Had the best sleep in months!

We had the best sleep we have had in months! We chose the king room with hot tub in the room. They even had bath salts next to the tub! The room was dated (I was worried about the other reviews I read). But the bed, cleanliness and quietness outweighed everything. Isn't that what you want? Oh, the price was $100 less than any other hotel in the area (in August).

Breakfast wasn't with alot of options,no drinks in rooms and vending machine out of order. This was inconvenient as we had to run up to the gas station. There was a plus for handicap accommodations withmoving from the 3rd to the 2nd floor.

Loved this place!

We loved staying here. The staff are all helpful and friendly. Even if the decor is outdated as some reviews mention, the rooms and property are immaculate! We’ve never stayed anywhere that every square inch of the room and bathroom were this clean. This hotel is in a great location, within walking distance to downtown Grand Marais. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you!!

The air didn't cool the room. No TV! Front desk person was sneezing all over the desk, no smile, unfriendly, obviously there only for a paycheck. Cost WAY to much for that hotel in that area. Awful experience.

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.
