Large clean rooms, lovely view of the lake from the 3rd floor. Easy parking. If this lodge would go one step further for comfort, then it would be worth the $200+ per night—like Adding extra blankets and either small coffee machines and/or micro-wave ovens in the room with to-go coffee cups, etc. It was a basic room missing little touches to bring comfort to a traveler.

Our room and the property were clean and quiet. Check-in went smoothly and any issues we had were handled promptly and courteously.. There was a nice continental breakfast and coffee/tea available all day as well as a coffee pot in the room. No microwave, but a refrigerator was in the room. The only drawback for us was the stairs, only because we are older and not quite as agile as we once were. Being within walking distance of shops and restaurants was a big benefit and being able to open our window and hear the lake was great. Oh- for those of us who find TVs smarter than us, finding the Sunday night football game was a struggle. TV instructions would be helpful as there are no “regular” channels but many, many apps that might or might not have what you are looking for.

The room was comfortable and the lodge is conveniently located in the heart of Grand Marais. The guest laundry was free to use, although it could have been cleaner and the machines weren't in great shape. Continental breakfast is included.

The hotel was clean and we really were just looking for a place to stay for two nights. The outside of the property looked like a jungle and we joked about the jungle look. However it was clean and close to downtown area. Very quiet. Had a nice pool and whirlpool. We may stay again
