You get what you pay for. Quiet, comfortable bed, very basic breakfast. Room in desperate need of repair (old windows wouldn't close, cracked caulk in shower, etc).

Seem to be about 20 years overdue for a refresh. Water didn’t drain properly in the shower and on a two day stay staff did not make up the room After the first night.

A Lucky Find
Staff were efficient, friendly and helpful. Room was quiet, clean and affordable, but could use some refurbishing. Grand Marais is a popular destination, so book early.

It was cheap and affordable when everything else was double or triple in price, Fall colors up on the North Shore so people were everywhere, it needs updating but you get what you pay for. I’d come back again because it is totally affordable.

The staff is excellent. Mitchell and Danny both remembered me from my previous stay. I met Louise this time and she is very nice also. They make it feel like old home week. The room is clean and quiet. I will definitely be back.

Check in was fine. Front desk person was accommodating. Room was very dirty. Shower curtain was disgusting. Bedding may or may not have been washed. Smelled old and could detect the faint smell of cigarette smoke. I am guessing it wasn’t always a non-smoking place, especially because it’s an older building. Toilet had problems flushing. Carpet in the room looked newer but the room was not well maintained. TV was small, but there was a Roku with many options, so that was good. Doors into the building were not secure, but the room locked just fine. Lobby closes at around 8 or 9 PM, so very inconvenient in that respect. Free breakfast was minimal and pretty much all carbs. They had a Keurig-like machine, which was fine except that people had to wait in line. Lobby doubles as the breakfast area, so very small and not many places to sit. Probably the cheapest place in Grand Marais - would not return here. I guess you get what you pay for. Hotels in town and right on the lake look much nicer.

General disrepair. AC did not work. Storm door did not latch because someone had broken the sill when opened. Shower water was installed opposite so when you wanted hot water move to the cold side.
