Beautiful view of Lake Superior but the windows were old and clouded. We couldn’t see the lake. Looked like it hasn’t been updated in a long time. No air conditioning. Very steep steps. (18steps) No elevator. Tough with suitcases.

Check in isn’t until 4 pm and staff wasn’t friendly and wouldn’t let us check in even at 3:30. I didn’t have a hair dryer in the room and they never brought me one when requested. It’s an older hotel and it shows it’s age.

Don't stay here
Very basic cleanliness. The inside windowsills were very dirty, the windows were dirty, the carpet was dirty. Many things needed repair. We were there for 4 nights and were told to put our used towels in the hall if we wanted clean ones. On the second day we put our towels out at 8:30 a.m. and when we came back at 2p.m. there were no fresh towels. My husband mentioned this very civilly at the front desk where 3 women were behind the desk. He was told that they had only one cleaner. As he walked away that woman said that she hated men like that. Our expedia reservation states room rate of $119.00 per night and $59 in taxes. We were charged $159.00 per night plus $89.00 in taxes. We were told Expedia was difficult to understand and didn’t calculate all the taxes and fees

The location and patio out back are terrific. Not only can you easily walk around town, access great restaurants and sites but the view is spectacular and so relaxing. The negatives are that it is very, very worn so much of it looks dirty or is uncomfortable: carpet throughout, beds, pillows, furniture ... Bathrooms were clean, it just seemed like everything needs a major refresh. Even a little bit would go a long way.

My wife and have have been coming up to grand marias for the past 6 years for our anniversary. And we were able to find a place yo stay at the shoreline Inn. With this hotel you do not get what you pay for. I reserved a lake side king room and they over booked us. So we got switched to a road side room. The door was open when we got to our room there was not hot water there were stains in the sheets there was no ac but you got a old box fan to put in the window. The beds were from the 90’s if not older. They did switch us to a different room the next morning was a little nicer still no ac but got a fan on light work the other was burnt out. Dead flys and webs on the window sill. I don’t complain and i dont mean to sound harsh but its definitely not worth what you pay for a room at this place.

Only had good location.
Check in wasn’t great since place was Locked until 4. They insisted I had not paid so paid for stay of 3 nights. Checked VISA bill and found I did pay on March 13, 2024. Was told they changed companies and payment was lost. I would have to call VISA card and deny earlier payment. We were told there was no choices of up or down so was put on second floor at end. Husband found stairs difficult. Also it was very warm and we had no air. But had a fan. Window ledges full of bugs (I cleaned off). We never saw or heard of any maid service. We used same towels for 3 days. I could not get a paper print out of bill until morning we left. We left before office open. Continental breakfast at 7 (too late) but no one there first morning until going on 8. Location was great.

Booked our June trip back in February, even called Shoreline to verify that they had my reservation. Everything was good and confirmed. After driving 6 hours for our family vacation, we Arrived and we were told my reservation was cancelled and that they can’t control what third party apps do. Front desk said Expedia cancelled my reservation. I’m not one who likes to show strangers my emotions, but I couldn’t help it and started crying. we don’t make an abundance of money, this vacation took us a long time to save up for. This year was going to be special because we splurged and booked Shoreline so we could right in town. The staff was friendly and was able to give us accommodations for their other Inn. Sadly this inn was not by the shore and not right in town. Once I calmed down emotionally and got settled in at Aspen Inn, I checked my Expedia account. My reservation was NEVER cancelled! I had a confirmation number and everything, with an email asking how check in was!!!! I know the last minute accommodation the staff was able to find for me was an okay deal for the size of the room (family suite), but the whole reason we booked Shoreline was because it was right in town and shoreside view. The location was what was important to us, not the room size. Shoreline needs to update their systems or something because going from being extremely excited to a complete crying mess was not a highlight of our vacation. And to blame it on Expedia when it wasn’t Expedia that cancelled!?!:(

Girls trip with my BFF
When we checked in they billed me for the room, when I told them that my credit card was already billed I was informed that they changed systems and that it should have been credited back to me but they hadn’t been payed and I need to contact my credit card company. Not something I want to do on vacation. The room needs a huge renovation. We had a water view but the window was cracked and so dirty we could barely see out. It has dirty drop ceilings with water stains. We had 2 twin beds that squeaked when you moved. We each had one pillow that was hard. The TV was small. There was no AC but there was a fan in the closet with a small fridge, iron and hairdryer. There was very limited counter space in the bathroom and the sink was partly under the counter. The water pressure in the shower was ok. The best thing was the location and price.

Property was very worn down. We had to wait 15 minutes when we arrived for someone to check us in. The ceiling in our room had a broken ceiling panel because of a water leak. Along with 2 trash cans collecting water…Our tv didn’t have a remote, ask the front desk about it. She told me that the tv doesn’t work, she got a new one. Which should have been done before anyone checked in. She used the excuse of a internet change so they didn’t know that room was checked out…Only good thing about this place is the view of the lake and easy to walk to stores and restaurants.
