The location is nice. The view of Lake Superior is great. Didnt like the musty smell in the room, no ceiling fan. We tried to use the fan on air conditioning unit and had to stop as it had a really bad odor. Didnt like the rain dripping on the outdoor box outside window, kept me up overnight. Needs more amenities, a breakfast option would be nice. Better air circulation in the room. A working air conditioner.

The hotel is pretty outdated but the service was good with friendly staff. Right on Lake Superior with a restaurant in the parking lot. It is also walking distance to downtown with other dining options available. We arrived early and they let us get into our room since it was ready. That was much appreciated. Staff always had a smile on their faces and were willing to answer any questions we had about the local areas.

We needed a last minute room for the Bayfield/Washburn area, and I’m so thankful we ended up at the Washburn Inn! The room was well kept and clean, the shower water pressure and temperature was great, but the best part was the front desk staff. I had asked about a few local features and businesses and while he was immediately knowledgeable about them and told me about local walking trails, he then called our room later to let us know about a suggestion he just heard from another customer that was useful for us too! That personal touch was great.

The location is excellent with a walking path by the lake. The staff were all friendly. The carpet in our room appeared to be dirty and probably is where the odd smell was coming from.

Not the best

We were 2nd floor, no elevator. Asked for 1st but none available. Nearing 70 it was hard dragging luggage up. Never mentioned no elevators on Hotels.com when I looked before booking. ( I did check while there and it is noted further down on the site). Wish it was stated sooner. There is no house keeping (a common thing now it seems). Dirt on bath door and wall - looks like something dripped down it. Safe didn’t work. Bad pillows, bed old. I guess just didn’t enjoy it that much. Good coffee available tho.
