Good Ol' Days Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff! Nice location. Great views of the lake."

The Lodges at Breezy Point

2/10 Terrible

"Highly recommend not staying here, as there are much better options for the price. The booking was misleading, as photos made it look like I was booking one of the lakeside condos, but ended up in the poolside area as other reviewers mentioned. This alone wouldn't have been a big deal, but the room was unreasonably hot and humid when I got there, wallpaper was peeling off as other reviews mention, the bed/bedding was very old and uncomfortable, the tub was dirty, and the shower made a high pitched squealing noise the entire time it was on. The deadbolt on the door also wouldn't lock, as the door was misaligned. I ended up checking out early and finding other accommodations for the rest of my stay. It sounds like many of the rooms/buildings are now owned by a timeshare company, and they have not put any effort into updating or maintaining the rooms."

Nisswa Hotel and Suites

4/10 Poor

"Not even close to how place was presented on Expedia. Garbage piled up at entrances no security at door entrance. Unit described as grand suite and as 2 separate hotel rooms with connecting door. Small fridge that barely closed and stove top that did not work. Light did not work nor did remote for tv. Asked for help and was referred to support staff who said “ stove would not be in there if did not work.” Later she finally came to room and could not get to work either. DO NOT BOOK UNKESS YOU WANT TO STAY IN PIT and ONLY PAY 50$"

Pelican Lakes Motel

2/10 Terrible

"On a hot day, late check-in, no air conditioning, instead the baseboard heat was on. Turned the thermostat off but it stayed warm until morning. Very poorly lit premises and hallway/entrance and it stunk like musty smoke. Nothing on the website(s) indicated you have to go a half a block away to check in to get the key, and it would have been very difficult to find that place in the dark had we not randomly run into another guest. There was barely enough shampoo there to wash your hands, and no hot water early in the morning. Not a good way to welcome your guests! After reading other similar reviews one can see for the most part these things are not being addressed! Next time we pass this way we won’t stay here! What a dingy, creepy place!"
