We stayed at the Magnuson on the way to NC. We were traveling with our dog and this hotel had good reviews. The room was very clean and quiet. Our only problem was the lady at the front desk the night we checked in. We were given a room on the 2nd floor and with having a puppy it was... More

I reserved a room at this hotel even though some of the reviews were not very good. I found the Magnuson an excellent place at any price. The room was immaculate, furnishings like new, very comfortable bed with Egyptian cotton linens (oh so soft), fresh clean air not smelling of room deoderizer and heating/cooling system so quiet that I was...

My family & I have been staying at this hotel almost every Fall for over 30 years. It has been owned and managed by the same family in all that time. Everyone connected with the facility is just as friendly and helpful as can be. The rooms are always exceptionally clean and well cared for. The desk person has always... More

We went to this hotel because it sounded wonderful. However, when we got there the room was terrible. No A/C unit expect for a small window unit covered in mold. The bathroom you could not move in and spider webs were everywhere. This was enough to make my allegies go crazy, so we left. The price of the room was... More

My credit card was charged by both Travelocity and the hotel for the same 3 nights I stayed there. I had to make several call for several days and talk to unhelpful staff to get my money refunded for the double charge. By the way, refund takes abou two weeks. More egregious is the double rate. Travelocity charged me $77... More

We were pleased to find a very clean room with all of the basics including continental breakfast. Strategic landscaping gives a sense of privacy in close proximity to convenient businesses. There is a large yard area, picnic tables, and dock. Pleasant, cheerful color scheme. Just right for a family budget!!!

This is an older Best Western on the banks of the Muskegim River near downtown. It was clean and adequte, but not updated recently. You could walk down to the river for a stroll, cook out on one of their grills, sit at picnic tables, or go next door to Wendy's for a quick bite. The local water park and... More

When I arrived to check in, everything was fine and the front desk lady was very pleasant and helpful. However, when I got into my room, it was dirty and smelled like a bar. There was an odor of booze and cigarettes that I almost could not bear. The in-wall A/C unit was musty and smokey, and I couldn't stand... More
