The Shoreline Inn

Views were beautiful but couldn't see out the filthy windows. The window in my room was broken broken. The bed was old and extremely uncomfortable. The toilet seat was broken and the carpet was extremely grubby. Back patio area was disgusting.. Furniture was broken and thrown around and seagull poop was everywhere. Too bad because location was excellent and staff very nice. Also, the continental breakfast was a joke. Bagels were so old that we couldn't cut it open. I think they just put stuff out from the grocery store. I will definitely NOT return.

This is the best deal you are going to get in Grand Marais. The views of Lake Superior are beautiful and the private patio for guests offers unparalleled access to the lake. You are in the heart of Grand Marais and literally moments away from all of the shops, restaurants, and other points of interest. I was surprised by some of the other reviews, because this room was clean, spacious, and everything in the room worked perfectly. While the hotel certainly reflects a pre-2000 era, it's clean, safe, and functional. Any other hotel offering the same views and proximity to the lake will cost considerably more than here. I am fairly certain if we booked another hotel we'd pay almost twice as much. The staff were friendly and we did not encounter any rude or poor service. We look forward to booking again in the future when we visit Grand Marais.

Heat in the room was off and they didn't bother to tell if that was the case. Also they had a space heater which we Plugged In which then proceeded to blow out the circuit breaker about 2 hours in the middle of the night. Which caused the shut off of power to a certain little unit that I happened to be using. The breakfast nook was small and inadequate and the place was generally a little bit run down not what I expected.

The view was fabulous and the location puts you in downtown within walking distance of most of the food and shops. That alone would make me stay again! The staff was also friendly and helpful. The hotel in general is clean but outdated and in need of maintenance which is the reason I am giving the four stars. Otherwise the wifi worked, the beds we had were comfortable, and there were no smells noticed as mentioned in other reviews. Be aware that there is no ac, so the room can get pretty warm. Also make sure to open the closet to find your fridge! The picture attached was the view from our first floor room.
