We have stayed here multiple times over the past 15-20 years. The staff members were helpful and friendly.The Shoreline is an older hotel and has become a bit worn, but it is a good bargain for Grand Marais: comfy bed, quiet, safe, and right on the beautiful shoreline of Lake Superior.

This is an amazing property for the price. The place does need some updates. But the location is amazing and the staff was super helpful. If you are the kind of person that is out and exploring all day and need a central home base I absolutely recommend.

The location is fantastic. Prices are reasonable. The building needs tremendous amount of maintenance and upkeep, which is not being done after numerous stays at this property.? Don’t understand why they don’t fix basic things here!?

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This place is pretty run down. Besides just being dated, the bed was uncomfortable, the bathroom floor was sticky, and the door could see light through the side with the security device also being broken. Icing on the cake was the credit card fee thrown on at the end. The positive is the location is great and view out the back was great. It pretty much ends there, though.

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.
