Overall, our stay was good. The staff were pleasant, and the availability of breakfast items throughout the day was convenient. The room was clean and the towels/sheets were good quality. The beds were typical hotel beds - comfortable enough. With the very humid temps, the carpet in the room was always damp, even with the AC running. The parking lot was in disrepair with a number of pot holes to avoid. Even with these inconveniences, we would have no issue with staying here in the future.

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.

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.

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

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.
