I was looking for an affordable motel in Grand Marais and the Aspen Inn met my needs perfectly. The room offered a HDTV with access to Direct TV, Tubi, and other streaming providers, a decent sized fridge, a comfortable king sized bed, and a table and chairs for dining. The motel included continental breakfast with Kureg coffee abd tea, cereal, yogurt, bagels, etc. The next time I am looking for a place to stay in Grand Marais, I will look for a room at the Aspen Inn first.

Smelled old, had mold in bathroom, Sheetrock cracked in many places, no real breakfast just toast and cereal, had to go outside to get it, hot tub not working, no blanket on bed, tv small, and really dated and old. Only good thing was the front desk lady, she was nice. Also not close to snow trails if you want to ride from the hotel you can’t.

Breakfast was bagels and cereal. Very limited options. No ice machine and spa and sauna were closed. Also our tv didn’t work in our room. Place needs a serious overhaul to be worth what they charge.

You pay for what you get, and I admit I chose this place because it was less expensive, however, in the future I’ll pay more for a nicer place. The rooms are in serious need of an upgrade. Bathtub was in gross condition, carpet frayed and torn. Even my phone charger would fall out of the outlet. Lighting poor, just lamps. The young woman working at the front desk was not very friendly. I won’t be staying here again.

Very friendly staff, not fancy but a good way to be able to enjoy the North Shore without the high cost of lodging.

You get what you pay for. Quiet, comfortable bed, very basic breakfast. Room in desperate need of repair (old windows wouldn't close, cracked caulk in shower, etc).

Seem to be about 20 years overdue for a refresh. Water didn’t drain properly in the shower and on a two day stay staff did not make up the room After the first night.

Staff were efficient, friendly and helpful. Room was quiet, clean and affordable, but could use some refurbishing. Grand Marais is a popular destination, so book early.

My stay at Aspen Inn was very comfortable and quiet. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would stay there again when I am back in Grand Marais.

It was cheap and affordable when everything else was double or triple in price, Fall colors up on the North Shore so people were everywhere, it needs updating but you get what you pay for. I’d come back again because it is totally affordable.

The staff is excellent. Mitchell and Danny both remembered me from my previous stay. I met Louise this time and she is very nice also. They make it feel like old home week. The room is clean and quiet. I will definitely be back.

Check in was fine. Front desk person was accommodating. Room was very dirty. Shower curtain was disgusting. Bedding may or may not have been washed. Smelled old and could detect the faint smell of cigarette smoke. I am guessing it wasn’t always a non-smoking place, especially because it’s an older building. Toilet had problems flushing. Carpet in the room looked newer but the room was not well maintained. TV was small, but there was a Roku with many options, so that was good. Doors into the building were not secure, but the room locked just fine. Lobby closes at around 8 or 9 PM, so very inconvenient in that respect. Free breakfast was minimal and pretty much all carbs. They had a Keurig-like machine, which was fine except that people had to wait in line. Lobby doubles as the breakfast area, so very small and not many places to sit. Probably the cheapest place in Grand Marais - would not return here. I guess you get what you pay for. Hotels in town and right on the lake look much nicer.
