We will be back for a longer stay!
On our way up the Gunflint for a BWCA trip and needed a nice spot for one night. This was exactly what our group of three was looking for. Excellent access to Grand Marais and no fuss. Only thing that could have made the night better would have been different pillows.

We had the junior suite, which was a last minute booking. Contacted phone number and gave code for door immediately, was super nice and helpful. Room was great, no issues. Enjoyed our stay. I was a little worried given the reviews, but at least this suite was great for our stay and expectations.

Nice room in an excellent location
I was in Grand Marais for two night with my kids. We really enjoyed the location of this place so we could easily stop in multiple times throughout the day. The self check in is so quick and easy! Room was very nice too.

Great location
The self check in was so easy and convenient. Many places to eat right within the surrounding couple blocks, and could listen to some live music from a neighboring establishment while sitting outside the room reading a book and enjoying the harbor view. I travel a lot and that was one of the better mattress and pillow combos I’ve had this year; tip of the cap!

We appreciated the proximity to the harbor, restaurants and stores. The bed was very comfortable. Would have liked to have the TV in the same room as the couch and really wished there was a microwave. Would stay here again.

Best location
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.

Old and tired motel.
Old and tired motel. Carpets were stained. Window didn't open. Old paneling and drop acoustic ceiling. Ceiling fan with no blades. The cable tv did not work but we did get help right away.

Clean and serviceable downtown option.
This hotel delivered exactly what we need. Clean room and beds and right downtown Grand Marais. You can park the car and walk wherever you need to go. We are familiar with the remote check in hotel so it was easy for use. This is a basic hotel. No frills. No ice. It provided a very serviceble room that was clean. If you need more, it's probably not for you.

Easy self check-in. Right in the middle of everything (shipping/dinning). And right across the road from the water. The room had a large window overlooking the water and you could open it to catch the breeze. Definitely will be going back!
