Cycling the Forest Roads

It was great home base to head out cycling on the Arrow Head. Excellent value and location.

Good, Clean & Reasonably Priced

Nice motel about 1/2 mile from town. Clean with what looked like recently re-done bathroom. Staff was professional, efficient, respectful and friendly.

Great overnighter

Nice little place with great staff and a good breakfast bar. We suggested a nightlight and grab bars be installed in the shower for safety though
Bob, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing room for a great price

We were going on vacation for the first time with our baby and the staff there were very accommodating and gave us a room that was massive and a perfect size to help us accommodate a packn' play. I have used this hotel many times and this was the best room I have had by far.

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.

The bathroom was very clean. Nice shower.

Bar/restaurant next door. Clean place to stay for a night on the way to Canada. Not much for breakfast if you are looking for that. Hot shower.

HORRIBLE

THE WORST MOTLE EVER RUDE STAFF, BROKEN WINDOW AND DOORS CHARGE 2X FOR THE ROOM
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Independent motel, hands-on (REAL), great staff.

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!

MEH

The “Hot Tub” out of order Looks like forever? The hallways smell musty and moldy The room we stayed in was definitely musty and damp Im glad I brought essential oils with Lavender helped! The ice machine made enough ice for 5 drinks every 5 hours And we found a 3 prong fish hook at the bottom of our comforter Thankfully our dog didnt. Pillows were too thick Shower water pressure not great Air conditioner did not work 1 mile walk to town was perfect! Nice sharable deck with firepit use. Coffee was nice Toaster Pancakes Bagles Oatmeal Yogurt Juices Milk Decent free breakfast options The smell was the worst thing about aspen inn

My dog staying with me.
Benet, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice cheap motel. No frills, on the edge of town (so no easy walking distance to shops or restaurants. Room and bath are in good shape, but the property in general is dated and in need of some attention.

Robert, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice price but absolutely no frills- hot tub was broken and it was never mentioned ahead of time. Said it would take 6 months to fix. Breakfast is rather slim, not much offered. But nice beds and TV. Close enough to everything so that is not an issue. But it is not downtown, that is their sister motel, and yes that one has a pool this one doesn't, ads are misleading.
Andrew, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Parking area was full of potholes. The facility was ok for place to sleep, never saw hotel attendant, even though breakfast was offered.
