The hotel is a little rundown, and the carpets are quite dirty, but my bed, and bedding were impeccably clean! The bathroom and towels were also spotless! This hotel has a great layout, and the views are unmatched. The staff was so sweet. The property has no AC, and needs some overall TLC, but it was great overall. I will stay there again!

The building is old. The tiles are cracked and there’s no frame for the door. The table and chairs in the room were unable to use as they were very wobbly. This is the only hotel I’ve been too that did not have a hairdryer available. When we checked in our bedroom quilt had a large brown stain on the pillow. Grossed us out.

This is an old hotel that has been in the area forever. Can’t get any closer to the lake beautiful view. The staff was amazing just had to wait a bit as there is only one lady cleaning rooms and checking in. But when I finally did find her she was so nice and helpful. I will definitely stay here again.

We had room for 3 nights. No room/towels or service of any kind. Floors and room were dirty. Then there was a envelope in our room for tips.. really! Since we used our same towels for 3 days, dried them with a box fan. And made our own beds. Guess what no tips.

We could not get the TV to work after lots of help from the staff. They were very apologetic and comped us an extra night to make it right. It’s a cool, old-school place that is trying to uphold a long tradition in Grand Marais. I will go back there again!

The location is the best. The patio out to the lake is a plus. It is dated and does need a good deep cleaning. The carpet in our room was pretty stained and I let them know that at the desk. They said they were going to clean it, waiting for us to check out. Wish the breakfast that is included, had something to eat for people that don’t want all carbs. Staff was very friendly. Very quiet as I believe it was concrete built and not just out of wood that is noisier and creaky. Would stay there again because of the price and location. We just don’t spend a lot of time in our rooms when we travel.

Really not worth the price. I should’ve looked at reviews before booking and really regret staying here. No hot water, not exactly clean, super dated, weird smell, woke up to a bug crawling on me. I wouldn’t have minded the state of things if I’d payed $50, but this place was way over priced. Great location though! It’s a shame they’ve let this property get to this state.

This is a prime piece of property that has deteriorated and is on the verge of a shut-down or fire. The view was sensational and with the hot humid weather and only fans to move the air around, it was uncomfortable at best. The bed's springs were so old that I thought it was a water bed when I climbed in the first night. In charging my phone in the bathroom the plug got very hot. The shower was an exercise in water temp adjustment that was a timely start to the experience. Staff was not engaged unless necessary and somewhat grumpy at best. Carpet smelled of smoke though it was touted as non smoking. What an asset it could be but it will take a lot and perhaps a teardown at best. Owners live in two different states far away and may be waiting for a fire or a teardown offer. Sad for such a beautiful view and location that is prime. Charged for two nights on my charge even as we paid the bill for two nights when we checked in. Yet to untangle that. Sad to see, challenging to experience as so many reasonable accommodations we experienced on this trip were such incredible values for all the important things and excellent staffing.
