Good, Clean & Reasonably Priced

Nice motel about 1/2 mile from town. Clean with what looked like recently re-done bathroom. Staff was professional, efficient, respectful and friendly.

Great overnighter

Nice little place with great staff and a good breakfast bar. We suggested a nightlight and grab bars be installed in the shower for safety though

Grand stay in Grand Marais

Bed was a bit hard for my taste but the pillows were wonderful. Breakfast is a bare minimum. Cereal, toast, bagels, precooked pancakes. Very good deal for the price.
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing room for a great price

We were going on vacation for the first time with our baby and the staff there were very accommodating and gave us a room that was massive and a perfect size to help us accommodate a packn' play. I have used this hotel many times and this was the best room I have had by far.

Ski weekend

Very nice location, great rate. The room was fine, staff was helpful & friendly, and extra nice to have the continental breakfast
Jonathan, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Breakfast was good & location was perfect. Room felt old & musty. Requested non smoking and room smelled of smoke. Window A/C didn’t work and only one window would open so room was hot at night, thankfully a fan helped. Front desk staff was helpful
