The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent
"Our family really enjoyed the visit. The children loved the water park and of course the ice cream. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful, best I have encountered in a very long time. I especially want to give a huge shout out to the breakfast staff. They went above and beyond to accommodate the very very busy morning. It was a large crowd and they worked together to keep things moving, in a busy crowd."
