Rapid River 2 Stars Hotels

"This hotel has a retro aesthetic. It is slightly awkward, yet cozy overall. It had a full size coffee pot but only a four cup coffee pod available for use. The coffee pot was set appropriately on a table near an outlet but the outlet didn’t t work. The hair dryer appeared to be a wall unit but it was set in the bedroom dresser drawer. The bathroom appeared freshly painted yet there were paint streaks and specks all over the vanity. There were two shampoos set out rather than a shampoo and conditioner and the lotion was partially used. The lighting included an overhead light and a single lamp, making it only very bright or very dark. It feels like a blend of the past with a few elements of the new—a pieced together array forming an overall unit that is functional but not user convenient. Positively it’s very clean. The staff person was very friendly. It was physically warm (yet with only an on or off option regarding temperature control). Not within the hotel’s control—my sleep was interrupted around 3:00 a.m. by a local train that made a good deal of noise too early. The train kicked up again around 5:00 a.m. so slept wasn’t great. Lastly, the hotel staff appear to leave at midnight (per their signage/information) due to staffing shortages. I think I may have been the only person in the entire hotel after the front desk person left at midnight, which was kind of uncomfortable, yet I still stayed. It was okay overall but I’m not sure I’d stay again especially at the cost. "

"Tried to stay local to save money and travel time, but none of that happened here. The pool and spa was closed even though they offered it online and on the sign directly outside the building. Our toilet didnt work in our first room. So we were offerd the key to the room next door to use the bathroom. Just to find saw dust and hair in that bathroom. We have stayed here in the past and had great experience. But not this time. Things sure have changed at the super 8 for the worse within 1 year. "

"Pool was fabulous. Not sure why it opens later. But great stay all around"

"Plenty of fast food nearby."

"Room was very clean and well set up. I would highly recommend Budget Inn "

"If you need a minimalistic, clean, simple, no frills, place to stay that is an excellent value and located close to everything, this is a great place. We loved the store next door, they literally have everything one could need, and prepare really good fresh pasty's that are hot and ready and deli sandwiches. It is a mini grocery store, they have non ethanol premium on the pump. I was very happy with our stay there. The owners and employees are very kind people as well. "

"Clean rooms, staff was super friendly and very accommodating. "

"Overall a great stay! We stayed during the record blizzard a week ago. We were due to check out on Monday and after packing up our stuff and trying to head out for a snowmobile ride it was clear we weren’t going anywhere! A quick call to the front desk and I was met with nothing but friendly helpfulness!!! All guests were already assumed to be staying and not checking out. The answer to my second question came as a pleasant surprise, “is by chance the restaurant open?” It was!!!! We trekked our way across the snow filled parking lot to get some lunch. Another surprise! “Come on in, what would you like to drink? We’ve got food for everyone. We are all in the same boat, might as well make the best of it.” Not only were we able to stay in our room, they were providing us with food and non-alcoholic drinks!!! And let me tell you, this wasn’t just let’s see what we can find food, it was a delicious spread!!!! Dinner was another, all different than lunch, delicious spread!!! Breakfast the next morning was more than the normal provided breakfast. We were able to dig out on Tuesday with the help of plow trucks and a group digging effort from several hotel guests working together. Are there some things about the rooms that are a bit dated? Yes. Was the wall heating/cooling unit a bit loud? yes. Was my room clean? YES! Was the bed comfortable? YES! The best part of our stay though was the exceptionally friendly, caring, helpful staff! We will stay again 😊"
