The hotel is quite run down. The hallways needed a bucket to catch rain water. The carpets are stained. The rooms are cooled with open windows, but one of our two windows labeled a bug screen.

I enjoyed the ladies at the front desk. Roo was clean, bed was great. But breakfast was all carbs and not so good. The building is falling apart. In our room we had patio furniture. Very uncomfortable! Not a place to relax. Windows had no screens to keep out the bugs. Tv was difficult. No local channels and had to have someone come put it on her netflex or we couldnt have watched tv. If you are just looking to sleep for the night and move on, it will work for you. Bed was nice

Agree with previous reviews, excessive heat in the rooms, no coffee maker, no available electrical outlets, poor water pressure, and strange door lock system. The price is right, though, and I would stay here again.

If you don’t mind stained carpet and dated furniture, no air conditioning and a very packaged food breakfast, the location and terrace were great for visiting Grand Marais

The facility was very average. Mattress had grooves. Room so hot we slept with the window open (in winter) even after turning down the heat. No one to ask for an extra pillow after 7pm. Shelf above sink so low I hit my head on it. On the plus side, clerk was very polite when we checked in. The view out our window was gorgeous. Would not go back.
