Wadena

"I have stayed at this facility before and I am always please with how accommodating they are, how friendly the staff is and the rooms are clean, comfortable and they seem to always go a little over and above to make my stay better whether it is upgrading my room if they can, allowing me to check in a little bit early so I don't have to sit and wait in my car, and allowing for late checkouts at last minute or in one case having to book an extra night due to a snow storm. I have been very happy...

Top Detroit Lakes Hotel Reviews

Fargo Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"Older inn & suites and the room reflects that. Clean and the service was great. Breakfast was a plus have a waffle they are awesome. Having different room ac was also a plus."

Expressway Suites Fargo

8/10 Good

"Very straightforward, simple place. The check in was the easiest I’ve experienced in a while and I loved that the tv was so simple. The beds were comfy enough to make up for the “meh” pillows. Only issues we had were the tub wouldn’t drain and the room was really dirty under the couch. I’d stay again. Also, the pool is cold if that matters to anyone. Not a huge deal."

AmericInn by Wyndham Detroit Lakes

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is not a newer hotel. With that said it’s one of the cleanest hotels I’ve ever been in! I tried to find dust because I thought it looks so clean and I could not find any! It’s a small hotel which was nice to get around to the pool breakfast in and out to our car. One of the things I noticed right away was we couldn’t hear anything when we were in our room so many hotels today you can hear your neighbors through the walls. We could not hear a thing. The free breakfast was the typical free breakfast, but I will tell you they kept refilling and there was plenty to eat. We enjoyed our stay very much."

Beachfront Haven

10/10 Excellent

"Beachfront Haven is a hidden gem - right across the street from the lake and convenient to restaurants, bars and shops. We stayed in the two bedroom suite and it was perfect for our group. If you like a retro vibe - with a beautifully renovated and furnished room- this is it. We loved the small and personal aspect of this motel. Beds were comfortable, as was the living room furniture. Towels were new and soft- Aveda products and handmade soap was an unexpected bonus. Loved having a kitchenette and coffee shop on premise. If you are looking for a unique stay and want to avoid the chain hotels- this is it! Lovely staff as well."
