Cold dirty terrible
Front desk was closed at 615pm when we showed up. It said it was open until 9pm. Hotels.com or the hotel double booked didn't get the room asked for never was contacted. Heat didn't heat above 60 degrees. Bathroom floor was damp and slimy. Was one of the nastiest rooms ive ever stayed in. But the bed did seem clean. Was told no refund available.

We have stayed here over the past four years and always have a good experience here. The breakfasts are always good and filling. Very easy to move round to the lake and other places.

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

This is a great location, but it is an old property. Best price in area but pay more and stay somewhere newer at at the very least kept up better

The views and location are great. The furniture and mattresses and pillows are worn out and shabby, including common areas.
A plus: filtered water and parking.

I was hesitant about booking because of other reviews. Because we were there in the fall we didn't need air conditioning so no idea if that works. Carpet in room was not the cleanest. Beds and bathroom were clean and everything else was clean. I will stay there again. Loved the view.

Location, location, location!
This place is a great location, right in town and on the lake. It could use some TLC but worked great for our visit.
