The property is in terrible condition. The building is very old and run down. We saw exposed wires, torn outside carpets and pealng paint. There has been some limited work done in the room to decorate but amenities are very limited. The tile grout in the bathroom has black, possibly mold spots. The tub has a yellow ring. There is no signage to direct you to your room. We tried to find an alternate hotel but nothing was available so we reluctantly stayed the night. Room rate was way over priced given the quality of the product.

Lovely modernized motel

Very central location right across from the water. Plenty of parking. The room was very comfortable, clean and well-appointed. The owners were very nice and helpful. They seem to be updating everything. Bathroom was all brand new. They upgraded us to a two king suite so we could be close to our friends. The room was extremely nice! I would suggest requesting a room on the water side though. The rooms in the back off of the parking lot or less appealing while they still looked extremely updated and clean the entrance is not as nice.

Old and tired motel. Carpets were stained. Window didn't open. Old paneling and drop acoustic ceiling. Ceiling fan with no blades. The cable tv did not work but we did get help right away.

The bed was great but the ceiling fan was broken, the hot water took forever to warm, the screen door did’t latch and the door frame in the bathroom had a missing piece of wood. The room definitely needed an upgrade.

Location was great, bed was made and room was clean. But for $200 a night , chips in the walls, chalking around the floor,tub , shower and around the tile flooring wasnt done or finished well. Rust on the baseboard heater. I left a motel that was smaller and $120 cheaper thats was redone by far better. I left that one due to needing a refrigerator. Was it good enough to stay there yes but not for $200 a night.

We will be back for a longer stay!

On our way up the Gunflint for a BWCA trip and needed a nice spot for one night. This was exactly what our group of three was looking for. Excellent access to Grand Marais and no fuss. Only thing that could have made the night better would have been different pillows.

Room was clean and even though hotel is older, the room had been updated and was nice. Very happy with our stay. Only one slight issue, the water pressure for the shower was pretty weak but it still got the job done! Location was fabulous though and I would stay here again.
