I enjoy a place with character: more than just a set of beds in a room that’s a clone on a hallway of more clones. Do you recognize the style of the room numbers? They’re old post office box fronts. We had one like this in Sister Bay Wisconsin before the Post Office upgraded the the newfangled boxes that opened with a key.

Must love a hotel that has a deck opening onto the Great Lakes – or at least onto a bay that comes out on Lake Superior. It was windy, cool, and totally gorgeous.
