Just fine, but expensive (esp off season)

We stayed as a family in the double room suite, which is a nice set up for a family with two teenagers, but still quite pricey for an off-season basic motel room, IMO. We appeared to be about the only people in the motel! Which was actually great for my kids in the large pool, hottub and sauna, which is really why we were there. The only problem was the sauna took forever to heat up (and it didn't get too hot) and same with the hot tub, which was not much more than a lukewarm bathtub, but again for my teenagers to play all afternoon with no one else there on a late March day, it was great. There was also a "personal hot tub" in the listing for the room. We weren't expecting much and didn't know what that meant, but it was a bathtub in the room, standard issue, so maybe we missed something. Overall the location is why we stayed, so we could walk to all the shops around GM and be central and cozy for a few days on the North Shore, so it was perfect for our very non-posh needs. Breakfast was super basic. A bagel and some coffee, but again, fine. Would have liked to see a lot less styrofoam cups. Didn't know you could still buy those things. Would make it more eco-friendly. Friendly checkin and otherwise no real interaction with staff.

Lots of hot water for the jacuzzi and the tub. Superb view of the harbor and town. Close to restaurants and shopping. An ocean-like lake adds to the charm of the town.

Only a couple things to complain about- the vending machines weren’t working or full and parking was definitely not easy when you go during prime snowmobile season! Overall it was a beautiful place. Met lots of new people and the staff were great and willing to work with us when we had to leave early. We would definitely stay here again probably when it’s a little warmer!

Clean and cozy. Cozy because it was near or below zero and the room temp was comfortable. Not to mention waking to a view of lake superior is tough to beat. The light breakfest is simple. So don't expect eggs and bacon.

Pros: Inexpensive, conveniently in Grand Marais, separate recycle bin (yay!), excellent staff member (Jasmine!), very large and deep hot tub (but maybe full of local slednecks). Cons: Water not very hot. Mattresses waaaaay too soft. Dated decor (not a problem for me but some may have issues), hot tub / pool closes too early (9pm) and opens too late (9pm) to be useful for someone like me.

The motel is somewhat dated but overall is clean with comfortable beds. The continental breakfast could be improved---even just offering hard boiled eggs would be nice.

This place was nice, and we had a fine stay overall. But I really didn’t appreciate how they had Fox News on in the lobby with the sound on, while I was having breakfast. And there was even a sticker on the tv that said “don’t touch the TV.” It didn’t even let me change the channel. I come on vacation to relax, not to hear about politics and Trump. Especially ridiculous that they don’t even let you change it.
