Blue Wave Inn

“Beautiful boutique hotel! Great value!”

This is a great boutique hotel. Our room was quiet, beautiful, perfectly clean, and very comfortable. The room had everything you could need. It's right on the shore of Lake Superior, with great views. There's a coffee shop on the main floor with great coffee.

“Perfect View and Relaxation”

Perfect! We splurged for our anniversary and it was well worth it! We stayed in #3 Flowing Waters. The room was beautiful and the view was stunning!! Real glass pint glasses to use while enjoying a drink on the balcony and listening to the waves of the lake in the evening. Real coffee cups to use while enjoying a cup of coffee on the balcony while watching the sunrise and the sky change color and reflect off of the lake in the morning. Nice cotton robes to wear after enjoying the jacuzzi tub. The bed was cozy and comfortable to just lay in and enjoy the beautiful view of the lake. The shower is pure bliss with dual heads. Everything was clean. It was like a cozy home with a perfect view. The only thing that would improve it would be someone there to check you in and give you your key in-person instead have having an elevator code sent to you in an email.

We enjoyed the beautiful view from our room and balcony. The rooms were very clean and stocked with all the amenities needed to enjoy our evening. We got to enjoy the amazing sunset and wonderful sunrise right from our balcony. The staff and owners were very helpful and offered up recommendations on where to eat and places to visit. Would go back again.

I spent only one night here in August in Room 5. It does not have a balcony. I did not enjoy my stay, but perhaps a winter stay might be better here than summer. The upside: Nice location next to Lake Superior with easy on/easy off from the highway. Room was clean, bathroom shower was large, towels and linens decent. There is a nice dorm room style fridge in the room and a microwave in the hallway (for common use with the other rooms). The downside: This is more like an air B&B vs. an inn. There is a person working in the downstairs shop during the day, but after hours there is no on site presence. The 5 rooms are located on the 3rd floor above the shop & cafe. There is no complimentary breakfast served as you'd typically find in a true inn (Think Rittenhouse Inn in Bayfield.) When you depart in the morning there is no one to check out with and no one ever asks you how your stay was, not even via email post check out. The room was 77 degrees on our arrival. Someone had turned it down to 68 and apparently the AC stops working if you go below 69 degrees. Once we figured that out and turned the AC back up to 69 it kicked in and took about 90 minutes to cool the room to 74 degrees. We kept the thermostat on 69, but the room never dropped below 74 degrees, which for me is too warm for sleeping. If you're staying in winter this may not matter. There was a cute high-boy style table in the corner with two chairs. It held a Keurig maker and cups etc, however the table seriously rocked if you even touched it. We had to prop it up with rolled napkins to make it even slightly stable. Since it was so unsteady we chose not to use the table. Any maid cleaning this room and setting up the table would have recognized an issue here, so clearly someone is deciding it's not worth their time to fix it. The curtains are not room darkening. In summer in Northern Wisconsin it stays light well into the evening and the sun comes up early. In addition 2 of the windows in this room face the highway and it is very loud with trucks and motorcycles etc. Between the hot room, the inability to get the room dark and highway noise we found ourselves very short changed on sleep. The elevator is very slows and I stopped using it. When I did use it I had to repeatedly enter the code I was sent as the door would close, but the elevator would not move. Using the stairs is much easier, but be aware that you walk up stairs to level 2 and then you have to use a metal key to get through this door. You then go up another flight of stairs to get to level 3 (where the 5 rooms are located) You then use a different key to access your room. You might enjoy a stay here more than I did. I was glad to leave in the morning. I was disappointed that there was no one around at 9 am to talk to about some of the issues with the room. I was disappointed that no one ever messaged me to ask my thoughts about my stay. I will definitely stay elsewhere on future visits to the area.
