Top Bay Lake Hotel Reviews

Nisswa Hotel and Suites

8/10 Good

"Very clean room. Self service check in and out was very convenient. Comfortable beds. Spacious. Bathroom was small and the room lacked mirrors which made getting ready with multiple adults a challenge. Room came with a kitchenette but did not include a table or place to eat the meals."

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Baxter Brainerd Area

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and quiet. A little explosive for what they have to offer. We had been looking forward to using the hot tub. Unfortunately, it was shut down."

Rapid River Lodge

8/10 Good

"With Breakfast everything was out of order and tables were all dirty. Hotel staff was sitting behind front counter talking guest had to go ask for things including the omelettes that were kept in the freezer. When booking a room for 6 guestst they only include 4 wristbands the others you need to purchase. Staff in the waterpark was inconsistent one day my grandson was ok you use the big water slide being a 1/2 to short. The next day it was a no. He can't go down them."
