The staff was so helpful and the location is perfect! You could walk to anywhere in town. It is a old building so my expectations were not super high but if you go in with that mindset you will be happy. The only 2 things I would say would be that they need blackout shades on the windows especially the ones facing the East side, and then the ice machine ran out of ice so quickly that it couldn't keep up with demand from all the guests (maybe a bigger machine with more capacity). We would stay here again!

This motel is old and run down. $185.00 Is way too much for a $79.00 room. The only reason they stay booked is because every other place is full. We crossed it off our list.

The room was clean, staff were very nice, helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was very good . Parking is adequate. We like that it’s right on the lakefront and in town and stores are walkable. Everyone we met/talked to were friendly and gave useful information as it’s our first time in this area, wish we could stay more than a night!

The Shoreline Inn needs a full renovation! It looks like it was last decorated in 1982! The fan in the bathroom was SUPER loud, and the lights in the room and halls were terrible. The staff was nice, but we will NOT be back unless they do a full remodel!

The staff is the best. Evidently weather over the winter damaged a lot of things and the rooms I’ve stayed in aren’t what I’ve been used to when spending $200+/night. However, the staff and the location are the best. If you’re like me, you’re not spending your time in your room anyway when you visit Grand Marais.

It was comfortable enough. It looked like some improvements were happening. It is somewhat dated which is not a problem but our room really smelled like cat urine. Location was fantastic. It could use a sprucing up but everyone was nice and the views were amazing.
