Top Brainerd Hotel Reviews

The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

6/10 Okay

"Thin walls, I could hear the baby crying next door at 7am. Our shower curtain was missing the liner, they installed the swimsuit wire upside down, so we were unable to dry swimsuits properly, only 2 were clothes for a 4-member stay, the towels didn't match, one of the beds was pretty squeaking, a fair amount of sand in the pools, which makes the pool think it isn't kept up. Pool staff is a bunch of teenagers and aren't very engaging or readily available when needed."

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."

Maddens On Gull Lake

8/10 Good

"The Mission Point restaurant was wonderful and the staff and service were great. The check-in was smooth and our room was very nice and clean. The Fairway restaurant was very disappointing. Husband ordered a chicken Caesar wrap and it came without the chicken. The server observed it and said they were terribly busy and would put in for another one! I ate , we waited nothing came. The waiter brought a to - go container thinking we got it ! He apologized and said he check on it! After a hour passed we said to just bring the bill. We were charged for it anyway and the server was so busy we never saw him again. We just paid the $63.00 and my husband went without a meal. Apparently, very short staffed."
