Maintenance
The room maintenance was terrible with a roof leak that is pealing back the popcorn ceiling. The sink faucet was almost impossible to operate because the handle was tight. The continental breakfast was almost nonexistent.

The room was clean supplied with hygiene products. However, the mattress was not comfortable and I didn’t get rest. The room was not supplied with a coffeemaker and coffee. The free continental breakfast was little to be desired. I felt for the price of the room there should have been more variety.

THe price was too much for only an average stay. The tv remote and offerings were difficult to figure out. The furniture could sure use some updating.

Older motel. Torn carpet, dated decor. But it’s clean and quiet and well located. Room was not serviced nor were linens refreshed during 2-night stay - maybe that’s the new normal…

Grand Marais trip to see our Son
Older Hotel but in good condition, room was clean and did not have any smells. Beds were okay but not super comfy. In good spot on edge of town, and our room was quiet (we were on the back of the Lodge) even though the main busy road through town runs right in front of Lodge.
Two negatives, hot tub was down the entire time we were there.
Last day the breakfast did not have milk available, and when the front desk was told it took about 45 minuites to get it restocked, I think they had to wait for the grocery store to open up to get more (IE: not very good inventory management).

Not so great.
The carpet at the entry and stairs was dirty and stained, the hairdryer in our room did not work and the grumpy guy at the desk took me to another room to remove the hairdryer in that room and install it in our room. They did not have a spare at the front desk.

Checkin person obviously does not like his job. The rooms were very shabby and not well maintained. So run down and over-priced. Has gone downhill over the years.
