"No air conditioning, no ice maker, very loud location, horrible communication to try and call to verify booking. Checking in you need to go to another building to get your key. Dirty tub. Bed was ok, pillows horrible - bring your own. Don’t stay there with kids, they won’t sleep well."
"The hotel was clean. Was looking forward to relaxing and watching TV after a long trip. The TV was not working. I called a number for the hotel and got an AI response, I left a message detailing the problem with the TV, and left room number and my phone number. At no time did any one contact me or come to the room to remedy the problem. There was no one else at the Hotel that was working. I was not happy about that."
"The positive: They mow the lawns and have irrigation to keep the landscape looking good. Yes, that is the only positive.
The negatives: The room smelled like musty wet carpet. The carpet was so disgusting it made you want to keep your shoes on. If you lock your key in the room you better do it during office hours, or you will sleeping in your truck for the night. No emergency # on the door. I wanted to check out before 8am, apparently you can’t. No key drop, or other way to checkout before a human arrives.
On site restaurant: I had the smothered chicken, one breast was ok, the other tasted like I was chewing on a raw breast, it was impossible to chew it was so rubbery. The bartender eventually asked how everything was, after I was sitting there finished for 10 minutes (I sat at the bar). I told him about the breast and he stated “really, it’s usually one of the best on the menu” ,rung up my ticket and handed it to me. The actual server who took my order apparently dislikes his job, had no personality and never came back to see how the meal was.
Onto the worse of the worse, the boat ramp, if you want to call it that, was without exaggeration at a 45 degree angle once your trailer hit the water. I was told they just fixed it!! Never have I experienced this, nor would I have used it if they would have let me know prior to backing in. I seriously think it tweaked my trailer. There is so much more and more details that could be provided, but only 1500 characters are allowed."
"They didn’t have a daily continental breakfast as Expedia said. They.dont start till Memorial Day. Disappointed that I was given the wrong information. I would have stayed somewhere else. Also the property is on a gravel road. Not a great place for a nice car"
"We had a wonderful experience! The only thing was there being so many buildings, it was challenging trying to find where we were supposed be! Very friendly staff! I would definitely go back!"
"I really have no complaints. Your lodge is amazing. Not like regular hotels. It is unique, beautiful inside and out. I love all the wood, it gives a warm feel to the place. Makes you WANT to come back. Cozy feel to the place.
Staff was great, first person I saw, was Sarah. Very up beat, friendly and takes great care of your needs.
Breakfast food pretty much of a wide selection for whatever you may want. Neat, clean and orderly. They come often to check that they don't run out. Delicious!!
Our room was beautiful, clean. Nice view of the area outside. Well taken care of. Clean bathroom, spotless!
Dont have to go far to park your car and go into the building. Grounds pretty. I would so love to go to Whitefish Lodge in Crosslake again!!
Stayed here in May of 2026 Deb M."
