Location is great - easy to get to, right on the lake with many rooms that not only overlook the lake but have balconies that you can go out on. It was really nice to sit outside of my room and read while viewing and listening to the lake. There is a bike/walking trail that goes right past the hotel for an evening stroll, and the hotel even has bikes for rent. Plenty to do if you've got kids. This hotel has not only a beachfront/swimming area, but you can rent pontoons, kayaks as well. They have a playground area outside alongside the hotel. The pool area is spacious and has a small arcade area next to it. I didn't go to restaurant/lounge, so can't speak to it, but it's nice to have the option in-house. All of these amenities in total add up to what could be a amazing destination, and yet it just feels a bit tired and worn down. The carpeting in the hallways was not in good shape, and overall upkeep seems a little lacking.

Then after attempting to sleep in a room with more chlorine smell than the pool room itself. It opened at 8am. And there were screaming children immediately. When I complained when checking out, the clerk said, "that's a common complaint in that room, but our owners have instructed us to not give refunds, especially when they are full. I was offered an opportunity to leave a review, but I'm not complaining to this location where they will bury it in a drawer. There are at least 5 other chain hotels in Detroit Lakes. This one is not worth the cost at half price. DO NOT stay here. This place should be stripped of its affiliation with Holiday Inn.
