Clean and serviceable downtown option.

This hotel delivered exactly what we need. Clean room and beds and right downtown Grand Marais. You can park the car and walk wherever you need to go. We are familiar with the remote check in hotel so it was easy for use. This is a basic hotel. No frills. No ice. It provided a very serviceble room that was clean. If you need more, it's probably not for you.

I have been to Grand Marais a handful of times over the past 20 years. Its beauty is never disappointing, the people are always so friendly, and I love the relaxing vibes. We have stayed in a few different hotels and cabins over the years. This time I picked the Harbor Inn so my mother could be close to the beautiful Lake Superior shoreline and right by town around the shops. It was the perfect location just on the edge of town but walking distances to all the shops and restaurants. The room was clean, the staff was amazing and responded if we reached out for anything, the view of the Harbor is absolutely beautiful. There was a little bit of a lake or musty smell but that comes with staying along water. It is an older hotel but they are working on on updating their rooms. We will definitely be back for another stay in the future.

Nice room in an excellent location

I was in Grand Marais for two night with my kids. We really enjoyed the location of this place so we could easily stop in multiple times throughout the day. The self check in is so quick and easy! Room was very nice too.

The room was more than adequate for a short overnight stay. Facing the harbor was a plus! At first we were somewhat concerned about the sidewalk traffic, but it turned out to be a non-issue.

Great location

The self check in was so easy and convenient. Many places to eat right within the surrounding couple blocks, and could listen to some live music from a neighboring establishment while sitting outside the room reading a book and enjoying the harbor view. I travel a lot and that was one of the better mattress and pillow combos I’ve had this year; tip of the cap!

this place was nice and clean but overpriced for the cost. Very small and hard ti move around in. No place to get i e. No microwave. The bathroom was ridiculously small with holes in the tile area near floor. Cheaply upgraded. It would be my last choice next time
