room filthy, needed total updating, smelly not as pictured, no 24 hour help. no phones in room, took credit card up front. charged for 3 nights only made it two and clerk refused to refund money saying she had to talk to the owner and offering bottle of wine. My charge is being disputed for the night I did not stay and was charged. Avoid. I I could not even give a star, that would be my rating.

This is a "less is more" accommodation. If you just need a quiet place to think, walk the shore, read, get away, well, this will do nicely. If you are looking for a jacuzzi and a mini-bar and more, I'm sure you can find them elsewhere. When I arrived, I saw another woman who had a reservation and tried to chat her up, but she was not interested--she was on her annual vacation here and she was very interested in peace and quiet and that was great!



Cape Superior isn't a fancy motel. It's an older motel that has been gussied up. Don't go here if you want all the fancy stuff. It's clean, affordable, and directly faces Lake Superior between Duluth and Two Harbors. My room had a double bed, a shower, a t.v. and a microwave. It's got internet--gotta go ask for the password. My room was cute--nautical navy blue and white theme in a few furnishings. No smoke smell. Bare minimum in soaps and such. Very clean.



To talk to the management, you knock on a door, then wait. Very '50s.



There's a restaurant with a liquor license next door if you want food. And the motel itself has an adjacent liquor store, if that's important to you.

Myself and several friends stopped and stayed at this place. The Restaraunt next to this place is the old castle, but is no longer owned by the people who own the Cape Superior Inn. First, there is no parking lines in the parking lot of the inn, and as small as the driveway to the place is, parking our motorcycles as far as we could out of the way, still left them exposed to the dangerously close vehicle traffic using the driveway. All the rooms are no smoking, and when we went out on the poorly built wooden balcony area in front of our rooms, we were chastised by the manager for being too loud and for drinking. The water pressure during our showers was non-existant. During several of the showers, the water just stopped comming out of the showerhead for 3 or 4 minutes. The rooms look like they were furnished with Salvation Army thrift store items. The beds were small and uncomfortable, there are no telephones or air conditioners in any rooms for those of you wo may want them. The inn is a strip shaped block building with a poorly built and maintained catwalk to the second floor rooms. If you stayed at the local Motel 6 you would probably get a better value for your money and definately would be more satisfied with the accomodations.
