Good place to stay after a Boundary Waters trip. Rooms and beds are fine for the price, service was good, and it's in walking distance to downtown. There's some noise from main street traffic, but every motel in town will have that. Great value and will stay again.

Heaters broke while I was ice fishing, and they found me a room last minute. The best customer service! I'd give 6 stars if they'd let me.
