Get Away!!

Had a couple's get away. Room was awesome, very quiet, awesome balcony, a large soaker tub in the room. Very clean lobby and room. Was there Friday until Monday morning. There was a teenage girls hockey team staying as well, the room was still quite. Sunday night we basically had the whole hotel to ourselves. The ones working the front desk went beyond and had offered and prepared breakfast for us. That was so amazing. The service was exceptional!! Also booked a couple's massage at the spa that is in the hotel. They provided exceptional customer service as well. All around great stay.

LOVED this property

We LOVED our stay! We came to Detroit Lakes for a little family weekend trip and could not have picked a better lodging option. The rooms were clean and the property very well taken care of. The service was top notch. The nightly smores bar, continental breakfast, and little touches here are there were just enough to make it feel like an above and beyond stay!
