great location and very nice staff
Terry, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Reasonably Priced

Friendly staff, decent prices especially for the area and time of year. No good protein choices for breakfast - challenging for a diabetic (but im mostly prepared for that). Enjoyed the back patio and views. We will keep this hotel in mind for future trips.

10/10 Exceptional

Cozy, comfy, great service!!

I can not say enough positive things about this hotel! Monica and all of the staff were very accommodating! Yes, it’s older. It’s actually the oldest hotel in Grand Marais. If you are looking for a cozy place to rest your head after exploring the city or hiking the beautiful trails this is the place! Comfy bed, great views of the lake! (Make sure to request a lake facing room) Right dead center of the town, very walkable location!
Mari, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

6/10 Good

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.

Georgette, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is quite run down. The hallways needed a bucket to catch rain water. The carpets are stained. The rooms are cooled with open windows, but one of our two windows labeled a bug screen.

Great location.
Juan Carlos, 2-night trip

My go to place, it’s funky and outdated, but I love that about this place. It just has a 1960-79’s vibe.

Debra, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Some misses and some passes.

The people were very friendly and helpful. The building itself is older and is need of repair (roof leak) and general upkeep. Needs a good carpet cleaning. I was disappointed to find that there isn't an elevator, but it was only one flight of stairs. It would of been more of an issue if I was alone. There was a musty smell when first entering the room, and I was bummed to find the room had no AC, but they supplied a box fan for the window though one window did not have a screen. The fan was necessary to keep comfortable. Also, disappointed the room lacked a coffee maker and/or microwave. But liked that the room fridge was lager than usual; which we need. The bed was very comfortable and clean.

A quaint hotel that felt like home right on the shoreline in Grand Marais. The staff was fantastic and accommodating. Lovely place to stay!
