8/10

Wonderful people work here, so even though it's an older building, not at all fancy, the amenities they provide are generous and the vibe is welcoming. The location is excellent, an easy walk or bikeride into town, and the motel was very quiet (not a party site) when we were there, even though it was full for both Memorial Day Weekend and a cycling race. This motel should be much appreciated by travelers on a budget. All the other guests were nice, too. We would stay here again if the rate is the same--affordable!

10/10

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.

4/10

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.
2-night trip

2/10

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.

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.
