Rooms are nice and clean. Sauna is advertised, but has been broken for several months. They have no idea when owners are thinking of repairing. Outside trash bins overflowing with trash. We were there for 3 nights and 4 days. Trash was never dealt with.

We reserved with Aspen inn. Due to out of heat, they transferred us to Shoreline Inn nearby.. The transition was smooth. Excellent job done by Aspen Inn! The Shoreline Inn is a pleasant place to stay. So the ratings above are for the Shoreline Inn.

The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. I read a lot of reviews on here about rooms being outdated or loose light sockets. Really? I've stayed in hundreds of hotels and I know there are no 4 star hotels in Grand Marais. Know your area and people research where your going. Keep your expectations reasonable. Expedia is full of whiny premadonnas.

Office was only open one hour, 4-5PM. Room was clean but walls were thin. This motel has seen better days and the places seriously lacking in maintenance. Staff was friendly but again having only one hour to actually talk to someone was a downtick. They advertise free breakfast but it was very minimal. You will have to go somewhere else for a decent breakfast and coffee.

The air in the room was heavy with an air freshener which was intoxicating. The fridge froze my cream and eggs. The switches on different appliances were broken. There were rugs which should no longer be used because they are unclean.

Breakfast was bagels and cereal. Very limited options. No ice machine and spa and sauna were closed. Also our tv didn’t work in our room. Place needs a serious overhaul to be worth what they charge.

A Lucky Find

Staff were efficient, friendly and helpful. Room was quiet, clean and affordable, but could use some refurbishing. Grand Marais is a popular destination, so book early.
