The Quality Inn: A Case Study in Thermodynamic Failure…read more * The Atmospheric Conditions: The pool area isn't just a leisure space; it's a self-contained weather system where the ventilation has been "optimized" for profit, resulting in indoor glaciers that would make a National Geographic photographer weep. The poor air circulation in addition to saving money, is no doubt generating revenue for pharmaceutical companies treating all of the mold allergies. * The Biological Indicators: That signature "clean pool" smell is actually the olfactory evidence of a thousand local toddlers using the facility as a public latrine--a chemical reaction of chloramines that serves as a warning to anyone with an intact immune system. At $7 a local kid for a whizpool, it's surely a profit center, and you can certainly smell the difference. * The Culinary Experience: Breakfast consists of "food-like substances," specifically chunks of microwaved egg that appear to be weeping for their own existence and pork sausages swimming in a reservoir of grease and existential dread. * The Lobby Ambience: The computer station is guarded by a territorial child-in-residence who has seemingly aged into the upholstery over the last two years, ensuring that "tacky" remains the primary aesthetic. * The "Coffee": A beverage so weak and feeble it qualifies as a crime against humanity. It isn't brewed coffee in the way that we've all come to expect; it's a hot, wet insult served in a cup, located--fittingly--in a completely different room to distance itself from the concept of actual food. If you ever find someone whose teeth are on fire, and you are fresh out of urine, this coffee is a great substitute...

OMG this had to be ONE OF THE WORST places we've EVER stayed at!!!!…read moreFirst and foremost, let me state there was one very nice person there: Kristin. She was very polite and respectful. The rest of them, including the manager named Renee were GOD AWFUL!!!! - First, there was the pre-arrival. Prior to getting there, I called and asked if we could extend our stay. One of the individuals called "Saige" was reluctant to do in the first place!!! Saying phrases like "uhhhh we really don't do stuff like that around here." Really lady? Wow, great attitude to have. When I asked here to call me back after she said she needed to speak with her manager....she NEVER DID!!!!!! I had to call back a few times just to request an update!! When I finally got the answer I needed, she seemed upset by her manager's decision...taking forever to answer me because she was annoyed....and was very rude and tangential in the conversation. It was so bad, I had to tell her to please speed it up and STAY ON TOPIC!!! - Second was the actual arrival. When we got there, the manager Rene was ALSO a bit standoff-ish. She never apologized for Saige's behavior and gave us this vibe that we didn't belong. For instance, when I offered to work out a deal with them that would accommodate them for an additional day's stay, instead of her doing her job and looking into this immediately, she said "let's just reschedule and reevaluate this conversation towards the end of your stay." WOW, REALLY?!?! However wait.........it gets even WORSE....!!!!!! - Third, During arrival. When we got to the suite, we noticed our request for additional items was not already in the room. When I requested those items, it was met with WOEFUL resentment from Rene!! I made the request around 5:30pm-ish......after calling multiple times....our stuff didn't come until almost 10pm!!! Again...WOW, really?!?! But wait....it gets worse..! - Fourth, during the stay. During our stay, although the room was cleaned as requested, we noticed our room only had one robe (after all of the nonsense we went through earlier....did NOT want to experience that again!!!!), the INTERNET absolutely was terrible!! It was worse than dialup internet!!!, there were BUGS EVERYWHERE....it was so bad we noticed RAID Insect Traps in the suite (I kid you not!!) and the phone reception was again GOD AWFUL and DANGEROUS!!! - Fifth the "Phone." GOD FORBID something happened to us in the suite! Oh wait, it did!!! The issues I brought up above.....we had to go to a phone ALL THE WAY to the Reception Building just to call. Several times just to get the stuff in the room, btw!!! Of course Rene was very nonchalant everytime, but seriously....There's NO PHONE in the room...?!?! Not even a landline..?! - Sixth, the food. Ok seriously....this is a Relais de Chateaux establishment, right?! So the guest service was already terrible, the food is THIS BAD as well?!?! During breakfast, our food was so salty we had to THROW AWAY after ONE BITE!!! Lunch was just as bad because the cheese was outdated! My spouse LITERALLY got sick from the grilled cheese. DESPICABLE. However, the worse of the trip is yet to come..... - Seventh, the departure. When I brought up the bug issue, the front desk had the SHEER AUDACITY to say to us,"...we recognise Northwoods Wisconsin is not for everyone." Ok........let's pause for a moment here....what does that even mean?! Are you REALLY saying to your guests that they don't belong there?!?? As a minority, I found that not only out of line, but EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL and DISCRIMINATORY!!! Who says that to a guest?! I mentioned that this was supposed to be a Relais de Chateaux and EVERYONE should feel welcomed!!!! We could put up with a lot, but that's where, after everything that preceded, it was time to leave. We requested an early departure (which they told us to do prior to our saying, btw) and got out of there. Ok this had GOT to be THE WORSE RESORT EVER!!!! I wouldn't even call this a resort.....let alone a Relais de Chateaux establishment!!! We URGE you all, please STAY AWAY FROM THIS RESORT!!! NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!!! Between the poor attitudes, customer service, poor food, even poorer internet + phone reception and (speaking of reception) and ABSOLUTELY BIASED and BIGOTED language, Canoe Bay is NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!!! Save the $2000+ for an ACTUAL luxury resort.

