“Another great stay!”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

This was our second time staying here and we had a deal through crowdcut.com, which was excellent. We also were able to upgrade to the bunk bed room for the kids for a reasonable fee. Check-in was fast and friendly. The room was very clean and comfortable. We did notice the curtain for the kids room was pretty dirty, which... More

“excellent”

Reviewed 14 April 2013

Great front desk service, clean, close to bike trails and Gull Lake. Water park is small but still a nice add on if you have small kids. Property is well run. We already made plans to return with friends. Definitely recommend. Only wish they could add some full kitchen units.

Thank you for your review. I'm happy to hear that your stay was pleasant and look forward to your return in the near future. I agree, it would be nice to have some full kitchen units but if you are in need of any advice on eating out please don't hesitate to talk to the front desk. More

“Very noisy at night”

Reviewed 3 April 2013

The rooms are very noisy at night. You can hear everything in the halls and rooms next door. We even had the fan running to block out the noise. Twice we talked to the desk attendent about kids running in the halls at midnight. This went on until after 1am. The noisy people must have been important because when I... More

Thank you for your review and I am very sorry that you had to deal with unruly neighbors during your stay. I see that the overnight associate did their best to control the noise and it was our hope that the parents were going to take the initiative to control their children the second night, which of course they did...

“Dirty Rooms & Noisy”

Reviewed 24 March 2013

We stayed at this Hotel on Friday night and we were very disappointed. When we went to turn down the bed for the night we realized that there was shredded cheese on the bed. It was not ours and it was gross. It was noisy all night long and then in the morning we pulled out the chair from the... More

First I want to respond by saying Thank you for your review, it saddens me that your experience was not up to our expectations for guest room cleanliness and that a solution was not delivered when you brought it to the associate’s attention at check out. Let me take this time to sincerely apologize that your room was not in... More

“Nice size room, ok breakfast”

Stayed in 2 queen room which was a nice size. Bathroom was nicely tiled & clean. Exercise room had 2 treadmills & a bike. Not the best equipment but met my need to workout. Breakfast was ok - I've seen better but at least it was included. There is a fun looking water park at this hotel but I did... More

Thank you for your patronage to our facility! I’m happy to hear that overall you had a nice stay, next time you are in the area ask the Front Desk about FitQuest Athletic Club which as a guest you get free access. It will be a great experience to your workout. We will continue to look into ways to improve... More

“Waterpark fun”

Reviewed 7 March 2013

In the center of the Brainerd Lakes areas. Close to shopping areas. Nice accomodations. Waterpark is the best in the area for younger kids 6-12 range. Good mix of slides, pools, rivers and a bucket dump. Even a seperate hot tub area for adults.

Thank you for your review of our Waterpark in the Brainerd Lakes Area. We strive for excellence and I'm happy to see that you had fun at our facility and enjoyed our amenities at the Three Bear Waterpark. More
