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!

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.

The room was clean but slightly dilapidated. Our room was very hot and we opened windows to cool it down, and one of the windows wouldn’t shut. Very convenient location and friendly staff. Handy parking.

Great location right on Lake Superior, right in the middle of the main part of the city. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Enjoyed playing games in the common area and using the hot tub / pool facilities (agreement with nearby hotel). Breakfast was good and very convenient.

Very dated and in need of repairs and updates. No hot water coming from the bathroom sink faucet, faucet wouldn’t turn off, hole in carpet, gaps in the door, windows wouldn’t open, peeling wall paper, and mattress was pretty bad. Very nice front desk staff and the room was clean. Location and view were amazing but very overpriced for the condition of the room.

Just face it. The building is just old. Old windows. Old bathroom fixtures that we needed help just to get them to run. Great view and very close to the water but the window was covered with seagull poop.After tax is added it’s $200 for a 19 hour stay.
