We are from out of town and stayed at this motel. Never again. It is a NO SMOKING MOTEL, and I except that. Only two people in the room, and I am the only one that smokes, and NEVER smoked in the room. The original room charge was $79.99 plus taxes. We used a debt card to pay for room.... More

Stuck in Spicer for a funeral service...rented several rooms in the off season and was charged full price for what was a dated, cheaply furnished, old style motel. For the price I paid, it should have been much better. Being in the hospitality industry myself, I think they could have much more attention to detail and upgraded linens...they even have... More

My family of 4 stayed here for 3 nights in August. Anyone who remembers what an interstate Holiday Inn or Ramada Inn was like on a family roadtrip back in the 80's will feel right at home at the Northern Inn in Spicer. The rooms are basically clean and fairly well maintained. But, there are absolutely no modern ammenities. Remember... More

Thank you for taking time to post your comment, however I do have right to say that you are simply laughing form somebody’s hard work, I am surprise that Trip Advisor is so disrespectful to hard working people and post anything without checking the facts. I’m sorry you didn’t like your stay with us, yet you’ve stayed with us 4... More

We stayed at the Northern Inn for 2 nights to attend a wedding at the American Legion. We stayed in room 110. Our first response to the room when we walked in was that it smelled.

My two small children and I travel a lot, which can be a challenge. We found this hotel to be very accommodating to our needs. The rooms and pool area were very clean and I felt comfortable with the baby crawling on the floor. The staff was kind and helpful. We were able to get into our room early for... More
