"No matter where we travel in the U.S., this hotel chain is very even keel with its standards across all the Holiday inns we have stayed at. It’s a budget hotel that is
family friendly
, clean, and dependable for a decent stay. We appreciate the free breakfast, although it can be subpar in the quality. The beds are comfortable enough, with multiple pillows to choose from, hopefully finding one that isn’t horrible. This last one we went to had a small water park, which was nice. The water...

"We stayed here in March and it was very quiet. I didn’t realize when I booked it that the bar/restaurant was closed early in the week. We stayed Tuesday-Thursday, and I believe the restaurant opened up on Thursday or Friday evening. Overall, a nice place to go relax with your
family
and friends. We were there on business and there was no where to go to work on my laptop, so had to drive into a coffee shop in Nisswa. Also, there was no where in our room to work either. "

"Convenient and affordable stay for a short trip! Decent option for free breakfast and comfortable beds. Love this option for when we need to bring our dog since they are pet friendly. Drawbacks is that our room smelled like cigarette smoke even though it's supposedly no-smoking and the towel rack was broken off the wall. Otherwise, everything was fine and we'd stay again for a quick stay passing through. "

10/10 Excellent
"For the price property was nice. Very clean, rooms were spacious and like the smaller water park. It is dated and needs some refreshing. The included breakfast was not worth it, but they rarely are."
