this place was nice and clean but overpriced for the cost. Very small and hard ti move around in. No place to get i e. No microwave. The bathroom was ridiculously small with holes in the tile area near floor. Cheaply upgraded. It would be my last choice next time
The view of the harbor was beautiful. The room was simple and cozy.

We enjoyed celebrating my mother’s 85th birthday for 2 nights and we could not have had a better experience! The location and the cleanliness was to die for!!! Only complaint is when you get your key make sure you pull up on the handle! Thanks again

Clean room with comfortable beds but it was a bit dated and the bathroom was cramped. Way too high of price for this room. It was right downtown Grand Marais so I’m guessing that accounts for the high price.
It's in a great location and super convenient. It's not a fancy place, but it was a peaceful spot and I slept wonderfully! The view of the Grand Marias harbor can't be beat!
Great location right downtown. Walking distance from restaurants, bars, and shops. The room was a little older but that’s to be expected for an older building. The beds were comfy and there was a fridge to keep food and drinks cold.

Beautiful spot right off the lake. Newer bed and furniture. Room needs updating. Over all nice stay.
Property gave easy access to dining and shopping in Grand Marais and Lake Superior shoreline. Room as clean and orderly. Very convenient for exploring the town.
