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.

We felt the biggest asset to this hotel was the outside patio facing Lake Superior. unfortunately, we never sat out there because it was generally unkept and lots of bird droppings. The windows in our room were also so full of bird droppings, so disgusting we were reluctant to open our drapes.

The staff was nice, and location is great. The building needs a lot of work. Our bathroom sink was clogged the whole time despite several efforts to fix. There were buckets in the hallway to catch the water from the leaking roof. Looks like general maintenance has been neglected. Liked that it was dog friendly.

The property is very outdated. The room would have had a great view of the lake if it had new or clean windows. One window we couldn't open because there was no screen. The main window was so old it had condensation and really couldn't look out. There was cobwebs and spiders in the window. The one chair in the room looked like it had been there for 20 years. The carpet was stained. We were there for 4 nights and had no housekeeping whatsoever. The place had an amazing patio but again the outside furniture looked like it has been there 20 years. On the patio it would have been nice to have some type of heat. Either a firepit or propane heater. The front desk staff was very nice. Adequate continental breakfast and hot coffee.

The windows to see the lake view was clouded over. The room was dirty. There is no A/C, they said the sea breeze cools down the room. That is not true, because there was only one small window that had a screen. Also, if people have a bon fire outside the window you can't have the window open. The person checking us in was helpful and the bed was comfortable.
