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

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.

property is run-down and not updated. There were plastic bins in hallways to catch leaking ceilings. Door locks were poorly installed; carpeting is stained and old; the windows in the room lacked screens and were dirty; curtains were stained and barely functional

The staff was very nice. Overall pretty clean. The building and rooms are very dated. Location is great. Lakeside rooms view artists point but our large picture window in our king bed room was totally clouded in the window glass with broken seals.

The patio was great for early morning coffee or an evening drink. Beautiful view of the lake. Our room could use some updating but it was clean and the staff was very nice.

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.

The location is the best. The patio out to the lake is a plus. It is dated and does need a good deep cleaning. The carpet in our room was pretty stained and I let them know that at the desk. They said they were going to clean it, waiting for us to check out. Wish the breakfast that is included, had something to eat for people that don’t want all carbs. Staff was very friendly. Very quiet as I believe it was concrete built and not just out of wood that is noisier and creaky. Would stay there again because of the price and location. We just don’t spend a lot of time in our rooms when we travel.

Great views, dated hotel
Views of the lake are incredible! Service was great. Hotel is old and dated, no AC, fan in the window, flys in the hotel room. Toilet kept running. Needs a major revamp including new windows so the lake views are even better.

Really not worth the price. I should’ve looked at reviews before booking and really regret staying here. No hot water, not exactly clean, super dated, weird smell, woke up to a bug crawling on me. I wouldn’t have minded the state of things if I’d payed $50, but this place was way over priced. Great location though! It’s a shame they’ve let this property get to this state.
