Top The Lakes Hotel Reviews

Grand Casino Mille Lacs

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very nice the upgrades are all very nice. At reception we were greeted by a friendly agent who asked if we had a floor preference on floor. The casino was very clean and you don’t find a happy hour in a Casino very often. The restaurants we ate in were great and lots of choices at the buffet. We will be back!"

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Brainerd-Baxter by IHG

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and staff was helpful and friendly. It was fairly loud given there were a number of middle to high school sports teams there but that isn't unexpected for a hotel with a waterpark, just be aware when you book! Breakfast was good."

Baymont by Wyndham Baxter/Brainerd Area

8/10 Good

"We enjoy our stays at Baymont when we are in Baxter. Staff is very accommodating. And friendly. Lovely setting. Only downfall is Springtails during summer month. But since I now know they are harmless not a deal breaker. We stay here at least 3-4 times a year."
