Hotel is in a great location with great views of the lake. Right in town so walkable to shops and restaurants and harbor. Hotel is old (1950’s) and is in disrepair. Buckets in hallway to catch rainwater from leaking roof. Room doors are loose from the hinges and need to be lifted to close them.

We felt the biggest asset to this hotel was the outside patio facing Lake Superior. unfortunately, we never sat out there because it was generally unkept and lots of bird droppings. The windows in our room were also so full of bird droppings, so disgusting we were reluctant to open our drapes.

There is no air-conditioning. This was fine as it cooled off in the evenings while we were there. Hopefully it does for you as well. Very friendly Staff. No issues at all. Its not up to date. Its perfect! Maybe a bit over priced. Worlds greatest doughnuts right next door. 😋

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.

Great location,that’s it. It was an old property, not kept up. Our faucet in the bathroom was loose, floors weren’t clean. Ceiling in hallway falling in…. It’s lakefront but forget that.. the picture showing the lakefront patio must have been 20 years old. It was disgusting! Seagull poop everywhere, dirty and all the lounge chair cushions should have been replaced 10 years ago. Do yourself a favor, spend a little more money and stay elsewhere.

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.
