Great value, clean room, friendly staff
Lori, 2-night trip

A no frills place to stay while visiting the area.
Dianne, 2-night trip

Very nice and quiet
Kayla Marie, 2-night trip

staff was awesome
Dori, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

A hotel with a lot of utility. Clean and cheap, I don't need all of the extras that come with expensive hotels.
Ben, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

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

8/10 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 Good

This is a SLIGHTLY run down hotel. HOWEVER - the staff is WONDERFUL, the price is GREAT, location very good - just a couple of minutes from town. Grand Marais has gotten so expensive that it was nice to find a very reasonably priced hotel. The staff at the hotel makes it worth staying at.
Ruth, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

Great for the price
M, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The condition of the windows, heater and doors was poor. Need new windows and doors. Convenient location to downtown Grand Marais.
Laurie, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Pros: It is often the cheapest place to stay in Grand Marais and was quiet. The breakfast was very simple, but was well-stocked. Cons: It is about a mile from downtown and the harbor, so have a car or be okay with the walk. The rooms do not have refrigerators or microwaves if this is important to you.
Michael, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

A little outdated but overall stay was good.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

10/10 Excellent

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 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

8/10 Good

Aspen in was clean, convenient and affordable. That being said, the amenities listed could probably stand to be updated. The hot tub was not available during our trip and, based on other reviews, has not been functional for quite some time. The “continental breakfast” is mostly just toast and single-serve Keurig coffee, with a few other pre-packaged items
Alyssa, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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

10/10 Excellent

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

4/10 Poor

I expect something better, the only good thing it was the lady in the front desk.
Juana L, 2-night trip

8/10 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

David, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

Room has an air conditioner. It didn’t work. The mattress was old and very uncomfortable.
Josh, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

The Aspen Inn really needs some updating. The carpet is disgusting and I think the bedspreads, etc. are from 1985. I won't be coming back unless they make some major updates. The area is beautiful, so they really should consider renovations so they don't lose all future customers.
Carey, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Great rates.
