Top Spencer Hotel Reviews

Wild Rose Casino & Hotel Emmetsburg

10/10 Excellent

"It was very clean and modern. The rooms were spacious! We stayed 1 night while passing through from okoboji and it was nicer than we expected."

Ramada by Wyndham Spirit Lake/Okoboji

10/10 Excellent

"The staff went above expectations to provide a personal touch for our stay. They were friendly, provided recommendations in the area for walking and dining and offered assistance in our room (a nightlight and ADA accommodations). The staff checked with us to see that we had what we needed, making the stay very pleasant. The room temperature was appropriate and could be adjusted by us. The indoor pool was nice to have, but on one occasion was too cold for our liking. If you plan to use the pool, I suggest letting the manager know the day ahead of time to be sure the temperature is set to your comfort level. We may stay here again if we return to the area to visit."

AmericInn by Wyndham Okoboji

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was one of the best ever. Every choice you could imagine and plenty of each. The fruit was fresh, which is usually not the case when a bowl is set out at other hotels. I was late getting down at 9:55 a.m. and the desk gal said “Take as much time as you need; I can wait.“ So kind to accommodate me."

Village West Resort & Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We only had time for a 2 day visit to Iowa's great lakes. Mit Chaudri and the staff were phenomenal! In spite of a prebooked wedding party and associatesld events, one room was reserved for us. We loved the room, and delicious full breakfast. We were relaxed and grateful! We will be back next spring!"
