Everything was amazing. This was the second time we have stayed here and it was just as great as the first time. Now if you're looking for fancy 5 star hotel this is not it. Yet the staff are 5 stars and even the stay was 5 stars. It's a place to relax and sleep after long days on the north shore. I will keep coming back

Everything was just fine for the one night we stayed: the room was clean, the bed comfortable. I liked the end second floor room facing the nice trees. We didn't use the breakfast, so I can't comment on that. It was a nice location for being quiet, and not too far from downtown. The staff were friendly. Thanks!

We arrived at the Inn to find that we had no reservation even though I received a confirmation email from both Expedia and Aspen Inn. The Inn was fully booked with one room that was not scheduled to be cleaned until the next day. They cleaned that room for us and honoured the price we had gotten from Expedia even though they had no record of that reservation. I can't say enough good things about the manager and staff.

The room itself was fine, but the upkeep of the property seems to be lacking. The breakfast options were minimal, and the coffee tasted like a new pot had not been made in several days.
