The motel is somewhat dated but overall is clean with comfortable beds. The continental breakfast could be improved---even just offering hard boiled eggs would be nice.

This place was nice, and we had a fine stay overall. But I really didn’t appreciate how they had Fox News on in the lobby with the sound on, while I was having breakfast. And there was even a sticker on the tv that said “don’t touch the TV.” It didn’t even let me change the channel. I come on vacation to relax, not to hear about politics and Trump. Especially ridiculous that they don’t even let you change it.

Less than average stay

Rented a room with Jacuzzi tub for the jets to be faulty and work for 10 minutes and randomly turning on in the middle of the night. Fridge didn't work until we kajoled the plugs around. Front desk was less than helpful and a little off putting. The pool was conveniently closed while we were there. The continental breakfast was ok.

The manager was unreal. I believe his name is Trey. He deserves a raise. So friendly and we will go back. Great breakfast. So clean and our room was fantastic I recommend this place if you have a family. 2 rooms in one and a pool. Thank you for everything.

This was a quiet facility near Lake Superior. We enjoyed having a large room with 3 beds for 6 travelers. We also were able to park 2 trucks pulling boats. The desk clerk went home at 10PM and a person who had reserved a room came in after that.

Always a great stay in Grand Marais MN! But this particular time the hot tub was out of order (no biggie), and the older guy behind the desk complained both times when I asked him for more pool towels and the day after for one extra bath towel for our 3-night stay.

We needed a place to stay and this place had the only opening. While it worked, it is definitely due for an update. The carpet in our room was definitely stained, old and pulling away from the corners, (we always kept something on our feet). The room had 2 windows that were supposed to open. One had a lock on it b/c the screen was missing. The other could open, but having a huge arachnophobia; we dare not do so b/c the screen didn’t fit appropriately and there were so many spiders and webs around the window. Um, spray water from a house to dispatch these arachnids or call the Orkin folks to come out.

We arrived to check in and were given keys to a room either still occupied or just not cleaned. So we stood at front desk for 15 minutes while the guy texted someone else to figure it out. No apology or any words from the bearded front desk fella. The hot tub wasn’t hot at all. Which was a main thing we were looking forward to after being outdoors in the cold all day. They had hot chocolate packets out, but couldn’t give a styrofoam cup because he said they get locked up at 10am. If your looking for 1 or 2 star hotel, this is your place.

It was advertised that the pool room is open from 10am to 10pm, however, we were told by the front desk that it would be closing at 9pm so that he could go home. He was quite grumpy. The whirlpool was closed entirely. The wifi kept disconnecting from the TV as to be unusable. The coffee in the morning was not good. There wasn't any local information about hiking trails in the area. The room itself was clean, quiet, and comfortable and there were plenty of towels, pillows, and blankets.

Our stay was nice. Property is nice, but inconvenient. Breakfast items too limited, no cold water available once hotel desk is out at 9 pm. Parking somewhat limited. Otherwise a good hotel, nice suite, outdated bed comforters but does not smell.
