Honestly, we meant to reserve at the Aspen Lodge, but this former Super 8 has apparently been bought by the company that owns the other "Aspen"hotel in town and been renamed accordingly. Once we got over our confusion, this was just fine. It served our purpose of a clean place to sleep and shower while we went up the Gunflint... More

This is a good basic hotel. Nothing fancy but the rooms were clean, the bed was fine; the hotel was quiet. You could open the window and let the fresh air in. We stayed here one night before heading up the Gunflint Trail to stay at one of the resorts. The price was right. The people who worked here were... More

This hotel allows dogs but be wary. Dogs are only allowed in smoking rooms. Apparently a smoking room entitles you to not only the smell of heavy smoke, the smell of rotten fish. Regardless of the smell, the room was a complete pigsty. The shower had silverfish crawling all over it, and the bathroom sink had hair all over it.... More

A great hotel on the lake. Nothing fancy, but very clean and very friendly staff. Recommended if staying in Grand Marais.

Sometimes, when it's pouring rain and thundering hail, all you need is a hot shower and a soft bed. This place provides that. My wife and I took refuge at this property after a treacherous storm chased us out of the Boundary Waters area. We didn't care about the amenities of a resort, or the views of the hotels in... More

The room was one of the less expensive rooms in Grand Marais, and I was very happy with my decision to stay here. The room was nice and smelled fine. The wireless internet worked very well, which is not always the case. The staff was friendly. The hotel was very quiet too, though that may depend on where your room... More

My father and I stayed here as part of the Lutsen ski package, which was an amazing deal. Basically, if you were to pay for the 2 day lift ticket deal, it is the same price to take a package with 2 days of skiing and 2 nights stay, so I naturally did. Check in was great, the staff were... More

Well if price is what your looking for, I guess this is the place. I think I would rather pay a few more bucks and stay in another place next time. We stayed in the newer section and all looked ok, then when we entered the room there was a strange smell, it smelled like a heavy cleaner masking something... More

THE SUPER 8 IS PERFECT FOR PEOPLE TRAVELLING ON A BUDGET!! Use an AAA or AARP card for 10% discount. It doesn't proclaim to be a 5* luxury hotel! It is cheap and cheerful. The international staff were very helpful and always willing to assist with any problems. There was a young gentleman behind reception called Massimo and he was... More
