"This is definitely a basic hotel. Very old and grungy. Thankfully we only slept here and there it. Breakfast was free, but could use some protein. Waffle maker, sliced bread, yogurt and cereal only. Room was dark and dirty. Very in need of an update. Staff was good. Hotel had constant marijuana smell and was run down. Nice location and glad the price wasn’t more than $75 a night."
"The King room I stayed in had been partially updated and was clean and comfortable. The mattress and bedding were comfortable and the room included a nice large tv and cable. The bathroom remodel was done poorly however and looked like someone slapped a plastic wall panel on top of the original tile shower wall and was held together cheaply with large amounts of caulk. The free breakfast looked good but I didn’t eat. The hallways of the hotel are dark, dingy and look very dated and off putting. There is also an hint of old smoke smell in the lobby, even though it is now a smoke free hotel. Overall, I thought the hotel was ok for the $135 I paid in June. The only other minor issue I had was I found a tick on the shower curtain (which is weird) and a good sized spider on the bathroom wall. There are nicer hotels in the area for a higher price, but if you are on a budget and want a basic hotel with mostly updated rooms in the Brainerd / Baxter area, this hotel is not a bad option."
"The bed was good. Toilet seat slid around almost fell off. Had to move the fridge to have a n outlet for the coffee pot. TV needed a pin to get service, called the help number they did not know what it was. Swimming pool was not accesibles was not told until the day before my reservation."
"Friendly staff ,nice accommodations, great place for the kids to stay and play in the water park area. We wish water was available with breakfast but we had to purchase it at the gift shop... that was the only thing we would like changed about our stay! Everything else was great!"
"We enjoyed our stay at Grand View Lodge! The grounds were lovely with plenty of opportunities for activities for all age groups. The buffet breakfast (added charge) was worth it!"
"The place is nasty , dusty, I slept in the couch, I woke up with severe skin rashes, I though my unit will have kitchen, no kitchen, when I asked they said their all taken, while you can clearly see vacant units. We have only one chance to order from the restaurant, the restaurant prices are astronomical. The only good thing is the landscape. Never ever go back there again."
