We requested a new room because the room we were put in was dirty and was not cleaned properly. The manager was very rude when we requested a new room. The front desk worker was also very rude. Very poorly managed property . Would not recommend this property to stay at.

The main considerations for me when staying at a hotel are that it is clean and quiet. Aspen Inn checked both of those boxes and toss in an incredible view of Lake Superior and you have an awesome play to stay. I was very happy with the stay and the room, as it was clean and spacious.

First room took 2 hands to turn on bathroom faucet while twisting it. Put in another room and faucet was backwards for hot and cold water. Toilet didn't flush properly and baseboards falling off and countless other damaged items. Wouldn't stay there again.

We only stayed one night in Grand Maris. The room was clean, but dated. It served its purpose. Grand Maris is an entranceway to a lot of nature, hunting, fishing, etc. The town itself is okay.

Hidden Gem

We travel frequently and have stayed in all kinds of hotels-fancy to basic. This is a great little hotel that is convenient to everything downtown without having to get in the car. The room is very clean, extremely quiet and we had a nice view of the lake. We don't eat breakfast, so we don't usually care if there's breakfast available. My only complaint is that it's difficult to control the temperature in the room and AC can get a little noisy at night. Otherwise, fantastic stay, especially for the price and location.
