The room was clean, staff were very nice, helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was very good . Parking is adequate. We like that it’s right on the lakefront and in town and stores are walkable. Everyone we met/talked to were friendly and gave useful information as it’s our first time in this area, wish we could stay more than a night!

Beds creaked. Beds kind of uncomfortable. Not their fault but seagulls were incredibly loud and kept us up at times. Seemed out dated style wise. Was central so that was great. Had onsite parking which was great.

The staff is the best. Evidently weather over the winter damaged a lot of things and the rooms I’ve stayed in aren’t what I’ve been used to when spending $200+/night. However, the staff and the location are the best. If you’re like me, you’re not spending your time in your room anyway when you visit Grand Marais.

It was comfortable enough. It looked like some improvements were happening. It is somewhat dated which is not a problem but our room really smelled like cat urine. Location was fantastic. It could use a sprucing up but everyone was nice and the views were amazing.

We were greeted warmly and was happy to find out that the management changed their policy regarding allowing bikes into the hotel rooms (albeit they have to be clean - totally get it). Hopefully they replace the picture window in room 211 to be able actually have a lake view. It was a great stay. Thank you very much! I will stay again.
