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.
