Deck on Superior was great.
CRAIG, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cozy, comfy, great service!!

I can not say enough positive things about this hotel! Monica and all of the staff were very accommodating! Yes, it’s older. It’s actually the oldest hotel in Grand Marais. If you are looking for a cozy place to rest your head after exploring the city or hiking the beautiful trails this is the place! Comfy bed, great views of the lake! (Make sure to request a lake facing room) Right dead center of the town, very walkable location!

Margaret, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is quite run down. The hallways needed a bucket to catch rain water. The carpets are stained. The rooms are cooled with open windows, but one of our two windows labeled a bug screen.
Beth, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Some misses and some passes.

The people were very friendly and helpful. The building itself is older and is need of repair (roof leak) and general upkeep. Needs a good carpet cleaning. I was disappointed to find that there isn't an elevator, but it was only one flight of stairs. It would of been more of an issue if I was alone. There was a musty smell when first entering the room, and I was bummed to find the room had no AC, but they supplied a box fan for the window though one window did not have a screen. The fan was necessary to keep comfortable. Also, disappointed the room lacked a coffee maker and/or microwave. But liked that the room fridge was lager than usual; which we need. The bed was very comfortable and clean.

My go to place, it’s funky and outdated, but I love that about this place. It just has a 1960-79’s vibe.
Mary, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

I enjoyed the ladies at the front desk. Roo was clean, bed was great. But breakfast was all carbs and not so good. The building is falling apart. In our room we had patio furniture. Very uncomfortable! Not a place to relax. Windows had no screens to keep out the bugs. Tv was difficult. No local channels and had to have someone come put it on her netflex or we couldnt have watched tv. If you are just looking to sleep for the night and move on, it will work for you. Bed was nice

Andrew, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Agree with previous reviews, excessive heat in the rooms, no coffee maker, no available electrical outlets, poor water pressure, and strange door lock system. The price is right, though, and I would stay here again.

We have stayed here over the past four years and always have a good experience here. The breakfasts are always good and filling. Very easy to move round to the lake and other places.
