The lodge has extremely went down, especially in cleanliness!!! As a family group booking several rooms, we all commented how dirty the rooms were they stunk there was mold on the ceiling, just awful!! The pool is a whole Nother story. There was grimy slime under the climbing logs that kids climb on and hang on the rope. There were sand in the pool, not cleaned at all, obviously for a long time short staffed and lifeguards were on their phones. As of family group of several of us we used to come every year unfortunately this will be our last year due to the terrible circumstances overall

Everything was ok. till we went to eat and only the bar was open. Loud, yelling men at the bar made eating and conversing impossible. Then we had a long day and needed to sleep. They put children up on the 4th floor and we were on the 3rd. The noise and stopping back and forth continually in the room above us till midnite. We only got like 5 hrs of sleep and had to be on our way. Breakfast was no good, freezer burn on some frozen little sausage patties, the so called microwave omlets were like paper with peppers in. Bad breakfast. I would never return and the price for such conditions was ridiculous. Sorry for such a rotten review, but it was bad.

Over priced, very dated, and only one waffle maker for ALL the families with kids?! The free breakfast was ‘fine’ if you didn’t mind wandering thru the property to find it and then, once there, investigating all the different restaurant nooks to find the different stations for the pieced together breakfast. The water ‘park’ was a joke! Would have been better with a regular pool.

The bathroom in our room was not cleaned well - the vents which were easily within cleaning reach had sooo much dust and the shower had several old pieces of hair in it. Give me a duster and I would have dusted it myself and it would have taken 30 seconds maximum. The room seemed clean enough but with a lot of missing scrapes of paint on the wall. It was nice the restaurant was on site and the food was good - the continental breakfast very standard and average for a free hotel meal. Water park was okay- pretty chilly actually and the “lifeguards” spent alot of time looking down at their phones

This hotel was terrible, under staffed. When I checked in I said I would only be staying 1 night the front desk staff was very unfriendly, didn't know how to do her job. And on top of it they charged me for my complete booking, even though I only stayed 1 night. So don't stay here terrible management go to another location in Brainerd there is plenty others to choose from!!!! On top of it very dirty.
