Our room and the property were clean and quiet. Check-in went smoothly and any issues we had were handled promptly and courteously.. There was a nice continental breakfast and coffee/tea available all day as well as a coffee pot in the room. No microwave, but a refrigerator was in the room. The only drawback for us was the stairs, only because we are older and not quite as agile as we once were. Being within walking distance of shops and restaurants was a big benefit and being able to open our window and hear the lake was great. Oh- for those of us who find TVs smarter than us, finding the Sunday night football game was a struggle. TV instructions would be helpful as there are no “regular” channels but many, many apps that might or might not have what you are looking for.

Aspen Lodge was in a wonderful location with a partial view of Lake Superior. The hotel had everything you need but could use an update and the cleanliness was wanting. Overall a good stay.

The room was comfortable and the lodge is conveniently located in the heart of Grand Marais. The guest laundry was free to use, although it could have been cleaner and the machines weren't in great shape. Continental breakfast is included.

The hotel was clean and we really were just looking for a place to stay for two nights. The outside of the property looked like a jungle and we joked about the jungle look. However it was clean and close to downtown area. Very quiet. Had a nice pool and whirlpool. We may stay again

Great Little town and nice hotel!

Hotel is old but comfortable. Room was spacious with 2 queen beds, frig, desk, table, dresser, closet. The bed was good. The bathroom was not 100% clean. There was a piece of hair on the floor. Shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, bar soap was provided. Breakfast was bagels, bread, toaster, muffins, oatmeal, cereal, peanut butter, applesauce, orange juice, apple juice. No fruit. There are not a lot of places to stay in this little town, but I would stay here again. The hotel was very quiet and I didn’t see a lot of people. The parking lot was always full, but the people were quiet. Front desk, housekeeping, and maintenance employees were nice. The town and surrounding area is beautiful and wonderful. I did not see a water dispenser anywhere and I don’t drink out of the tap so I had to get bottled water from the store.

IGH guest

Room was clean but needed updates - old mattress, stained, mildewy carpet, dated bedding. Front desk receptionist seemed more occupied with her smart phone video games than behaving professionally. Breakfast was continental, at a minimum. Coffee was ok, bland bakery goods, no warm food options such as eggs, bacon or sausage, potatoes. Upside: wearing proper walking shoes, harbor and restaurants withing a mile.
