Top Bay Lake Hotel Reviews

Nisswa Hotel and Suites

4/10 Poor

"Not even close to how place was presented on Expedia. Garbage piled up at entrances no security at door entrance. Unit described as grand suite and as 2 separate hotel rooms with connecting door. Small fridge that barely closed and stove top that did not work. Light did not work nor did remote for tv. Asked for help and was referred to support staff who said “ stove would not be in there if did not work.” Later she finally came to room and could not get to work either. DO NOT BOOK UNKESS YOU WANT TO STAY IN PIT and ONLY PAY 50$"

AmericInn by Wyndham Baxter Brainerd

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk member was pleasant and greeted me with a smile. Housekeeping staff did an amazing job when requesting a later clean time for my room when staying multiple nights. A very nice variety of breakfast items to choose from (eggs, meat, biscuits, gravy, cereal, muffins/bread, pancakes, waffles, yogurt, milk, juice, and coffee/tea). Hotel is convenient walking distance to grocery/liquor store and great sushi/ramen restaurant."

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Baxter Brainerd Area

8/10 Good

"Outside the hotel needs some cement work done on porch supports. The room I had was clean and nice. The floor on the second floor was soft in front of the elevator; Breakfast is not included, just coffee. The hotel was nice, but in need of repairs by the owner. The staff was very friendly and helpful."

Baymont by Wyndham Baxter/Brainerd Area

6/10 Okay

"The site is very worn. Definitely needs revamping. Not terribly clean: carpets worn, upholstery worn. Paint needs touching up. Pools not monitored or very clean. A group of young teenage boys were in the pool unsupervised and throwing a ball around hitting into our group with a young child, Our relatives asked to move rooms when theirs smelled like dog pee and they found a tick on the wall."

Maddens On Gull Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful lakefront property. Enjoyed our one night stay in the Mission Point section. Would request first floor next time in this section if traveling with young children or a senior as there is no elevator. Very nice updated unit overlooking the lake on the 2nd floor with a huge balcony. We enjoyed visiting the smaller beach in the Mission Point section and getting drinks from the indoor bar in the restaurant right next to the beach. We liked exploring all of the different sections and could easily spend several days enjoying all of the different onsite activities. The Strawberry Ridge section pool could use some updating. The children's wadding pool had a strange color and the whole pool area could use some renovations. The other outdoor pool near the lobby is beautiful, but did not have a wading pool for our little one so we did not use this. Good food onsite. Typical prices for large resorts in northern Minnesota. Very friendly staff. Looking forward to future stays!"

Quality Inn & Suites Brainerd

2/10 Terrible

"It smelled like smoke when we walked in. Gentleman at front desk was very kind & accommodating. We went to check out the room and immediately knew we wouldn’t be staying. Didn’t even bring our bags in - left and got a room at the Holday Inn. I have NEVER walked out of a hotel but it just wasn’t a good feeling by any of the 4 in our party."
