Top Opal Lake Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Gaylord

10/10 Excellent

"The property was very well maintained. We stayed in the pet friendly king suite. The room was very spacious and on the ground floor so the ceilings were high. Breakfast was included and the eating area was clean. Pool and hot tub were nice. Would definitely recommend staying here for families traveling with a dog."

Treetops Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property with outdoor pool . Didn’t have time to use it though . Beautiful redone shower"

The Waters Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was a traditional small motel room that met our needs for a stopover on a road trip. The room was a bit stuffy. It had amenities like in-room coffee and refrigerator. The office offered some snacks and additional toiletries. It was located across the street from a restaurant/bar but there was not much else around that you could walk to after being in a car all day."
