Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Stacy H wrote a review Sept 2023
Anoka, Minnesota59 contributions27 helpful votes
the room was very clean and up-to-date. Halls neat and clean. No strange smells. Very clean. everything worked. Just didn't have USB hook ups (forgot my cube). If you have kids the rooms connected to the pool area would be great. If you like dark and quiet at night I would highly recommend requesting NOT to have those types of rooms. Bed was comfortable, but the pillows weren't for me. (I usually bring my own, but decided not to for one night). The place was extremely clean and everything worked. Staff was so nice!!

Responded 12 Sept 2023
Thank you for your kind review 274stacyh! If you stay again, please contact the front desk if you don't like our pillows, as we have a few options that may work better. And thank you for mentioning the USB ports as we're looking at some additional options for that. As you know, all of our lamps in the rooms have outlets on them that work well with the cube charges, but we understand todays demands include usb ports as well! Thanks again!

Hotel's Favourite
We were actually very impressed with how nice this hotel was for being as far out as it was. The staff was very nice and got us checked in quickly and our room was extremely clean. We wish we would’ve had the time to check out the bar and grill they had as the food looked very good. Our only complaint was the bed was a little firm.

Had a poolside room for the kids to swim. There was even a shallow kiddie pool and hot tub. Pool is a bit discolored, stained and in need of a few repairs but overall a nice place to bring the kids for a weekend.

Rooms were tiny. Bedding smelled like dirty hair even after asking for new bedding. Refrigerator broken. GM replaced refrigerator after 2nd night. The hotel is nice but the rooms are small and old. Needs updating.

Pool was not heated and the staff was rude and arrogant about it when we shared our concerns. The rooms were nice and the beds comfortable. Had we known that we couldn't have a birthday party around the pool area for our 12 family members to celebrate a 3 year old, we would NOT have chosen this hotel.

Tkletscher~ I am so sorry to read this review as well as the survey you completed online as it appears we did a poor job of addressing any of your concerns. I will certainly follow up with our team to address how you felt they treated you. Regardless of policies, and you are correct, we don't allow food or beverages in glass containers in our pool area, we certainly could have conveyed that in a way that didn't seem rude to you. I know the team offered the breakfast area as an option for your group to gather/eat and I'm sorry that you didn't feel that was a fair option. As I mentioned, I will share your feedback with our team to review how we could have handled things better so that you didn't leave her feeling this way. Thank you for sharing your feedback!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean room and comfortable bed and pillows. Was very quiet as well. Having a restaurant attached has fast service, friendly staff, and good food. Always enjoying staying here on business trips.

The staff was very helpful and accommodating. It was nice to have a bar and a restaurant connected, and having the extended pool hours with area to hang out was even better! They were great at putting me in a room close to a door where I could easily bring out my dog, but it wasn't a crappy pet room like you'd expect.

I got stuck in town with all road leading out in any direction having enforced road closures. I was so rattled and a little scared but the man at the front desk was so kind and helped me figure out a few hiccups to make sure o had a warm and safe place to stay. The breakfast is the best I have ever had at a hotel. The pool area was open clean and very relaxing. Very large hot tub, cute kiddie pool, and nice pool with rooms that had view of the area if you wanted to watch your family from there. One of the cleaning staff was wearing a cute elf outfit playing Christmas music and made my unplanned stay alone feel a little more Christmas-y so I didn’t feel like I was missing out on Christmas completely. The man at the front desk was so hospitable I wish I knew his name, he deserves very high praise and recognition.
