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.

We appreciated the proximity to the harbor, restaurants and stores. The bed was very comfortable. Would have liked to have the TV in the same room as the couch and really wished there was a microwave. Would stay here again.

Location was great. Right across the street from Grand Marais harbor. Surrounded by shops and restaurants and a brewery. Room was clean and the self check-in was easy. Very reasonable price compared to many of the other nearby choices.
View of the harbor and lighthouse.

Easy self check-in. Right in the middle of everything (shipping/dinning). And right across the road from the water. The room had a large window overlooking the water and you could open it to catch the breeze. Definitely will be going back!
