I had a mixed experience at the Black Beach Inn. The amazing views of Lake Superior were the highlight, especially with the deer wandering nearby. However, my room needed attention, as it wasn’t as clean as I expected. While the location is fantastic for hiking and scenic outings, the service could definitely improve.
