Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms facing the forest were peaceful and spacious with a small kitchenette, though it did get uncomfortably hot at times. The service was friendly and helpful, offering amenities like dry cleaning and a free airport shuttle. The location was convenient, close to restaurants and attractions like the Brainerd International Raceway. The dining options were limited, but the Italian pasta was enjoyable. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.
I was pleasantly surprised by the early check-in option, despite the room layout not being exactly what I expected. The hotel is a bit far from the water park, yet it offers cozy accommodations with a subtle cinema room vibe that adds a touch of uniqueness to the stay.
