My stay was a mixed bag. On the one hand, the location was incredible, right across from the bay, which was a major plus. However, the room I got was a bit disappointing. I expected better amenities for the price. The check-in process was strange with no staff around, which made me feel a bit uneasy. Overall, the value for money didn’t really align with my expectations.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The view was amazing, but the cleanliness and condition of the room were below my expectations. The comfort level of the bed was decent, and the location was fantastic. However, there are definitely areas that need improvement, especially regarding the bathroom and overall maintenance of the facility.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was fantastic with beautiful harbor views, but the room itself left much to be desired. The bed was comfortable, and I enjoyed the cozy feel, but cleanliness and maintenance were definitely lacking. With a steep price tag, I expected better amenities and upkeep.

I stayed here for a fall color trip, and while the location was excellent and the room was clean, there were a few issues that couldn't be ignored. The bathroom could use some attention, especially with the grout, and I was surprised to find the lack of a smoke detector in my room. The hot water was also a bit tricky, taking time to kick in, but the comfort of the king bed made for a decent stay overall.

I was excited about staying here due to its location, which was absolutely perfect for exploring Grand Marais. However, the room didn’t live up to my expectations as it was outdated and not as represented on the website. The check-in process was quite unconventional and made me feel a bit uneasy about security, especially since my room was not in great shape. Overall, it has potential, but some improvements are definitely necessary.
