Enjoyable site, we stayed two nights. Granddaughter liked the fitness room. Breakfast area and options were good. We used it as a jumping off point to go to Grand Portage. Fun downtown and access to the lake. Great miniature golf course.

The property is in a great location for the town, access to the trails and Gunfight lakes. We were forts given a lower level room with a view of a utility truck. We asked for a different room and moved to the main level where we had a partial view of the lake.

Great location, easy walk to shopping, the harbor. The decor is stuck in the 1980's, but it was clean. The only thing I didn't like was the electrical outlets were all under a counter or piece of furniture. Not convenient for plugging in our electronics. Not even a USB outlet. People today travel with electronics and would recommend this hotel update their access.

Great Location

This is a great spot walking distance from so many things in Grand Marais. It's not fancy, but is well taken care of and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The price is also excellent compared to many other places in town. We love that we can walk to Gunflint Tavern and shopping.

Easy and short walking distance to town. Large number of noisy kids in pool, who's adult supervisors, did not calm down their 5 or more kids, so that others could use the pool and hot tub, enjoyably. Breakfast offerings were poor: cold cereal, bagels, 5-inch premade cold pancakes, muffins, bread, just regular coffee, juice, milk, small selection of tea, and small apples and oranges. Room had chair with torn fabric on its seat, and widow inside molding was peeling. Outside hotel doors were not set up to be locked at night.

Furniture in the room was very uncomfortable and/or in disrepair. No elevator. Lacking keycard security on property doors. Deck area had weeds growing up through the boards. For the price we expected a better facility. Sad, because the staff was excellent!!
