The check-in and check-out processes were simple and easy. The room was comfortable and clean.
This place was super cute and you can tell it was recently updated. The room itself is super clean, stocked with all the goods you would find in a larger hotel and check-in/out is quick & easy. It doesn’t seem like it, but this place is walkable to the downtown Aitkin stretch (roughly 30 minute walk). we were able to check out some cute shops and grab a bite from a cute local spot.
The place must have just been renovated. It was beautiful, very clean and quiet. Roomy. I liked the separate bedroom for the kids. Close enough to walk into town. Jackie was very friendly.
Wonderful place to lay our heads down and get a good nights rest. Will be heading back.
