Grand View Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great place"

AmericInn by Wyndham Baxter Brainerd

6/10 Okay

"The King room I stayed in had been partially updated and was clean and comfortable. The mattress and bedding were comfortable and the room included a nice large tv and cable. The bathroom remodel was done poorly however and looked like someone slapped a plastic wall panel on top of the original tile shower wall and was held together cheaply with large amounts of caulk. The free breakfast looked good but I didn’t eat. The hallways of the hotel are dark, dingy and look very dated and off putting. There is also an hint of old smoke smell in the lobby, even though it is now a smoke free hotel. Overall, I thought the hotel was ok for the $135 I paid in June. The only other minor issue I had was I found a tick on the shower curtain (which is weird) and a good sized spider on the bathroom wall. There are nicer hotels in the area for a higher price, but if you are on a budget and want a basic hotel with mostly updated rooms in the Brainerd / Baxter area, this hotel is not a bad option."

Causeway on Gull

8/10 Good

"When we arrived to check in we were notified by the staff that we’d have to change cabins the next day. They said it’s because the resort is a timeshare and the owner wants to use the cabin we’re staying in the next day. They said they’d move us to cabin 13. We asked why we couldn’t go to cabin 13 and they said because it’s not clean yet. I suspect that we were supposed to be in cabin 13 originally but they didn’t get it clean in time. This made our two night stay not so relaxing. We already had to navigate around some events we had to attend, and then we had to take the time to move into a second cabin the next day, including unloading and reloading the fridge. You’d think they would try to make up for this inconvenience, but no, they only offered to allow us to cancel our stay and find somewhere else to stay last minute."
