Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Disappointed in the overall condition of this hotel. Rugs were dirty in our room, bed mattress was like 20 years old. Our room window was broken with bugs flying inside it. breakfast was nonexistent. Muffins and cold pancakes are not acceptable. Needed hot food. Eggs/sausage etc. not really a fun experience for our time up there.

Dissappointing

Dated furnishings in the rooms, worn/stained carpet seemed like a different place from the updated lobby. Our hair dryer didn't work, told front desk, but it didn't get fixed. Small sign, which we didn't see regarding having to request to have the room cleaned. I appreciate the ecological perspective but wish this would've been verbally stated when we checked in. Breakfast was predominantly carbs.

The lobby and hallways and breakfast area have no air conditioning, it was stifling and felt like 80-85 degrees. Hard to eat when it’s that hot, also no elevator.

The pool and hot tub were nice. But they didn’t have any clean pool towels. We had to turn on the sauna and wait awhile for it to get hot. Our toilet would keep running until we jiggled the handle enough for it to stop. The beds were very hard. It’s a decent hotel and we’ve been staying here for years since I grew up in Grand Marais. It just needs to be updated.
