Holiday Homes in Big Lake

"Stayed 6 nights arriving on a Monday for check in. The weekday breakfast included a variety of gluten free and dairy free options. I was very impressed with the choices available for me. I was disappointed when Saturday/ Sunday arrived and the breakfast options were all gluten AND dairy based. I understand differences in weekend guests but the area where the hard boiled eggs, and fresh fruit had been available all week was not in use on the weekend. The hotel was very quiet throughout the week even with the influx of travel sports families on the weekend. The hot tub was spacious and relaxing. Overall, I would recommend with the advice that breakfast on the weekend is not allergy friendly."

"We found drug paraphernalia in our room sticky spilll all over the place including on the tv remotes, foot rest and the fridge. These was something spilled in the kitchen drawers and dirty dishes in the dish washer. The walls are f the shower were smeared with something . The hot tub was out of order the clerk said it was broken for a long time now(this is one reason we chose this hotel). There were people hanging outside our window until 4am being loud and walking around looking in vehicles. We will never be back to this place!!!!!!"

"Friendly, Helpful Staff"

"All good"

"Everything is old. "

"Ended up having to leave. Unbelievable unprofessional staff at check-in. Arrangement had been in place for us to pay at the property and for a late arrival the evening of check-in, approved that day. Arrived to check in and the room with my name attached had someone else in it with a $200 hold as well. Inquired about getting my name removed with someone else had checked in and was not me- staff said she must not have verified their ID and management would have to approve my name being removed, the staff member briefly left the counter to check the room and refused to give us a different room. She said you won’t be happy here you have to leave. She also did not remove my name from the room when I called the hotels corporate office I was still checked in the next morning. I demanded my name be removed from the room and the $200 hold removed under my name when I wasn’t the person utilizing the room. She said she needed management approval. We had to find another hotel at 11PM that night. Scary to say the least! uncertain we would be able to find another property with an open room so late. Another 10 minute drive to a different chain we got lucky. I filed a police report in case our money is not refunded. I would like to utilize the insurance I paid for, due to the inconvenience and for them not properly checking identification upon check in allowing some random person to be in a room with my name and credit card attached.

"Great place to stay. Clean , friendly,"

"Don’t ride the elevator. It is super sketchy And don’t bring kids there. We were with our kids the whole time and he went up to one of them and asked them which school district that they were with and he told our kids that they had terrible parenting, that they were bad kids, that he was going to tell his general manager to write a letter to our school district and tell them how bad our kids were, except they were not, we were nearby at all times, and no one was even acting up. This guy just doesn’t like kids. We were all sitting in the lobby watching the Timberwolves game. Nobody was being overly loud or disruptive. This is not a kid friendly hotel bring your kids anywhere else but here and we won’t be back ever. the beds were rock hard and I don’t get how people like the breakfast. It was cold.?"

"Rooms were clean but the bed mattress covers need to be taken off and washed. One room only had one towel in it but the man at the front desk was super friendly and helpful all weekend. The pool area had no pool towel at all. Not sure if they were available elsewhere but it should be stated if so. Hot tub and pool are nice. Rooms look newly renovated, love that it’s non-carpeted rooms!"
