It was an overall good experience, and I enjoyed my stay. My only criticism is the bed and pillows because it seemed uncomfortable to me. But this is a great hotel and I recommend choosing the hotel if you're in superior

Just spent a Thursday-Sunday weekend at Barker's and had a fantastic time! Will definitely be re-booking when in the area, no longer staying in Duluth. The entire time in Superior was enjoyable, as were all the people we encountered.Thank you to all at Barker's Island for making our stay fun?

My partner and I make an annual trip to an event in March. The resort is more that accommodating. The staff is very friendly and the rooms are well kept with great views of the water.Nearby activities: The hotel is just minutes from downtown Superior, where there are several antique and collectable stores, bars, and restaurants.
