On lake but in poor repair. No handicap amenities, torn wallpaper in room,dirty and torn window screen taped. No fresh foods for breakfast.

It badly needed updating, fixing up, window repair, we could use an elevator, very small breakfast area, expensive for what we received, shower head was way too low.

There was black mold on the vents and fixtures,buss bars plugged into extension cords to supply electric. Room smelled like contact cement, it was from the bed spread.

A quaint hotel that felt like home right on the shoreline in Grand Marais. The staff was fantastic and accommodating. Lovely place to stay!

This property needs major updating our windows open only one of them had a screen no air conditioning stains on the carpeting no hair dryer in my room had to borrow from another guest I will definitely not stay here again until further updating

Perfectly located! Deck area right on the lake was lovely. Lakeside room - view was beautiful. Bed was comfortable. Front desk staff was very nice. Hotel quite rundown. Said please excuse mess due to recent heavy rains…appears to be longstanding issues though. Door to room doesn’t close without strong push or pull to slam into place; stained cork board ceilings; windows don’t stay open; toilet paper roll fell off wall; sink wobbles on stand; both sink and tub very slow drainage; carpet stained; hallway Supply/storage area flooded and left open for all to see for two days - no action seen to clean it up or remove supplies used in rooms; no housekeeper came to our room during our stay. All and all, it was not a bad hotel - it just could use some tender loving care and deserves it.

You get what you pay for. It was pretty average, the front desk staff seemed a little unprofessional. The views were amazing, you are right next to the beach! The TV didn't work, and make sure you use the box fan in the closet because the AC doesn't work either. There were cob webs all around the bathroom, along with a few spiders. Bed was comfortable though

Basic , clean but comfortable. Excellent views of the lake from the room. Did not have air-conditioning, but it usually cools down in the night so it wasn't a problem. The property and common areas are nice

The staff was very nice. The location is great. The continental breakfast was good. The hotel itself is very run down. There is no air conditioning and the room was unbearably hot. The room had a stale, dingy odor. Unfortunately I would not stay here again unless they did some major renovations.

Best location on the shoreline! Cheapest priced in the area . Wonderful staff !!

Lots of blemishes in the hallways, windows were very dirty on the outside which is a shame with the lake view, windows were hard to open, bathroom door does not close, shortage of electrical outlets.

The outside deck and location was the best. The room behind the bed was very dirty. They need to update .

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!

Beautiful view of the Lake Superior but the accommodations are a bit tired.

Our room faced the lake which was awesome

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.

The staff was very nice. Overall pretty clean. The building and rooms are very dated. Location is great. Lakeside rooms view artists point but our large picture window in our king bed room was totally clouded in the window glass with broken seals.

property is run-down and not updated. There were plastic bins in hallways to catch leaking ceilings. Door locks were poorly installed; carpeting is stained and old; the windows in the room lacked screens and were dirty; curtains were stained and barely functional

Our room was filthy and never lean on the posts off the patio as they are very loose and one could easliy fall over if you were putting any real weight on them. Also no staff anywhere from 7 to 9 p.m. until morning.

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.

The patio was great for early morning coffee or an evening drink. Beautiful view of the lake. Our room could use some updating but it was clean and the staff was very nice.

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!

Needs to be completely updated. Rooms dirty and very rundown. Staff pleasant…..just not worth the money.

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.

location,location,location

Views of the lake are incredible! Service was great. Hotel is old and dated, no AC, fan in the window, flys in the hotel room. Toilet kept running. Needs a major revamp including new windows so the lake views are even better.

Unbeatable view. Perfect lake effect climate to escape summer heat.

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.

Location and patio. Reasonably priced plus amenities. Excellent value.

Staff was very helpful.

Overall property was needing alot of repair. No frig, no coffee maker Nice location on the water
