I had a wonderful experience at the Shoreline Inn! The location in downtown Grand Marais right on the water was lovely and convenient to shops, restaurants, and a bookstore! Staff members Monica and Carmen were so helpful. I look forward to staying here again in the future! Thank you.

Nice to find a lower price than other hotels and to be right on Lake Superior. It’s an older building with leaks and some issues. But the bed was comfortable, and it helps to have a fridge and microwave available.

Staff were nice, and the location was excellent. Great water views. Easy walk to everything in Grand Marais. However, carpeting was too old to look clean, there were two wet towels from previous guests hanging on the back of the bathroom door. Towels were frayed. Found mouldy bread in the breakfast area, where both coffee carafes had orange handles marked "not decaf." Again, nice staff, but the place needs a re-do.

The staff was nice, and location is great. The building needs a lot of work. Our bathroom sink was clogged the whole time despite several efforts to fix. There were buckets in the hallway to catch the water from the leaking roof. Looks like general maintenance has been neglected. Liked that it was dog friendly.

Was fine for a night stay, but the property, room and amenities feel old. Breakfast was somewhat limited and felt it could have started earlier. Staff was friendly, but this place needs some TLC.

The windows to see the lake view was clouded over. The room was dirty. There is no A/C, they said the sea breeze cools down the room. That is not true, because there was only one small window that had a screen. Also, if people have a bon fire outside the window you can't have the window open. The person checking us in was helpful and the bed was comfortable.

I haven't stayed at this property for probably 13 years. It was sad to see how its been "let go". Literally the same bedspreads, and faded posters on the walls. The tub had no mat, very slippery, had to stand on a washcloth. The carpet was in poor condition, torn wall paper. Our door had a huge gap on the top, and the extra lock on the inside was broken. The refrigerator control was broken. It was overall fairly clean, and the staff were wonderful. The location is the best, and we were on the lake side. Our windows did open, and you could see out of them. ( other reviews said you couldn't do either)This little hotel could be a gem, sad to see it like this. We still had a great time, so I could overlook these issues. But they really need to do repairs.
