Top Bay Lake Hotel Reviews

Quarterdeck Resort & Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"Great views from resort rooms and several of the cabins. The whole resort was newer with top notch facilities. Awesome place. I wasn’t super impressed with the friendliness and hospitality of the staff at both the bar and restaurant and front desk. They were fine but definitely could be improved. It would definitely improve the experience to hire more outgoing and friendly bartenders and staff."

The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay loads of fun!"

Super 8 by Wyndham Baxter/Brainerd Area

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and staff were professional. The downside was the breakfast which I would describe as sparse and bland. We made ourselves a waffle and had some watered-down juice and plain tea. The only other offerings were bananas and packaged muffins."

Nisswa Hotel and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The room felt so cozy and comfortable. Will you sure plan on staying again!"

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Baxter Brainerd Area

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and quiet. A little explosive for what they have to offer. We had been looking forward to using the hot tub. Unfortunately, it was shut down."

Rapid River Lodge

8/10 Good

"With Breakfast everything was out of order and tables were all dirty. Hotel staff was sitting behind front counter talking guest had to go ask for things including the omelettes that were kept in the freezer. When booking a room for 6 guestst they only include 4 wristbands the others you need to purchase. Staff in the waterpark was inconsistent one day my grandson was ok you use the big water slide being a 1/2 to short. The next day it was a no. He can't go down them."
