Mostly clean but the carpet is absolutely disgusting! This is my 4 th time staying here . Shoreline Inn is older , cheaper, cleaner, better location, but always booked. So if staying here just make sure you bring your slippers and don’t expect much from the front desk staff either.

I am so disappointed in this property. If its going to cost $250 a night to stay in a small northshore town, it should be at least be clean, with functional HVAC. The wall board heater would not turn off, and I was told repeatedly there was nothing that could be done. Never even got a visit from maintenance. Also, there was a handwritten note taped to the AC that said not to leave it on or else it would freeze up. So, everytime we left for a few hours, we would return to a humid 80° room that would take 2 hours to cool down. On top of that, the carpet is covered in stains, there was a huge hole and crack in the window that just looked out to garbage on the ground. Stained ceiling tiles in the bathroom. The linens are few and scratchy. And the "breakfast" and coffee are really stretching the definition of those words. This is the worst $500 I have ever spent. Don at the counter was kind, and you could tell he did his best, but his hands were tied by terrible maintenance and staff. $250 a night is criminal for this place.

Checkin person obviously does not like his job. The rooms were very shabby and not well maintained. So run down and over-priced. Has gone downhill over the years.

Location is great. Short walking distance to all the shops and restaurants in Grand Marais. Lake Superior is about 100 yards from the back of the hotel. Room was clean. Beds comfortable. The bathroom is a bit dated and could use a remodel. But everything worked fine. Price should be about $50 less per day in my opinion, but it looks like all lodging is expensive in Grand Marais these days.

Great Hotel
Great hotel to stay at in Grand Marais! We loved that we could walk to town. Beds are extremely comfortable. Pool, hot tub, and sauna was a real treat after a long hike. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. We especially loved Don, the gentleman who checked us in. He was charming! We would definitely stay there again!

It was an older hotel, but it served its purpose for a 1 night stay. Beds were ok but pillows were flat. Room and hotel was clean. Front desk staff was friendly and polite. Continental breakfast didn't have much to offer so we passed it up. Price was a bit on the high side for the age of the hotel.
