Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Brainerd-Baxter by IHG

6/10 Okay

"Room wasn’t too bad, no fans in the bathroom and no security cameras on the exterior of the building"

Quality Inn & Suites Brainerd

2/10 Terrible

"Hands down one of the worst hotels i have ever walked into. Our non smoking room had the maintnence staff in it watching TV in a cloud of cigarettes when we walked in. Got another room upstairs that the Air conditioning did not work, lights half worked, and the bed had hairs in the pillows. AVOID AT ALL EXPENSE!!!!!"

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!"
