“Not Impressed!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I booked online early on the same day we would be staying at the hotel. I booked the room & then quickly received confirmation emails. My friend & I arrived late in the evening after a long day of driving & when I gave the woman behind the counter my name, she quickly informed me that there was no room for me. She told me that she didn't know why the website would book a room when they were full. I understand that mistakes happen, but I was mostly disturbed because she wasn't surprised by my arrival. The hotel receives a notification with the customer's information when someone books online. I am curious why she didn't call me right away to inform me that I didn't have a room. I assume that she was hoping I wouldn't show & she could still charge me for the room. Since this was a holiday weekend, my friend and I had a very hard time finding an available room for the night. Not impressed!

Room Tip: Call hotel after booking online!

“Stay in Brainerd and drive to Mille Lacs”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2011

We stayed here on a $50 per night Groupon - good thing we got a good deal as I would not have been happy had we paid more. The first rooms air conditioner was very loud and the rooms have had better days. The staff was very helpful but the hotel needs to be updated. I would recommend you find a hotel in Brainerd and drive the 20 minutes to launch on Mille Lacs in Garrison.

“Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed on a deal we got for a jacuzzi suite. The state parks in the area are closed because of the current government shutdown, but we thought we would keep the reservation instead of change it, partially to enjoy the jacuzzi. Well, the jacuzzi in the room didn't work. I told the person at the front desk. He said he couldn't do anything about it. He said I already had a cheap rate and there was nothing to be done. It appeared that he already knew the jacuzzi in that room did not work. Please don't advertise a special and then not follow through with your part of the deal.

The room was clean. There were only three pillows on the king sized bed. Four would have been nice. The blanket was worn. The walls were a bit thin. I could here the people in the room next door. No cable, but that is because of the rural location. The breakfast was adequate. Enhanced continental breakfast appears to be the fact that you can take a tray back to the room with you if you want to.

Room Tip: If you get a jacuzzi suite check right away to be sure it works.
