The property has not been updated in so long there are cigarette burns all over our carpeting. No coffee maker or safe. Carpet bubbling in hallways. Hands down the most run down, poorly maintained hotel in Grand Marais.

Good old hotel

Place is clean but could use some repairs. Noticed tiles falling off the wall in the lobby/kitchen area. Room was clean. Bathroom fan was super load. hope it did not annoy the neighbors. Bathroom sink was cracked. Towel rack in bathroom fall off the wall. it was not installed properly. They could update the 80's furniture in the room. Needs outlets for phone chargers by nightstand. Continental breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. Overall it was a good place to stay.

Not the best.

The hotel was very dated. The furniture and curtains in our room and in the seating area of the lobby were very old and tattered. The carpets had stains all over them. The bathroom and jetted tub were very clean. What we paid for one night in this room we can get 2 nights at a hotel in the twin cities.

We requested a new room because the room we were put in was dirty and was not cleaned properly. The manager was very rude when we requested a new room. The front desk worker was also very rude. Very poorly managed property . Would not recommend this property to stay at.

The main considerations for me when staying at a hotel are that it is clean and quiet. Aspen Inn checked both of those boxes and toss in an incredible view of Lake Superior and you have an awesome play to stay. I was very happy with the stay and the room, as it was clean and spacious.

We only stayed one night in Grand Maris. The room was clean, but dated. It served its purpose. Grand Maris is an entranceway to a lot of nature, hunting, fishing, etc. The town itself is okay.
