The view and the friendly staff are the only positives about this place. The room was an absolute dump, cob webs in the ceilings, stains in the carpet, and ripped carpet. Also, the thermostat was broken and it was about 90 degrees when we entered for the first time. Thankfully the windows functioned well enough to open them and let cool air come in to cool the room down because adjusting the thermostat did nothing. I also overheard other customers complaining of the same issue in their room. If all you care about is a beautiful view (it was the one thing that made not want to get a different hotel) and friendly staff, then go here. If you like a room that doesn't look like it hadn't been fixed in 30 years, then don't go here. I won't be returning.

The view is outstanding and the staff is nice, but that's about all I can say about this property. The room was boiling and the thermostat didn't work and the heat adjustment on the shower didn't work either. The bed was old and soft and the furnishings in the room were very run down. I couldn't recommend.

Agree with previous reviews, excessive heat in the rooms, no coffee maker, no available electrical outlets, poor water pressure, and strange door lock system. The price is right, though, and I would stay here again.

I was hesitant about booking because of other reviews. Because we were there in the fall we didn't need air conditioning so no idea if that works. Carpet in room was not the cleanest. Beds and bathroom were clean and everything else was clean. I will stay there again. Loved the view.

This hotel serviced our needs excellently. You can’t beat the location next to the lake and businesses. We enjoyed the morning sunrises with easy access to the deck. We could have enjoyed them from the room but chose the deck. The deck is also a great place to meet and chit chat with others who are staying. We had a bonfire one night. This is not a fancy hotel and things are outdated - but we aren’t fancy people. No complaints on cleanliness. Breakfast served its purpose.

Not worth the money
This hotel need a complete renovation. The only positive things were the location and free parking. Also had WiFi. Our room didn’t even have soap in the room. The room was super hot and couldn’t adjust the temperature! Had to use a fan in the window. The view would have been spectacular but the outside of the windows were filthy.

We have stayed at other hotels by the Grand Marais Hotel Company, but this was our first stay at the Shoreline Inn. IMHO, this the best value for pet friendly lodging in town. It is no frills as far as the furnishings, tvs etc. But the location is spectacular and I really appreciate they allow pets. Everything was clean and the room was spacious. What we spent for two nights was easily less than one night at another property was that would not allow pets. The patio and beach are amazing. And the staff was very friendly and helpful. We are already planning our next stay.

The property is in disrepair… lake view window was opaque. No air conditioning, just baseboard heat units. Just a box fan. Staff friendly, but powerless. Only good feature is back deck area with chairs for lakeside view. Fire place but of course, no wood. Shower head terrific for someone 4’ tall. Breakfast was coffee, toast and packaged cereal. Only one key per room even for two guests.

The Shoreline needs massive capital improvements. My room that lacked a screen. The sink stopper was broken. The TV does not get standard network programming only streaming services. That’s a problem. Lack of convenient and numerous outlets was also an issue. I only had 1 chair. rather than 2 which is customary. The bath tub lacked a tub mat. I could have fallen quite easily had I not brought shower sandals.And during my showers the water would run cold for no apparent reason. I will definitely not be staying there again.
