Really not worth the price. I should’ve looked at reviews before booking and really regret staying here. No hot water, not exactly clean, super dated, weird smell, woke up to a bug crawling on me. I wouldn’t have minded the state of things if I’d payed $50, but this place was way over priced. Great location though! It’s a shame they’ve let this property get to this state.

We got upgraded to a lake View room because the cleaning staff accidentally forgot to clean our originally assigned room so that was pretty nice. The property is very close to dining options within walking distance and shops for souvenirs, etc.

This is a prime piece of property that has deteriorated and is on the verge of a shut-down or fire. The view was sensational and with the hot humid weather and only fans to move the air around, it was uncomfortable at best. The bed's springs were so old that I thought it was a water bed when I climbed in the first night. In charging my phone in the bathroom the plug got very hot. The shower was an exercise in water temp adjustment that was a timely start to the experience. Staff was not engaged unless necessary and somewhat grumpy at best. Carpet smelled of smoke though it was touted as non smoking. What an asset it could be but it will take a lot and perhaps a teardown at best. Owners live in two different states far away and may be waiting for a fire or a teardown offer. Sad for such a beautiful view and location that is prime. Charged for two nights on my charge even as we paid the bill for two nights when we checked in. Yet to untangle that. Sad to see, challenging to experience as so many reasonable accommodations we experienced on this trip were such incredible values for all the important things and excellent staffing.

Worst hotel we’ve ever stayed in 1) Bug infested room 2) Bad screens & windows 3) Room was stifling/terribly hot - we couldn’t open the windows 4) Neither tub nor sink would drain properly 5) Broken thermostat 6) Dirty carpet 7) Broken toilet seat 8) Filthy shower curtain We brought these things to the attention of the hotel manager. She came up to our room and agreed that the room was terrible but never apologized. We requested a refund but she blamed Expedia and said that she couldn’t refund the money. She said that she couldn’t get a hold of Expedia for a refund. We’re requesting a FULL REFUND and recommend that you DO NOT USE SHORELINE INN for future bookings Hotel Manager said that she reached out to the owner but the owner wouldn’t do anything. We have NEVER complained about any hotels that we have booked previously through Expedia but felt that we needed to let you.

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.
