Passed by here for a night in May and stayed on the recommendation of a friend. The property: A charismatic late 19th century wooden style repro building, replacing the original which burned down. 65 bedrooms, half facing the sea (the marina, in reality) and half inland. The hotel is not grand, but feels unusually "homey" as soon as you walk... More

Been to Ashland 5 times in last 1-1/2 years. Second time here. This is my favorite place to stay followed by Inn & Bait Shop. Clean, elegant appearance, rooms very comfortable. Views spectacular. Location can't be beat. Right on Lakeshore walking path. Centrally located for easy walk to great restaurants. Very close to Northland College. Staff is very friendly &... More

Thank you for your review. We couldn't be happier that you have not only stayed with us many times, but that you have had the chance to enjoy our numerous amenities. We love being right in the center of downtown Ashland, almost as much as being steps away from Lake Superior. The waterfront trail, easily accessed off our back deck,... More

After a day of cross-country skiing we checked into the Chequamegon. When we drove up it looked like something in a snow globe for it had been snowing all day! The lobby is beautifully decorated like an old victorian hotel. Our room was totally updated but had a vintage look to it. It was clean and felt new. We decided... More

There are better options there. The pillows are like towels, the rooms need to be cleaned professionally, elevators are the slowest in the northern hemisphere. The good, lots of tv channels. Rooms have great views of the lake. Rooms have a microfridge. The breakfast is a joke, but the onsite restaurant is very good (one of the few places to... More

Was here for 2 nights over Thanksgiving. Had stayed at 3 other places in Ashland. This was first time here. Main areas are very nice. Room was spacious, clean, beautiful view. Restaurant/bar on lower level was good. Only disappointment was that it wasn't open at all on Thanksgiving day as it would have been nice place to watch Packer game.... More

My wife and I stayed here for a romantic weekend and we loved the place. It is very close to Lake Superior, has a bar/grill over looking the water and marina, has old world charm and is very welcoming to guests. We would certainly stay there again. It is a bit pricy but it is worth the extra money More

Hotel looked very inviting from the outside, once I saw the room I was very disappointed. The room was crowded and outdated, definitely not worth the price. The breakfast was less than impressive, and hot tub was out of order. I could have stayed at a nearby motel for the same quality and half the price. Will not be coming... More

We loved this hotel. The rooms were clean and updated. The location is great for walking around in Ashland. The lobby and common areas are older styled which gives it charm. It's a nice change from a standard style hotel. Complimentary breakfast was ok. Great views of lake superior. More

Stayed at the Chequamegon Hotel thinking that it was as Grand as its exterior. Not so. Hairs found in room. Bar not open until the time we were advised it would be...the staff was closing the bar just as we arrived; opening was non-negotiable...not even for a beer...which is just plain stupid from a business perspective. Breakfast was unattended and... More
