10/10 Exceptional

Affordable Comfort
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.

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly staff, not fancy but a good way to be able to enjoy the North Shore without the high cost of lodging.
TRACY, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Really old and musty
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.

Had a great stay there. It is a perfect place if you are just looking for a place to get some sleep and relax after a day of hiking. The staff were great and offered to help or answer any questions we had. Would stay again.

A Lucky Find
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.
Grand Marais harbor view.

We really liked Kwaunea at the front desk!
Helen, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A place that is a great value.
We had a very comfy room. If you need a place to relax in between activities this place is perfect. Have stayed here multiple times and have never been disappointed.

If you are looking for bright and shiny, this is not your place. The staff is kind and helpful and really made a difference. Would stay again!
Alisha, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The place was clean, staff was very friendly and helpful. It’s a little out of town to walk but not a far drive. I would definitely stay here again!

Mary, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is an older property, but it was very convenient. The staff was pleasant, the room was clean and the price was reasonable.
Linda, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Even though it's nothing fancy, the room is comfortable, close to a restaurant, on the main street of Grand Marais, and has premade breakfast available the entire day (I grabbed a bagel for lunch because I wasn't too hungry and it was fine). The staff is really friendly and helpful and gave me tons of ideas to go hiking.
Lenny, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean and serviceable. Bed was very comfy and the bathroom was clean and handy. The folks at the front desk were friendly and personable. All in all, a good value for the money.
Steven, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a quiet, comfortable, no-frills motel. It is not near downtown Grand Marais, but is near a nice bar and the mini golf course. Overall, a good reasonably-priced place to stay.
