Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
I was very nervous after reading the reviews but we had a great stay. It's nothing fancy but the staff was great, the room had a beautiful view and it served its purpose. This location alone is worth the price we paid, which you're not going to find cheaper in Grand Marais. I mean, you're next door to World's Greatest Doughnuts! Maybe we just got lucky with our specific room but I think alot of the people in these reviews expected a 5 Star resort and just love to complain, but you get what you pay for! I would stay again!

Liked: Staff & service
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.

Outdated and in rough condition

Needs major updates. Ceiling in hallway was leaking and carpet was wet and stained badly. No elevator. One accessible plug in bedroom. Great location and patio overlooking the lake. The whole place seems like it should be closed down fo a major update.
