Top Bay Lake Hotel Reviews

AmericInn by Wyndham Baxter Brainerd

8/10 Good

"Convient location"

Rapid River Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, a very nice stay!"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Baxter, MN

8/10 Good

"I've stayed here a few times now and my only complaint is the bathrooms. The shower only has a half panel wall, so you're showering in cold air. The shower floors are slippery and the low flow rainshower head takes quite a while to wash my hair."

Quarterdeck Resort & Restaurant

8/10 Good

"Staff appears to be very busy, if you can find one. We were left at our dinner table after eating that I finally walked to find someone so I could pay my bill I requested teaspoons and never received. And no little station for emergency products, such as female products, batteries, aspirin, bandaids and such. You can charge for those items The front desk is not always staffed you have to read their notebook for all your information No breakfast"

The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"It was our first time staying"

Quality Inn & Suites Brainerd

8/10 Good

"Price and amenities were good for the price. Staff was helpful"

Nature Link Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This property was perfect and I would stay again!"

Baymont by Wyndham Baxter/Brainerd Area

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice breakfast and such a sweet lady preparing it. We had 4 small children and she was super patient with the kids and just busy"

Nisswa Hotel and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"At first we were a little taken aback that there was no front desk clerk. But the owners texted us our individual door code which was also the same as our room code. They seemed to be very responsive as they replied to my “thank you”. That gave me some assurance that we could get a hold of someone, if needed. The room was updated and clean. Nice large screen tv, a good fridge, and comfy beds and pillows. Maybe I felt the carpet could’ve used replacing but everything was in overall excellent condition. We did not use the pool facilities or breakfast as we were visiting family in the area. It’s just a short drive to the grocery, walkable during the day. And another short drive to the downtown Nisswa area. Everything looked clean and bright! I’ll post some pics I took—forgot to take one of the room though! It was a pleasant stay & was within our budget. Would return again!"
