this place was nice and clean but overpriced for the cost. Very small and hard ti move around in. No place to get i e. No microwave. The bathroom was ridiculously small with holes in the tile area near floor. Cheaply upgraded. It would be my last choice next time

Clean room with comfortable beds but it was a bit dated and the bathroom was cramped. Way too high of price for this room. It was right downtown Grand Marais so I’m guessing that accounts for the high price.

Best location

Great location right downtown. Walking distance from restaurants, bars, and shops. The room was a little older but that’s to be expected for an older building. The beds were comfy and there was a fridge to keep food and drinks cold.
