Great location right on Lake Superior, right in the middle of the main part of the city. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Enjoyed playing games in the common area and using the hot tub / pool facilities (agreement with nearby hotel). Breakfast was good and very convenient.

The Shoreline is an old hotel that could use some updating, but for the money you won’t do better. It was safe, located in a Great spot, close to all the shopping and food. Parking at peak season could be a problem, if you are willing to walk a half block there is a very large parking lot available. The staff will do anything they can for you. Slow down, take a deep breath, how bad can it be, you are in Grand Marais!

We were looking for an inexpensive place to stay for one night on a road trip. We have stayed at this hotel before and know its a old hotel. You cannot beat the location. We made the reservation on Expedia.com and I think it was a surprise to the young lady at the front desk. I don't think she was aware of the new reservation even though it was in their system. Fortunate for for us they had a lakeside room available that she upgraded us to. The room was appropriate for the price but you cannot beat the view. Disappointed there wasn't any coffee available in the morning. We checked back 3 times and the same young lady kept talking with another young girl at the desk for over 1/2 hr and never made more coffee.
