I had a fantastic stay at Harbor Inn in Grand Marais! The location was perfect, right by the bay, and I loved the beautiful harbor view from my room. The unit I rented was recently renovated, making it very comfortable, but I did notice that the bathroom needed updating. Overall, a great experience with just a few minor issues! 🌅🛏️

I had a pleasant stay at the Harbor Inn, thanks to its fantastic location with stunning harbor views. The room was mostly comfortable, boasting new carpet and a relaxing bed. However, the bathroom was outdated and a bit off-putting, which detracted from the overall experience.

My room had brand new carpet and was quite cozy, but the bathroom was older and needed attention. The balcony offered a nice view of the lake, perfect for evening relaxation.

I had a mixed experience at the Harbor Inn. the location was great and the views were beautiful, but the overall condition of the place left much to be desired. Although the bed was comfortable, I faced some serious issues with the bathroom and room amenities that really brought down my stay.

Rooms

The room I stayed in had significant issues. the bath was dirty and the ceiling fan was missing blades. There were even holes in the walls, which was concerning.

Service

Check-in was self-service with no staff on-site. when I faced a problem with the toilet, the help line was not able to rectify the issue satisfactorily.

The location is a highlight. the views are fantastic, making it great for a scenic getaway. However, that alone doesn't justify the price.

The facilities were lacking. the slow-recharging toilet and maintenance issues were very disappointing for the price I paid.

I stayed for two nights to enjoy the fall colors and while the location was fantastic, the overall experience was pretty mixed. The room was clean and had a comfy king bed, but I was bummed about the lack of hot water and missing smoke detector.

Rooms

The room was clean with a comfortable pillow top king bed, but the bathroom needed new grout and the hot water took forever to warm up.

Service

Self check-in was odd, with my key just left in the door. There weren't any staff on-site, which felt a bit unsafe.

The hotel facilities feel dated. My room had cracked tile and a broken chain lock, and the toilet had issues flushing properly.

My stay at Harbor Inn Self Check-In Hotel was a mixed bag. The location is absolutely fantastic, right across from the bay, making it a scenic spot for relaxation. However, the room I stayed in was pretty outdated compared to what the pictures suggested. While I appreciated the convenience of self-check-in and having a mini-fridge in the room, there were some maintenance issues that definitely detracted from my overall experience.

The facilities are minimal, with no lobby or additional amenities, but the free parking and outdoor seating are nice touches.
