I booked my hotel stay in advance without knowing that they had no microwaves. Knowing so, I was able to message Damari, the hotel manager in advance and she was able to accommodate our stay and was able to put a microwave in our room. We had our children's with us so it made everything much easier for our needs. Thank you for making our trip.

It was a lovely room. With a fantastic view of the harbor. Great location and walkable to all the shops, brewery and restaurants and coffee shops. It looks like they were doing a refurbish on the rooms. The approach and hallway stairs just need a little attention as they were a bit dark and felt iffy going up to our room. The room made up for it and we had a great stay.

Great location, run down and not worth it.

Great location. However, it's a run down hotel an not worth the $200/night.

Lovely Stay Along Lake Superior

Very nice, comfortable stay with a lovely view of Lake Superior and walking distance to everything in Grand Marais. The self check-in directions were very straightforward as was checkout. It was really nice to have someone send me a text message thanking me for my stay and reminding me of the checkout time and directions. Will absolutely be back!

Great location and nice view of the lake from the room. Easy contacless check-in. However, our room smelled very musty. There was a loud dehumidifier running in our room the entire time, which was necessary fue to the high humidity in the room. The kids found empty Fireball bottles under their bed.

Lovely Location

The hotel was right next to the lake and you could walk to many local businesses. The beds were comfortable and the bedding/towels were clean. Only small details like broken trim and dust are my only complaint. I'd stay again.
