Fall Getaway to Grand Marais

Great value and friendly staff.
Michael, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel was close to Grand Marais and all the tourist sites and shopping. It was clean and the staff was friendly.

Everything was great

Cycling the Forest Roads

It was great home base to head out cycling on the Arrow Head. Excellent value and location.
David, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Kind of dumpy. It served as a place to spend the night but that was about it. We won't be staying there again.
Timothy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The air conditioner was filthy and the room smelled of must. The staff was nice
Matthew, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Stay was good
Arlayne, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good, Clean & Reasonably Priced

Nice motel about 1/2 mile from town. Clean with what looked like recently re-done bathroom. Staff was professional, efficient, respectful and friendly.
James B, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Restful sleep comfortable bed

King size bed was comfortable, and bathroom was newly remodeled clean. TV cable worked well. Fridge was actually cold and not noisy.
Linda, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Very reasonable but from what I’ hearing it’s gotten run down in the past several months and I would say that’s true. The building and rooms are in need of TLC and a careful eye for cleaning.
Tracy, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

This property was exactly what we needed - a place to get some rest on a busy race weekend.
Scott, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Aspen Inn is clean and quiet and the staff are excellent.
David, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

For this price range, was excellent. Location was great. The customer service was top notch. The woman at the front desk was so helpful and accomodating. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.
Breanna, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great for the price
M, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great overnighter

Nice little place with great staff and a good breakfast bar. We suggested a nightlight and grab bars be installed in the shower for safety though
Bob, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Grand stay in Grand Marais

Bed was a bit hard for my taste but the pillows were wonderful. Breakfast is a bare minimum. Cereal, toast, bagels, precooked pancakes. Very good deal for the price.
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing room for a great price

We were going on vacation for the first time with our baby and the staff there were very accommodating and gave us a room that was massive and a perfect size to help us accommodate a packn' play. I have used this hotel many times and this was the best room I have had by far.

10/10 Exceptional

Mitchell at the front desk is great. She is a huge part of why I stay there every time I'm at Grand Marias
Linda, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

A little outdated but overall stay was good. No complaints!
Thuyeng, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stayed in the area for work, Aspen Inn was close to things I needed, quiet and comfortable. Would stay again
DesaRae, 4-night trip

Great value for a decent room.
DAVE, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The bathroom was very clean. Nice shower.
Rebecca, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Mitchell at the front desk is always so pleasant and accommodating. Rooms are very clean.
Linda, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We were looking for a reasonable place to stay for two days while we were doing some work in the area. Came across Aspen Inn, and reserved two rooms. Rooms were nice, clean, well equipped. If you’re looking for a 5 Star place to stay this is probably not the place. If you are looking for a nice clean place to sleep, watch some TV, this is it.
Howard, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was clean and convenient. Could use some updating, but cleanliness is much more important!
Katherine, 1-night trip
