Great hot water to go with a jacuzzi and a bath tub with a view of Lake Superior. Part of downtown Grand Marais.

The room was very cozy. We do wish the plumbing system was updated a bit. The sink and toilet had immense water pressure, but the shower was very much lacking water pressure. Whenever you stepped into the shower, it sounded like you were going to fall through the floor with all of the cracking. Staff was wonderful. Parking was great.

Our stay was good, we were just there for 1 night, we were a little disappointed that the hot tub was "closed for maintenance" and when we asked staff when it would be available the front desk staff had no idea it was closed- was going to call and find out, but we never heard anything - on the positive side it had a Sauna that we didn't know about so that was a plus :)

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The front desk person was smiling and helpful and the beds were firm and comfortable. The hot tub was not working and we were looking forward to using it. The facility was in dire need of an upgrade of carpet, doors and trim. The TV did not have any channels, and we didn't bring our Netflx password with us. The shower was the worse and it barely trickled out the water. This Lodge was not worth the $183 price we paid for. It was well past peak leaf viewing season on top of it.

Couldn’t get our handicap assessable room due to a snafu. So my husband had to go up and the stairs. We did not use any amenities because he couldn’t go downstairs over and over. The clerk did try to shuffle but couldn’t make it happen, a little peckish about it. Not as snotty as the maintenance/housekeeping guy who repeatedly slammed the doors at 7am. When we opened the door to see what was going on he laughed, said sorry for the noise and then slammed more doors. What’s the point of a do not disturb sign if every door around you gets slammed multiple times.
