Over priced, very dated, and only one waffle maker for ALL the families with kids?! The free breakfast was ‘fine’ if you didn’t mind wandering thru the property to find it and then, once there, investigating all the different restaurant nooks to find the different stations for the pieced together breakfast. The water ‘park’ was a joke! Would have been better with a regular pool.

The bathroom in our room was not cleaned well - the vents which were easily within cleaning reach had sooo much dust and the shower had several old pieces of hair in it. Give me a duster and I would have dusted it myself and it would have taken 30 seconds maximum. The room seemed clean enough but with a lot of missing scrapes of paint on the wall. It was nice the restaurant was on site and the food was good - the continental breakfast very standard and average for a free hotel meal. Water park was okay- pretty chilly actually and the “lifeguards” spent alot of time looking down at their phones

This hotel was terrible, under staffed. When I checked in I said I would only be staying 1 night the front desk staff was very unfriendly, didn't know how to do her job. And on top of it they charged me for my complete booking, even though I only stayed 1 night. So don't stay here terrible management go to another location in Brainerd there is plenty others to choose from!!!! On top of it very dirty.

At least it was clean

Waited for 10-15 min for someone to come to the front desk and check us in. Wasn’t very friendly. Asked about upgrading and the cost, he told me since I booked online there was no way he’d be able to do that. Handed me my keys and never told us about anything in the hotel (where the elevator is located, what time breakfast is served, etc.). TVs are old and dim. Bedding has been washed 5,000 times too many it rough and pilly, pillows are like bricks. At least it was a clean place to sleep for the night.

Interesting traditional “up north” decor. Parking lot was clean and convenient. However, our room was sub-par. The tile directly in front of the toilet was cracked and loose, right where you would put your feet. The shower diverter only half worked. Carpet hadn’t been vacuumed. A large water bottle from a previous guest was beside the bed, and the sink was dirty.

Perfect for the family!

We had a great stay here. It was the perfect hotel to stay at with our three kids (4, 2 and 0). Our older two absolutely loved the waterpark! The restaurant is great for grabbing lunch or dinner. The room was a good size and clean. No real complaints!
