Top Grand Marais Hotel Reviews

The Shoreline Inn

8/10 Good

"Nice older hotel/motel right on the shore of Lake Superior - nothing fancy. My main complaint was that there's not an elevator to the second floor. If I return, I'll make sure to book a 1st floor room."

Harbor Inn Self Check-in Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean comfortable beds and courteous staff with a beautiful view"

Mökki: Dovetail Log Cabin in the Heart of Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The Dovetail Mokki cottage was a wonderful experience! It's compact, yet feels warm and comfortable. The heat was on when we arrived and kept us warm throughout the weekend - almost too warm as the weather cooperated better than forecasted. Extremely clean and included all the amenities we needed. The bed is a bit on the hard side and could stand a softer topper as we did ache a bit in the morning, but hiking amongst the fall colors made any pains go away quickly."

Saganaga Lodge

8/10 Good

"Loved the convenience and close access to the gunflint trail as well as the beautiful spot on the lake. Room was clean and comfortable. Community kitchen was a little inconvenient, but the other guests using it were flexible and friendly."

The Superior Bunkhouse, a Cozy 16 X 24 Cabin near Grand Marais MN and Hovland MN

10/10 Excellent

"The bunkhouse was great! Looked exactly like the pictures, was very clean and comfortable, great lighting, and beautiful star gazing at night! My partner and I had a wonderful weekend stay and would definitely come back."

Aspen Inn

8/10 Good

"Clean, basic stay. Staff was friendly but failed to mention the spa and sauna were out of order when we checked it, that was a bummer to find out. A bit dated but it's clean and the continental breakfast was a bonus. Would stay again."

Thomsonite Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Charming, comfortable and quiet place to stay in a central location on the North Shore. Very close to hiking and restaurant choices."

Feather Nest Inn

8/10 Good

"Biggest drawback was the price - at least 40% higher than it should be, if not more. Very disappointed in what we experienced for what we paid. The “vision” of the the place and the intent is higher than the execution. Maybe if was better whenever it first opened. The online photos are way more appealing and attractive than the actual unit. The decor — quaint and rustic - it’s fine. There was a huge (definitely not needed) portable A/C unit right inside the door, along with a portable oil heater, taking up a lot of space. Light switch by the sofa inoperative — cord has to be plugged and unplugged to turn on. Kitchen was good, applicants ok, dishes/utensils adequate, but the pretty matching table settings are only in the pictures. Items like the ground coffee should to be in original sealed containers, not in refillable ones Bathroom was not good—tub looked really grungy, with stained and mildewed grout and caulking. Definitely not one I’d like to take a bubble bath in. We had texted earlier in the afternoon the day we checked in (“text us anytime! we’re available) and never received any response. Overall what I would expect if priced at a “budget rate,” not at the highest of what we paid over an entire week and a half trip."

Pet-Friendly Studio on Croftville Road

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful studio/in-law apartment near the lake. It was great watching the sunrise over the lake and hearing the waves against the shore. Everything we needed for a relaxing stay was there, including towels to wipe down puppy feet! A large collection of fun and unique games and books were available. Location was perfectly close to Grand Marais without being too crowded, traveling to nearby trails was a breeze, but being off the main highway was better (no traffic noise!).Lynn was very communicative and helpful throughout the trip. Definitely hoping to book again for a future trip North!"
