Every year we pass thru Grand Marais on our way home from fishing in Canada. We have stayed at the Aspen many times and always enjoyed it. This past trip, with just 3 of us looking for a comfortable room for the night, we stayed in the Spruce Glen Inn next door. The Aspen Lodges office runs this also. We... more

We had a nice room overlooking the lake. Look on their website for internet special rates. The service was excellent, friendly and helpful. It is located just a very short walk from town. Breakfast is OK and there is a nice pool, whirlpool and deck which is a pleasure after a long day. There is an IGA just down the... more

We were thrilled to make our first trip to this part of Minnesota, and discover such a family friendly hotel in a wonderful town. We took advantage of a special "stay 4 nights and get the 5th free" offer, from July 4-9th. Coming from Charleston, South Carolina, home of Southern Hospitality and friendliness, from the time I spent on the... more

I have stayed at Aspen Lodge over 5 times in the last 8 months. At each visit I have been greated with smiles and kindness. The staff makes this place home. Those improvements alone will keep me coming there. The rooms have improved greatly with new pillows and they are always clean. Cleaning is my business so I am particular.... more

This hotel has become trashy over the past 6 years. The carpets were incredibly filthy, mold on the bathroom ceiling, mildew on the shower curtain, pool was green and colder than Superior with the hot tub hot enough to give you 3rd degree burns. After being a faithful guest for over 6 years, I'd rather spend $1000 a night elsewhere... more

Aspen Lodge is a fairly new property (1995). We have a wonderful pool, sauna, hot tub area (it does need repainting and is on the maintenance schedule for this fall). In was just completely inspected and passed with flying colors. The pool/hot tub temperature is set at regulatory 82/104 degrees. We follow the standard set by the state (they actually...

We stayed here 2 nights. It was a fine place for our purpose. We needed a place to sleep after hiking all day. The room was clean and the beds were your typical hotel beds. Nothing spectacular but comfortable enough to sleep on. We were on the third floor so we did have a view of Lake Superior. We were... more

I was in Grand Marias for a conference in July 2007. This was the hotel where a block of rooms was booked for a $119 a night. From the webpage, I thought -- ok, this seems a bit expensive doe such a small town, but It had free parking, wi-fi, and a refrig in each room. Well, upon arrival I... more

AspenLodge, Manager Front Desk

In the last 6 months our hotel staff has been revamped. With that came more thorough inspection of all issues (rooms, carpet, pool...etc.). We feel very confident that our property now reflects it's worth. There are some major upgrades that we are working on for summer 2010 but for the most part know without a doubt that you will be...

We booked this room for a vacation getaway. Lets say it wasn't worth the price. We booked a room with 2-queen beds an the employee we talked to said it would be $159.00 a night. Luckily we looked online and we saw it would be $119.00 a night. We e-mailed them and they never responded. We ended up calling and... more

We had a lovely stay at the Aspen Lodge. The Clerk at the desk was super friendly and helpful. She gave us great advice on locations to visit and places to eat at a reasonable price. We got a lakeview room on the 3rd floor and I have to say, you need a room on the 3rd floor for the... more
