This hotel is so nice, our room was cozy and everything was clean. There was no deposit which was so nice, the stairs can be a pain. The bed!!!! So comfortable!!!! It is softer and you sink in a little but we loved it. The room had coffee (4 packets of coffee that makes 4 cups of coffee each), water and COOKIES were provided for free!!! There was a fridge and microwave in the room, the ac unit is a little small but it works. The location is close to the lake and near by shops. We will definitely be back!!!

No frills, but our room had a cozy fireplace and soft bed and that's all we wanted. It does have limited parking but we managed.

I had an amazing experience staying at The North Shore Inn. The room was spotless and had a fresh, clean laundry scent that made it feel instantly comfortable. The view of the lake from my private balcony was absolutely beautiful and added so much peace to the stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to help and make recommendations. There’s a restaurant on-site, free and safe parking, and a grocery store conveniently located right across the street—everything you need is right there. Overall, I truly enjoyed my stay and would absolutely come back again. If you're looking for a relaxing, clean, and well-managed place to stay near the lake, this is it.

Me and my wife were able to book a room with short notice on Labor Day!! Abdul was super nice and extremely helpful. The rooms were very nice with a homey feel and the views are amazing! Directly across from Lake Gregory with anything you need in walking distance. We love it so much we booked an extra night. Would highly recommend. We will be back!

You get alot for the $90 i spent on this hotel. I was shown to the room and shown around the room which also had a balcony. I visited in July 2025 so was difficult to picture it under feet of snow. A very comfortable bed was in the room which was an OK size. I could park my car virtually outside the room which was very convenient. There are diners bars and a supermarket within walking distance.
