room on a Thursday night for just under $150. The location is fantastic, 15-minutes from Whitefish Point and Tehquamenon Falls. Our check-in and out were smooth and staff were friendly. The hotel is 2-stories and dates, but very clean. The lobby, hall ways, coffee area and light breakfast room all were comfortable and contemporary. It felt inviting. Our king room was very large with a nice living area, wonderfully large jacuzzi bath and separate living area. There was a mini fridge as well. We spend most of our time away but would have loved to relax more in this room. The only complaint is that the light breakfast was only offered from 7-9 am. We arrived downstairs about 9:45, unaware of the early hours. For vacationers, a little more flexibility would be nice. We also expected to be able to walk to the water as the hotel is on the main road that runs along the water. Unfortunately, there is not public access within 10-miles of the hotel. We went to Whitefish Point, 11-miles north, to walk and watch the sunset and dark skies. We're fortunate enough to witness our first display of northern lights. Amazing! We plan to return. This location is a gem for this area.

If you are comfortable camping or staying in cabins then you will be comfortable staying here. If…read moreyou are used to 3 star or better than you may be uncomfortable here but this is rural Michigan and definitely not unexpected. The biggest downside is the bathroom size. It is extremely narrow and if you are tall or a plus size person it will be uncomfortable. There is very little room between the toilet and wall or the bathtub and the wall. If you stay in the cabins there is no view but did feel like it was private. Bringing in an expert for space management and a refresh look would definitely not hurt. Here are the positives! First and foremost the staff is excellent. We encountered several employees and each and every one that helped us were all extremely kind. We have stayed at a total of 8 hotels this trip and they were by far the most friendly and welcoming staff that we came in contact with. The location is absolutely excellent for going to the Locks and going to the local shops. It was great to be able to go across the street to freshen up before a meal or in between tours. Our son had just bought an expensive mattress and went in with flashlights to look for bed bugs and none were to be found and trust me he went down to the mattresses, looked into the corners and under the mattresses as well. A couple of not unexpected moisture bugs were found later in the evening but again this is a cabin lodge type of location near the water. The room was clean and definitely as clean as several others that we stayed at. We stayed two nights but had breakfast only one day at the motel. I definitely regretted not just having breakfast there both days. The food was fresh and for the most part traditional hotel breakfast foods with a fabulous breakfast employee who could not help a person enough.

Lockview was pet friendly, and had a $30 charge for pet cleaning- totally fair. Ultimately, I ended up travelling alone, and the staff removed the pet fee and had my room ready early for check in. The staff is GREAT. It's an older but updated property, and I was able to stay in one of the connected cabins- really cool. Parking was parallel to the door, so close parking was like... 5 feet away from my driver's side door. Push button electronic locks with daily rotating codes- it felt very safe. The cabin was nice and clean, smelled clean, and the furnishings were nice. No caroet, which I prefer- vinyl plank. I enjoyed the round coffee table and the barrel chairs. Made it nice to get some work done not having to sit on a bed, (which would not have been ideal at all since they are raised) at a desk, or in a wingback with no matching height table. Water was hot, TV was great, and the only hiccup was a bad TV HDMI cable which maintenance fixed with a new one in under 15 minutes. Really happy with my stay here, would definitely stay again!
