Please get rid of the internet-based smart TV, and return to real cable or satellite TV. I realize it's cheaper, but there is nothing worth watching, it buffers constantly, and I'm sure it saps the strength of the hotel wi-fi. Which brings me to the problem of weak wi-fi. I was in room 113, and I'm sure it was worse for me, being at the end of the hotel. But I had to move to the lobby to find stronger wi-fi to get my work done. This is the only negative. Apart from this annoyance, which is fixable, I love staying at the Aspen Inn.

The property is just really old. The bedding and towels don't seem clean although I'm sure they are, they are just old. I used a wash cloth and when it dried it was hard so they must be using cheap clothes soap or not switching them all out after guest check out. Plus it was very pricey for an old motel with no amenities. However, it was close to everything along the lake so I will probably stay there again.

THe price was too much for only an average stay. The tv remote and offerings were difficult to figure out. The furniture could sure use some updating.

Older motel. Torn carpet, dated decor. But it’s clean and quiet and well located. Room was not serviced nor were linens refreshed during 2-night stay - maybe that’s the new normal…

While not new, the property is still in good shape and kept up. The room was large and beds comfortable. Staff were very friendly. I would say again if not wanting a lake view.

Tolerable. The hot tub was broken and had been broken for quite some time apparently; the pool was also out of service. The breakfast was all high calorie , carb, sugar and fat options. But the staff was very nice and the location good. Bedding was worn and the blankets and curtains had small holes.
