They do not have a pool like it says they do. The place smelled strongly of smoke even though it said non smoking, the towels were old and scratchy, the bathroom needed to be cleaned better, stained toilet. I would stay here again though - it just is not worth the price I paid for it. The bed was comfortable and clean. Which made up for a lot - the little fridge did work. The lamp shades were all cracked - made me feel like I was in a murder mystery room. There are no places for a USB charging. Old hotel - if you need a place to crash - its fine but its a step above camping.

The pool/spa area has been "out of order" the entire seven years I've been spending Labor Day weekend in Nisswa, which leads me to wonder if it ever worked at all. The mattress in my room (#117) must have been 40 years old, offered absolutely NO support at all, and sagged in all the wrong places. Accordingly, I'm going to have a back ache for about a week. Staff seemed friendly, and the surroundings were clean and well kept.

Hotel should reduce my fees- amenities not availab

The staff was super friendly. However, the hotel is under new management so the pool and hot tub were down for renovation; there was no breakfast offered; the ice machine was out of service; the hair dryer had been pulled off the wall and was laying on the clothes rack along with the wall mount: no light bulb in the large lamp. My fee should be reduced because of all the amenities listed in their website were not available and weren’t told to me before my arrival.

Change of ownership cited for very slow & cumbersone check in process. Room was large but didn’t feel clean. Didn’t feel that safe - there were a lot of dodgy characters hanging around the entrance smoking late at night. Including the receptionist….avoid if you have kids or teens.

Okay, but needs renovation

The staff was friendly and the parking lot has easy access, but the building is in need of renovation. It is an older building with scratched metal doors, worn carpeting, a bathroom fan that did not move air, and too much furniture in the small room that made it feel overcrowded. Also, the ice machine was out of order and there is no continental breakfast available.

First, the bed was terrible, very worn out, no sheets. Second, the toilet in the bathroom was loose and it tilted to one side. The towels were very worn out, they didnot even dry your skin. Will never stay there again, for what the price was to stay was way over priced for what you got!!!

No complaints

Was in town for race weekend. Other options we 2 or 3 times the peice, so I took a chance. Hotel was fine. Rooms were clean, service was fine, beds were comfortable. Nothing fancy, but staying in the hotel wasn't the purpose of my trip. I dont have any complaints.

Hotel needs love.

Chose this hotel for the location and the continental breakfast option. Got there and noticed hotel is under new management and no continental breakfast. I did not notice how dirty the tub and shower was until I needed to use it. Was hair all over the tub. I just chose to leave before the 2 nd night.
