Old and tired motel.

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.

Clean and serviceable downtown option.

This hotel delivered exactly what we need. Clean room and beds and right downtown Grand Marais. You can park the car and walk wherever you need to go. We are familiar with the remote check in hotel so it was easy for use. This is a basic hotel. No frills. No ice. It provided a very serviceble room that was clean. If you need more, it's probably not for you.

I have been to Grand Marais a handful of times over the past 20 years. Its beauty is never disappointing, the people are always so friendly, and I love the relaxing vibes. We have stayed in a few different hotels and cabins over the years. This time I picked the Harbor Inn so my mother could be close to the beautiful Lake Superior shoreline and right by town around the shops. It was the perfect location just on the edge of town but walking distances to all the shops and restaurants. The room was clean, the staff was amazing and responded if we reached out for anything, the view of the Harbor is absolutely beautiful. There was a little bit of a lake or musty smell but that comes with staying along water. It is an older hotel but they are working on on updating their rooms. We will definitely be back for another stay in the future.
