Tolerable. The hot tub was broken and had been broken for quite some time apparently; the pool was also out of service. The breakfast was all high calorie , carb, sugar and fat options. But the staff was very nice and the location good. Bedding was worn and the blankets and curtains had small holes.

The property is convenient, safe, clean outdoors. Hall is dark and carpets filthy, the mattresses and pillows were very uncomfortable. We left a day early, but paid for it anyway, that is how uncomfortable it was.

Great location near the lake and shops and dining. The property seemed a little outdated and no coffee/tea in room. No room service. The pool was closed one of the mornings. Over $200/night seems steep.

Grand Marais trip to see our Son

Older Hotel but in good condition, room was clean and did not have any smells. Beds were okay but not super comfy. In good spot on edge of town, and our room was quiet (we were on the back of the Lodge) even though the main busy road through town runs right in front of Lodge. Two negatives, hot tub was down the entire time we were there. Last day the breakfast did not have milk available, and when the front desk was told it took about 45 minuites to get it restocked, I think they had to wait for the grocery store to open up to get more (IE: not very good inventory management).

My mom and I stayed Thursday night (9/12/24). We’re running behind schedule and the associate running the dust that night called to make sure we were still coming, which was a nice gesture.

Not so great.

The carpet at the entry and stairs was dirty and stained, the hairdryer in our room did not work and the grumpy guy at the desk took me to another room to remove the hairdryer in that room and install it in our room. They did not have a spare at the front desk.

Liked: Cleanliness

It’s an old fairly well maintained property. We were in top floor and our ceiling has evidence of water damage. I could not pull the sink faucet to the on position. My husband could manage it with difficulty. My main complaint about my experience is the gruff man on check in. He remained seated (he may have needed to) wore a very dirty white Stetson so the customer saw more of that than anything. He was the least welcoming host I have ever encountered. The hotel in general could use an overall update In contrast the morning staff greeted me, smiled and was very congenial. They said they would take care of faucet today.

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.
