pool and hot tub were being remodeled. I'm okay with that. Not thrilled with the no attendant on duty. Couldn't figure out the tv. Wanted to watch the World Series. Spent an hr trying to find the channel. No go. No attendant to ask for help. Not sure if it was the heater but noisy at night. Check in clerk was very nice. But, no attendant at night.

The place was great a little pricey and we were told the pool and hot tub was working and when we got there it was not. A little disappointed about that as it was one of the reasons for our booking. Overall was a good stay. It did the job.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
One modest hiccup. Our rooms had two TVs and 3 different remotes. All 3 were on the same counter with no guides or operating instructions. Very confusing for a couple of technology challenged 80+-year-old seniors. All we wanted to do was watch a specific program on a live broadcast. Finally figured it out after 20 minutes of trial and error.

Change of ownership cited for very slow & cumbersone check in process. Room was large but didn’t feel clean. Didn’t feel that safe - there were a lot of dodgy characters hanging around the entrance smoking late at night. Including the receptionist….avoid if you have kids or teens.

The pool/spa area has been "out of order" the entire seven years I've been spending Labor Day weekend in Nisswa, which leads me to wonder if it ever worked at all. The mattress in my room (#117) must have been 40 years old, offered absolutely NO support at all, and sagged in all the wrong places. Accordingly, I'm going to have a back ache for about a week. Staff seemed friendly, and the surroundings were clean and well kept.

We went to check in at 4pm and our room wasn't ready. So we had to wait. They were dog friendly which was great. Expedia doesn't do much with communicating this need, which needs work, but glad they allowed us to have our best friend with us. The bathtub was clogged and filthy. After I cleaned it, it finally drained. Overall it's a good place, but does need some deep cleaning.
