10/10 Exceptional

Our room was tidy and clean, our view was nice. We had a big pine tree outside blocking part of the lake view but it provided nice shade so that we could sit comfortably on the deck in the afternoon sun. The bed was comfy and there's a powerful oscillating fan you can point right at it. Wi-fi was weak with an unsteady connection that kept going in and out but there were some basic cable channels that provided entertainment. There was definitely an odor coming from the bathroom area that I could smell from the bed but it's an older property that could use some tlc and little fixes like the broken lock on the screen door to the balcony as well as a good dusting of the fan. We would for sure stay here again in the future.

Decent place for its age. Sits right next to road but relatively quiet. Looks out over lake.

Beautiful view, and we loved having a balcony to ourselves.

Managed to stay on hottest days of the year, and while the fan helped, cross ventilation would have helped tremendously. Perhaps screen doors on western facade? Staff is friendly and very accommodating. Location perfect for avoiding chi-chi tourist towns but still enjoy the extraordinary views. Recommend with caveat that exterior ready for painting or update. Room was lovely.

Cliff Dwellers Hotel needs upgrades.
Scenery was fantastic. People were friendly. Hotel was in need of upgrades. No AC was an issue. Shower head was too low. Temperature control of water war erratic and scalding at times.

The property was perfect for our short vacation. I enjoyed the balcony and view of lake Superior. All rooms had an amazing view of the lake. It had delicious dining options that were just a few miles away.

Couple day getaway.
I was looking for a quiet place to stay, away from all the hustle and bustle, and by the water. The Cliff Dweller was perfect! The room was cute, cozy and clean with a knotty pine, cabin feel. Bedding was bright white, clean and fresh. The view from the balcony got lots of my time and Onion Falls, a short hike from the hotel, was an added bonus. I have already referred a few friends and will be back!
