Nice and close to beautiful Lake Superior.
Room was comfortable. The baseboards had paint splotches on them from when wall was painted. The tub caulking was dirty yellow . No microwave.
it was dark and i couldn’t get the heat to turn off

Easiest and the fastest check in ever. Quiet location, slept great and good water pressure. This is an older property that needs renovations but still comfortable at a good price. This was my second stay and will go back.

Nice and quiet. They allow dogs in the wing with the king beds - again, v. nice. The TV was good - lots of choice. They were one of the least expensive motels in the area. However, they were expensive for the facilities - the room and motel were in some state of disrepair with non-functional electrical sockets, tatty lamps, and motel sign falling apart. There was trash lying on the property. There were no coffeemakers in the rooms. The continental breakfast was okay in a pinch and thank goodness they had coffee at breakfast. No cups in the room for water. The rooms were typical motel size with drive up to the door. The bathroom was quite roomy and adequate. There were trash receptacles outside and a bit of grass to let one's dog do her business. I enjoyed my stay and the Aspen Inn was perfectly adequate. However - I think more than $400 for three nights in off-season was a bit much given the aforementioned.
There were quite a few bugs in the room (not bed bugs). There was also a door next to the bathroom that we believed was a closet, but when opened it led to what looked like a crawl space underneath the room. I’m guessing that’s where all the bugs were coming from but it felt a little bit unsafe as we were not willing to check the crawl space area and someone could have been hiding down there. Other than that, the room was good enough for the price paid.
We stayed at the Aspen Inn at the beginning of April. The staff was friendly and helpful. It is a great place if you just need to sleep and clean up. We spent most of our vacation hiking so this was a great option and price for us. The thermostat was a little finicky for us, but the room had a box fan supplied which worked great.