This place now holds…read morea very special place in our hearts as it truly was a luxurious, peaceful, nature-immersive experience! We stayed for two nights in one of the cozy Escape Tiny Houses and loved it! The screen porch was the perfect place to relax, enjoy a cup of coffee, read a book and be surrounded by nature in pure comfort and without the bugs ;). Everything exceeded our expectations including the magical, organic garden full of huge, beautiful blooms and vegetables used for the culinary, top-notch meals created and offered on-site! We did 1 dinner at The Inn and 2 meal services delivered to our room (1 breakfast, 1 dinner). It is such a cool concept and feels luxurious to have these fresh meals delivered directly to your cabin at the allotted times. Be sure to order and reserve your meals ahead of time! It's an experience you won't want to miss! The service was amazing as they made everything so easy for us. I loved that we could just text to make arrangements! We also enjoyed in-room massages, where Gentry Massage therapists come to you! It's easier if you contact ahead of time as they need to arrange schedules on their end. We went for a lovely canoe adventure one morning and a short hike for another. It felt like we were in a dream! Everything looks ethereal which added to the relaxation. I can't say enough good things about this place. You have to experience it for yourself! Thank you for the most delightful, special and memorable experience Canoe Bay! We can't wait to come back!

The Heritage Court is the sort of…read morejust-off-the-highway motel you were amazingly lucky to happen upon in the days before Motel 6 and Super 8. The family who run the place are friendly and eager to make your stay a pleasant one. This is one reason I give four stars for a property which otherwise would rate three. The rooms have cable TV (basic: CNN and TBS, but no premium channels), and a ceiling fan. There is central heat, but no air-conditioning that I could see. My bathroom had a shower stall but no tub. Towels about like Motel 6, except in addition to the normal white ones, I found a burgundy colored washcloth and face towel. A sign in the bathroom read: "Burgundy Towels for -Cosmetic removal -Extra soil. Thank you." Standard motel soaps; no shampoo. My room was small, with a double bed and a twin daybed. I had enough room, and a couple would do OK. I can't quite see it working for three unless they take turns stepping out or relaxing in bed while others move about. My room was not wheelchair accessible: this is an older property (likely pre-ADA grandfathered). On balance, I felt that the price I paid was a good value for what I got. The essentials covered, here is what wins the fourth star: As I said, the innkeepers are friendly and welcoming. They've taken some time and thought to create a cheerful décor that goes a long way toward making a small room feel cozy rather than cramped. They'll give you good advice on where to eat and where to find things. The office is in a beautiful historic 1891 Victorian house (the rest of which is the family's home). While many roadside inns provide chintzy please-give-us-free-advertising postcards, in my room at the Heritage Court I found postcards with beautiful pen-and-ink renderings of the motel and the historic house. Classy. If you need basic, reasonably-priced accommodation that is a bit friendlier and has more personality than a national chain, the Heritage Court Motel of Thorp is the place to stay.

This was a terrific hotel with a kind, lovely staff and I couldn't have asked for a better stay…read more However, there was one small issue that presented itself. The door to my deluxe room is too heavy. In fact, I'm writing to you from my deluxe room at this very moment, because I haven't been able to open the door to properly check-out of my deluxe room at the suggested checkout time of 11am. I prefer to stay in deluxe rooms, because I'm a blues boy at heart and need the extra space to listen to my blues CDs while I'm traveling for business. Unfortunately, I've come down with the blues fever because I still can't open the very heavy door to my larger, more expensive deluxe room and I fear that my stay will be extended. Sadly, this isn't the first time my stay has been extended. I was once attending a blues concert at The Alley in Sanford, FL and witnessed a blues tragedy, which greatly affected my evening. The young gun guitar-slinger on stage was ferociously berated by the venue owner following some type of dispute after the show. I had been in the merchandise line to buy a new blues CD and was delayed by 10 minutes or so. I travel often for business and recreation.

So, while they may be fairly new, they've sort of got some really old fashioned things going on. They're still doing the whole credit card incidental hold thing and are making it really difficult to connect your devices. You don't see incidental holds so much anymore but they're still doing it here and it's laughable given there's no bar or restaurant or bistro or coffee shop or beer or wine or alcohol to buy. It's just an interest free loan for them. They also really don't want you connecting anything to your TV either. It's affixed to the wall so you can't tilt it to see it while you're at the desk nor can you easily reach any of the HDMI inputs. Of six devices, only two connected to the wifi login; usually they all do. So to make the Xbox work, had to force the login with the IP address on another device, then use that device's MAC address on the Xbox. Easy for me but most people would have given up and that's the idea; I think. No breakfast sandwiches on the weekends for whatever reason even though you'll pay more for your stay those days.
