Tolerable. The hot tub was broken and had been broken for quite some time apparently; the pool was also out of service. The breakfast was all high calorie , carb, sugar and fat options. But the staff was very nice and the location good. Bedding was worn and the blankets and curtains had small holes.

The property is convenient, safe, clean outdoors. Hall is dark and carpets filthy, the mattresses and pillows were very uncomfortable. We left a day early, but paid for it anyway, that is how uncomfortable it was.

Great location near the lake and shops and dining. The property seemed a little outdated and no coffee/tea in room. No room service. The pool was closed one of the mornings. Over $200/night seems steep.

Grand Marais trip to see our Son
Older Hotel but in good condition, room was clean and did not have any smells. Beds were okay but not super comfy. In good spot on edge of town, and our room was quiet (we were on the back of the Lodge) even though the main busy road through town runs right in front of Lodge. Two negatives, hot tub was down the entire time we were there. Last day the breakfast did not have milk available, and when the front desk was told it took about 45 minuites to get it restocked, I think they had to wait for the grocery store to open up to get more (IE: not very good inventory management).

My mom and I stayed Thursday night (9/12/24). We’re running behind schedule and the associate running the dust that night called to make sure we were still coming, which was a nice gesture.

Not so great.
The carpet at the entry and stairs was dirty and stained, the hairdryer in our room did not work and the grumpy guy at the desk took me to another room to remove the hairdryer in that room and install it in our room. They did not have a spare at the front desk.

Liked: Cleanliness
It’s an old fairly well maintained property. We were in top floor and our ceiling has evidence of water damage. I could not pull the sink faucet to the on position. My husband could manage it with difficulty. My main complaint about my experience is the gruff man on check in. He remained seated (he may have needed to) wore a very dirty white Stetson so the customer saw more of that than anything. He was the least welcoming host I have ever encountered. The hotel in general could use an overall update In contrast the morning staff greeted me, smiled and was very congenial. They said they would take care of faucet today.

It was quiet, staff very helpful. But there wasn't a microwave or tea and coffee maker. Many stains on the rug. Beds were great.

Mostly clean but the carpet is absolutely disgusting! This is my 4 th time staying here . Shoreline Inn is older , cheaper, cleaner, better location, but always booked. So if staying here just make sure you bring your slippers and don’t expect much from the front desk staff either.
