Best Western The Hotel Chequamegon

After loving our stay a few years ago, I was excited when I booked our room for our most recent stay. We checked in and took the elevator to our third floor room, only to walk out of the elevator onto unfinished floors, signs for tripping hazards, and into obvious renovations. Our room with a king bed seemed older and smaller than most. We had no idea that the hotel had suffered serious water damage and at no time had I been notified what we would be walking into. After driving all day, we were looking forward to having dinner and a cocktail at the hotel’s on-site restaurant. Upon arrival, the clerk informed us that the restaurant was closed for two weeks while the staff was on vacation. Again, the hotel has not updated anything to inform anyone of the restaurant’s short-term closure. Goog

Positive: "" Negative: old without the charm. not clean. bathrooms really small and not so clean. over priced.

Great hotel, beautiful view of Lake Superior, comfortable beds and pillows, good breakfast choices, lobby and parlor have some amazing pieces of furniture and lower level has a bar and dining room. Easy to walk to other Ashland restaurants, stores, mural walk, lake side path, beach, and other sites. My only complaint is the lack of outlets for charging your phone and watch. I realize this is due to the historic aspect but I would think some outlet strips could be plugged in for bedside phone charging. Despite this- I would definitely stay here again.

This hotel is going under construction after a major flooding from the middle third floor down to lobby. Walking in looked like a war zone with scaffolding/plastic tarps hanging everywhere and on the floor(for painting). The center areas of each floor had carpet ripped up leaving bare wood. We had a king size third floor room with views of the lake. The views were beautiful (especially at sunset). However, the windows were dirty with bugs/spider webs ( we had a small spider in our room-ugh!). The air conditioning unit blows very hard directly onto the bed and was very loud. There is a sleep mode which keeps the unit constantly on. The bathroom is small. There is a second sink outside the bathroom but there were no towel holders. The breakfast bar was good (eggs/waffles/cereal/toast/e

For $250 I expect a hot tub, a hotel that’s not under construction, shampoo and conditioner, I was just saying I’m thankful the front desk was super nice comforting nice guy. I don’t think I would have any incentive to stay here again… I will say the breakfast was nice. I was also a little frustrated that I was asked for tips three separate times and even by email I get it but pay your employees so they don’t have to rely on tips and you don’t have to rely on the public.
