Don’t waste your money
When I arrived it was 80 in the room despite it being 40 outside. I turned the thermostat off and opened all the windows. Found a fan in the closet and went to dinner. Came back & it was 75. When i went to leave in the morning, the push button that opens the front door before the front desk opens up did not work and i had to haul my bags out the back door to the patio & around the building to my vehicle.

Not worth the money
This hotel need a complete renovation. The only positive things were the location and free parking. Also had WiFi. Our room didn’t even have soap in the room. The room was super hot and couldn’t adjust the temperature! Had to use a fan in the window. The view would have been spectacular but the outside of the windows were filthy.

2/10 Poor

The Shoreline needs massive capital improvements. My room that lacked a screen. The sink stopper was broken. The TV does not get standard network programming only streaming services. That’s a problem. Lack of convenient and numerous outlets was also an issue. I only had 1 chair. rather than 2 which is customary. The bath tub lacked a tub mat. I could have fallen quite easily had I not brought shower sandals.And during my showers the water would run cold for no apparent reason. I will definitely not be staying there again.

Basic , clean but comfortable. Excellent views of the lake from the room. Did not have air-conditioning, but it usually cools down in the night so it wasn't a problem. The property and common areas are nice

You get what you pay for. It was pretty average, the front desk staff seemed a little unprofessional. The views were amazing, you are right next to the beach! The TV didn't work, and make sure you use the box fan in the closet because the AC doesn't work either. There were cob webs all around the bathroom, along with a few spiders. Bed was comfortable though

The staff was very nice. The location is great. The continental breakfast was good. The hotel itself is very run down. There is no air conditioning and the room was unbearably hot. The room had a stale, dingy odor. Unfortunately I would not stay here again unless they did some major renovations.

The hotel is a little rundown, and the carpets are quite dirty, but my bed, and bedding were impeccably clean! The bathroom and towels were also spotless! This hotel has a great layout, and the views are unmatched. The staff was so sweet. The property has no AC, and needs some overall TLC, but it was great overall. I will stay there again!

The building is old. The tiles are cracked and there’s no frame for the door. The table and chairs in the room were unable to use as they were very wobbly. This is the only hotel I’ve been too that did not have a hairdryer available. When we checked in our bedroom quilt had a large brown stain on the pillow. Grossed us out.

This is an old hotel that has been in the area forever. Can’t get any closer to the lake beautiful view. The staff was amazing just had to wait a bit as there is only one lady cleaning rooms and checking in. But when I finally did find her she was so nice and helpful. I will definitely stay here again.

We had room for 3 nights. No room/towels or service of any kind. Floors and room were dirty. Then there was a envelope in our room for tips.. really! Since we used our same towels for 3 days, dried them with a box fan. And made our own beds. Guess what no tips.

We could not get the TV to work after lots of help from the staff. They were very apologetic and comped us an extra night to make it right. It’s a cool, old-school place that is trying to uphold a long tradition in Grand Marais. I will go back there again!

Our room was filthy and never lean on the posts off the patio as they are very loose and one could easliy fall over if you were putting any real weight on them. Also no staff anywhere from 7 to 9 p.m. until morning.
