My wife and loved this place, will definitely go back. Perfect for a quick getaway. Great room, although the bed was a little soft for my 200lb size. Awesome front desk dude, Mexican restaurant next door was really good. Parking around back was just enough for the hotel size.

We stayed one night in unit #5 which had a fireplace and balcony. The room was smaller than I had expected but had it did have a special charm. The bed was comfortable but most of all I enjoyed the sheets. There is Mexican restaurant next door with a friendly staff and excellent food. We would like to thank Abdul for all his help. Looking forward to our next stay in the summer.

historic, but need new laundry!
First, the place is older, and cute, loved the look, loved the fireplace in the room, wished I had real wood, but I can give them a pass on that. the bed was overly soft, hard to find any support in it. The worst: the sheets &towels reeked of chemical smells, maybe laundry related? ? They looked clean but the smell was so strong I coughed and sneezed all night. My friend, in another room, had the same experience. They need someone to teach them how to clean laundry without "treating It" or adding softeners, or whatever it was, it was awful and disrupted my sleep! Very easy fix, and the place would be great, but I would not go back unless I knew that was done.

Good but no limited TV service
Hello, The place is nice and has a great view. Our remotes were not working and we called for help. A nice man came up twice but the situation was not fully resolved. We were given a few remotes, one to turn on the tv and one to change the channels. One worked on the living room tv but the other TV screen said "no input". every time we tried to use it Otherwise, a nice place, no heat in the bathroom and the shower doesn't get very hot. The fireplace was nice though.

No question about email requests still desk Clark honor them after checked out housekeeping found all over the room dog hair as per policy management legal cleaning charges is 150 but guest did not get any charges so customer/ guest are always right based we do respect our guest no matter what.Appreciated.Management

Great place to stay. Staff was absolutely fantastic. Mexican food and supermarket is walking distance away. So is the lake. Only down side was the neighbors to the adjacent room were playing there music extremely loud. I think it was to drown out the passionate evenings they had EVERY night. Other than that, the stay was great. We drove to Lake Arrowhead and had waffles..

On approach loved the location, the proximity to the lake and town. Inside the room observed the Inn has seen better days. There is an attempt at lavish furnishings, but in this time of disease and CA bugs, some things need to go. Fireplace is lovely. View from balcony is lovely, but chairs are both sagged in the middle, so stood to enjoy. Sought a Bible in the evening, found the drawer it was in had been wet at some time, soiling the book, the cover was stuck to the drawer. There was information under a large plastic sticker that had dried brown liquid under it. Comfortable bed. Questionable cleanliness of shower. Turned on the water and waited, waited, an obscene amount of time. CA is a drought state, so gave up. When I called the front desk to let them know was told to let it run one to two minutes. I did, and then some. Hopefully, someone will buy this quaint piece of history and begin revival.

While this may be the “best you can get in this area,” we were less than enamored. Very noisy - we heard people next door, above us and in hallway late into the evening. Better draperies or black out curtains would help with bright light shining in from the restaurant next door. The ceiling fan could use a cleaning. No one was at the front desk in the evening around 8 pm, nor when we tried to check out the following morning. Only positive is lots of hot water in the shower!

Location! location! location! Just across the street from Lake Gregory and a lovely walking trail around the lake. Easy walk to town and several restaurants and shops. Hiking trail to Heart Rock a short drive away. The North Shore Inn was an ideal get away. It isn’t fancy but was perfect for our needs.

Well it was small but we knew that. I booked the cheapest room. I wish they had a fridge or offered ice. My wife and I have mobility issues and there was no getting around the stairs. other rooms had no stairs and opened up to the upper parking lot. Shower had great water pressure and the water was hot fast. Friendly mexican resturant next door and food was great.

North Shore Inn Review
Location is great in the sense that it is right across the street from the entrance to Lake Gregory so easy access to hiking and boating. The manager of the inn was very nice and helpful. It's right next to a very busy road, so kind of loud at night. The rooms were clean, but very dated, dingy, and small. I don't know that there is a nicer place right on the lake, but I don't think I would stay there again- too cramped and didn't feel special for a weekend getaway.

The Room is very close to down town and right across from lake. The room was clean and nice, but the bathroom had an awful mildew type of smell to it. The room had a real nice patio, out looking the lake, but the slider door was extremely hard to open and close. Overall nice stay but the property could use some maintenance and paint.
