Karla, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I was very nervous after reading the reviews but we had a great stay. It's nothing fancy but the staff was great, the room had a beautiful view and it served its purpose. This location alone is worth the price we paid, which you're not going to find cheaper in Grand Marais. I mean, you're next door to World's Greatest Doughnuts! Maybe we just got lucky with our specific room but I think alot of the people in these reviews expected a 5 Star resort and just love to complain, but you get what you pay for! I would stay again!

10/10 Exceptional

This is an amazing property for the price. The place does need some updates. But the location is amazing and the staff was super helpful. If you are the kind of person that is out and exploring all day and need a central home base I absolutely recommend.
Alicia, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Reasonably Priced

Friendly staff, decent prices especially for the area and time of year. No good protein choices for breakfast - challenging for a diabetic (but im mostly prepared for that). Enjoyed the back patio and views. We will keep this hotel in mind for future trips.

Lucas, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The location is fantastic. Prices are reasonable. The building needs tremendous amount of maintenance and upkeep, which is not being done after numerous stays at this property.? Don’t understand why they don’t fix basic things here!?

4/10 Fair

Outdated and in rough condition

Needs major updates. Ceiling in hallway was leaking and carpet was wet and stained badly. No elevator. One accessible plug in bedroom. Great location and patio overlooking the lake. The whole place seems like it should be closed down fo a major update.
Monica, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Location was great. The room was not clean. Ceiling in our room was old office style panels with one old fluorescent light bulb working, and water stains. Spider webs in windows. Fan had not been cleaned in sometime.
