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.

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!

The property has a wonderful view of the harbor. In a very good location for walkablity. The beds were a bit to soft for my liking, but overall nice. I would like to see a microwave in the room.
