A no frills place to stay while visiting the area.

Very nice and quiet
Kayla Marie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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

It's a nice little place, that needs some tlc. AC didnt work, but they already stated that, so we knew to expect fans. Stocked continental breakfast,plenty of towels. It is not the 5 star luxury, but it's clean, the beds are comfy and very convenient to the town.
Therese, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Great for the price
M, 1-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

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

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

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A little outdated but overall stay was good.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

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

10/10 Excellent

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

10/10 Excellent

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

2/10 Terrible

This place was a dump. It needs a good cleaning/refurbish and it would be cute. The air-conditioner didn't work, everything was worn out and wasn't clean. Only redeeming factor was the one staff person who did her best.
Beverly, 3-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

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

10/10 Excellent

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