Nisswa Hotel and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very easy check in. Staff was helpful with all questions and concerns."

Cragun's Resort & Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"The Lodge is 20 years old and it looks that old BUT it is very well maintained. The oly issue I had was that the bed mattresses were old and squeaky. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The water park was so fun! We will stay again the next time we are in Baxter."

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Baxter Brainerd Area

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and quiet."

AmericInn by Wyndham Baxter Brainerd

8/10 Good

"First, the woman at the daytime front desk was extremely helpful in every way. We were with family for a wedding. We flew into Mpls 2 days early and drove to Baxter. Check in went smoothly. The desk clerk was able to accommodate our request for all 3 rooms to be on the same floor, in spite of a high capacity weekend. The rooms are basic. It is obvious that the hotel is older and a bit worn. Our room smelled mildly of smoke when we entered (non smoking room) but overall wasn’t bothersome. The bed was comfortable and the room quiet at night. Temp is controlled by a unit in the wall which was adequate, though loud. We found the breakfast to be very complete with a wide variety of choices. The location of the hotel is very convenient to all kinds of restaurants and shopping. We were looking for a group activity on Friday and the desk clerk mentioned the Haunted Trails event at the Northland Arboretum. Our family group included a 15 year old, 7 year old and 4 year old. We followed her suggestion and attended that event on Friday night and had a blast!"
