Last September my mother and I took a vacation to beautiful Nett Lake, Minnesota to visit some family members and had a wonderful time staying in nearby town of Tower, at the Fortune Bay casino. The experience was affected me in only positive ways. After driving down a serine two lane road, carved through a pine tree forest, we found... More

My husband and I stayed at Fortune Bay for the first time this past weekend for his work holiday party. When we arrived after a long drive, we were greeted wonderfully by the door man (he was just as enthusiastic on our way out...very nice touch!), but that is where it ended. The Front Desk clerk was very unfriendly and... More

We really appreciate you taking the time to write such a glowing review about your experience with us. Often people are quick to complain when anything is wrong but never say anything when things are great. Having run at over 90% occupancy for the entire summer and speaking with guests on a daily basis about their experience it's hard to... More

Wow...where do I begin?? When checking in we were paying for 3 nights $600.00 with a credit card. Card was ran and the girl said that it was denied. She ran a 2nd time and knowing that the card balance was $0 it was denied again. Called credit card company and they said a purchase over the limit of $7000.00... More

After doing some research on your reservation I was able to see where the credit card was denied twice for the $600. It is our policy to have a valid form of payment at check-in to cover the entire stay. The customer service that you experienced in the bar is unacceptable and will be addressed. Sorry about your experience, Garrett... More

During a trip through northern Minnesota this summer, we found this hotel to be conveniently located near a couple of our stops. Because of this, we booked a king suite for our family of four for one night. While we’re not typically gamblers (especially with little kids in tow), we chose to book this hotel based on the overall reviews... More

We stayed the weekend in one of the newer rooms. The room itself was nice however the lighting was inadequate which makes getting dressed for a wedding difficult. Several of our party had the same problem. The housekeeping staff was nice, they brought us extra coffee and were always prompt. The main restaurant was a disappointment, food was delivered cold...

Thank you for the feedback as we are constantly trying to improve. We are aware of the lighting problem in certain room types. We are in the process of replacing the energy efficient light bulbs that we originally ordered with a different style. I have shared your feedback about the restaurant experience with the appropriate personal. Thank you, Garrett Lamppa... More
