We stayed at the Shoreliner many years ago. It was wonderful to see how well maintained it was. A lovely location on Lake Superior, with a large deck over looking the Lake. Very restful and peaceful. You will love it.

Positive: It is right on Lake Superior in downtown Grand Marais. It has a great deck on the lake. Very peaceful. Negative: there was no AC, so windows open on 2nd floor which would have been okay, but there was a way for people to get on the adjacent roof, and I couldn't rest thinking about that possibility, so closed the windows. One window had no latch. There were no "safety" latches on the windows that would let them be partially open. There was trash behind both nightstands, hair in the sink drain catch, hair on the bathroom door.

The room was clean, staff were very nice, helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was very good . Parking is adequate. We like that it’s right on the lakefront and in town and stores are walkable. Everyone we met/talked to were friendly and gave useful information as it’s our first time in this area, wish we could stay more than a night!

This place is kinda old and rundown, but the location is AMAZING. The rooms are pretty beat up and desperately need a refresh (My lakeview room had no AC, and only one functioning window that was splattered with a little seagull poo.) But you know what? Didn't care! I spent most of my time walking around (almost everything fun in town is walking distance from the hotel) or hanging out on the hotel deck overlooking Superior - which is fantastic. The breakfast and other amenities are pretty basic, but functional, and the staff is friendly and helpful.

It was comfortable enough. It looked like some improvements were happening. It is somewhat dated which is not a problem but our room really smelled like cat urine. Location was fantastic. It could use a sprucing up but everyone was nice and the views were amazing.

We were greeted warmly and was happy to find out that the management changed their policy regarding allowing bikes into the hotel rooms (albeit they have to be clean - totally get it). Hopefully they replace the picture window in room 211 to be able actually have a lake view. It was a great stay. Thank you very much! I will stay again.

Clean but very outdated. Leaky bathtub faucet and the bathtub and sink did not drain quick enough so filled with water. Overhead lights did not turn on.
