Itascan Motel

Location had easy access to my event , price was economical . Musty , Room needs upgrade carpet is long past its prime - worn & needs a good cleaning better yet replace it . Shower very small and built for short people at 6’ I had to struggle to wash my hair .

The property is not ADA compliant with steps to get into room and narrow doorway into bedroom. The place is an old motel badly needing a renovation. The room was fairly clean but could use vacuuming behind the furniture. No tub; just a shower in the small bathroom. Beds were good which met our needs for the one night.

It did have a full refrigerator.

We would like to thank the staff when we checked in for moving our room to a lighted area being as we were on motorcycles. We had booked a room online which was on the dark side of the hotel so he voluntarily moved us up to the front so we were in the light. We can’t thank him enough for doing that for us!!

The window's don't lock. I wish I had a key to lock the dead-bolt on the door, instead of just locking the doorknob. The air condioner is great.

Weeds in parking lot, first thought it's abandoned. Old everything, bathroom tiny, toilet like crapping in a coffee cup. Shower way small. Beds ok, sheets very loose fitting. tv poor reception. Will go somewhere else next time in Grand rapids mn. To bad there is potential. It would only take thousands of dollars and skilled labor to fix up.

This was your basic cheap motel. Easy walking to a couple bars and restaurants, parking in front of door. Check in was easy and guy was friendly. But this is an older motel with a bit of a shabby run-down feel to it. I'm not fussy; the sheets were clean and toilet flushed, so I was content. However, there were dust bunnies in the corners, and lots of frayed fabric, and worn surfaces. My room (22?) had two rooms and the bedroom didn't have a tv and the chairs were a bit worn in the living room area. Again, functional and no bugs, so for one night to crash this was perfectly acceptable but not sure if I would want to use it as a base for a long vacation. Not nearly as bad as some of the other review would lead you to believe, however not as nice as it could be with a little TLC.

Easy parking

Pleasant stay at an iconic GR fixture. Room exuded a 1960s vibe. Could do with minor touch-up. But PLEASE, value and retain the classic old school motel experience. Thank you!👍

Parking lot not plowed - old snow and ice made parkindifficult Never seen anything like it before in MN Musty odor in room

The staff were nice and helpful. The office looked like the carpets were never cleaned. The toilet had urine stains. There was only one large towel in the room and it had stains on it. The air conditioner didn't cool the room much.

I have never stayed at a hotel as dirty as this one in my life

Not the fanciest but very clean and welcoming. Staff were very nice and pleasant. Check in was very easy and so was check out. I’ll definitely be renting from them again in the future!

Outdated motel but it was clean and had a comfortable bed. Shower was good pressure.

Hair on sheets. Hair on toilet

Very filthy. Dirty...

this place i cant even beleive expedia has on there site. Its dirty very cold very little heat smells and when asking for another room was told if i do like it i can leave without a refund. This was a mistake on my part and i am thinking i will no longer use you as a place to look for a hotel. Very disapointed in exspedia on this one as this place should be shut down befor its recamended to any other person. i should be totally refunded from you for my very little sleep and very cold stay. THANKS ALOT FOR NOTHING AND A BAD PLACE TO STAY ON YOUR SITE.

The woman at the front desk made sure she reminded me the room was non smoking. Upon opening the door it wreaked of the most pungent smell of cigarettes I’ve ever smelt. The carpet was filthy. The furniture was disgusting. The walls were gross. The room was so hot I could barely breathe. The wall air conditioning unit did not work properly. The microwave and fridge were Filthy. The bathroom was so nasty that I did not want to use it. I had one towel that was clearly not washed and the rest smelled like mildew. The shower is so small and the shower head at about 5’. The bedroom was so grimey that I did not even sleep in it. The windows didn’t close all the way and there were insects flying all around. There were brown stains under the mattress which is a clear sign of bed bugs. The walls are paper thin and you can hear Everything. This motel has tons of drug activity. People coming in and out All night and clearly not hiding what they were doing. This motel is Not safe. It should be condemned and the owners fined.

It was not clean I found someone's meds on the floor and I wap everything down to be clean

Bedsheets and bathroom was not clean. Although dirty, the bed was comfortable to sleep in, only recommend if you truly need or want a bed to sleep in.

Budget Hotel, don’t expect too much. Room was ok, small bathroom was fine. A little stain on the carpet and arm of the chair. TV was ok, A/C worked, though had to figure it out. Temp was in C not F. It is right off the main road, so a fair bit of traffic noise. I had noise cancelling earbuds I wore overnight, which were great for not being bothered by the noise outside. The man who checked me in was professional, courteous and friendly. There was a kitty in the office, but she was very cautious and didn’t want to be touched by anyone. She was not threatening or anything, just clearly curious about what was going on.

The check-in experience was smooth and accurate, and the staff was friendly. The room condition left a lot to be desired: --- The bathroom door (Room 13) was being held together by tape, which was coming undone. --- The Wi-Fi signal in the room was very weak, and we needed to go to the office to get an acceptable signal. --- The armchair was old and worn but still comfortable.

Walls are very thin so we could clearly hear the neighbors conversations. The room had a very musty, ashtray scent to it. Definitely getting what you pay for. Could definitely use some updating.

Very friendly staff and huge rooms

Good place to sleep only complaint would be shower head was low and I had to squat to wash my hair.

The rooms are older. The floor creaks so much that one can hear other occupants in other rooms walk around. Bathroom is very very small, comparable to a cruise ship small. The lady in the office was curt in her answers.

Room was tiny - some outlets didn't work. TV was unplugged. Person next door kept TV on all night and kept us up. Towels were so tiny and thin. We left after one night and she didn't reimburse us for the 2nd night.

Manager was very friendly and had a good sense of humor. Even though the room was very small and very close to other rooms, there was no real noise. They were sold out, so all of the rooms were full, but I was not bothered by other guests. I enjoyed my stay!

When checking in i had to show my reservation via phone to the staff to prove i had a reservation, it was very unorganized. Once i got to my room it smelled as if a wet dog had been smoking cigarettes for month's. Completely gross. There was a dirty sock lying on the floor. Throughout the years while working construction i have had to stay in some not so great places. This place has taken the #1 spot in the worst place i have ever stayed.

Barely acceptable. The room smelled. We got one towel for two of us. Went to the front desk and the owner couldn't/wouldn't provide a second one. Crazy

Needed a last minute place to stay with reasonable rates! Staff were so very nice and amazing and the beds were super comfortable!

They changed me for a night I didn't use it

Very friendly staff. Nice place to stay. Will book again in the future.

Very convenient place to stay as I journey along the MRT - Mississippi River Trailway

Great pit stop for the price. I would return!

Pleasant stay at an iconic GR fixture. Room exuded a 1960s vibe. Could do with minor touch-up. But PLEASE, value and retain the classic old school motel experience. Thank you!👍

Beautiful view, gps wanted me to walk on water to get here. Ate at Anchor Bar close, great burger.
