It looks like they have all new carpeting throughout, updated furniture, etc. Nothing in our room, or the common areas is raggedy... much nicer than the Holiday Inn Express we stayed at the other night on the way! The staff is just plain awesome... friendly, helpful. We had some friends come to play in the pool, and while they charge a little bit for it, it's a pittance to get some swimming in when it's 26 degrees outside! The pool is good sized, and they have a changing/restroom area for outside guests. They also have a good-sized hot tub. All-in-all, this is my new go-to place to stay when we're in town.

Went with the family to the seafood buffet at St. Croix Casino Turtle Lake. It opens at 4pm, not…read moresure when it closes. The food was absolutely worth it. Prime rib, crab legs, lots of seafood, great salad bar. At 36 dollars per person with soft drinks included, very fair. Didn't try alcohol, so can't speak to that. But honestly, this is about the people. From the moment we arrived until the time we left, Desiree was on it. She wasn't just taking care of our table, she seemed to be everywhere, checking on guests, clearing tables, helping people, always with a great attitude. She noticed my elderly father was having some difficulty, and without being asked, helped him with his plate, condiments, and getting settled. The rest of the staff was warm and helpful too, including the carver, who was friendly and welcoming. One thing that stood out to me as a guest, we saw a table leave a pretty big mess, and it was a reminder to all of us to make things a little easier on the staff by stacking plates and consolidating where we can. Overall excellent food, outstanding value, but the customer service is what we'll remember. Desiree went above and beyond, and the whole team made our family outing enjoyable. Five stars.

I have a service dog, a chihuahua, and until I allowed them in my room and proved she wasn't using the floor as a toilet , they never came back with towels or to empty the trashes .

They also gave me one price on the phone and told they were out of single bed rooms and wanted to charge me an extra 20 dollars a night .

My wife and I stayed here one night. Booking was easy. It is located right off the highway, which…read moreis convenient. Upon arrival, the first thing we noticed is a strong chlorine smell. We knew immediately there was a pool. We checked into our room. It was clean. There was a jacuzzi in the room as well as the tub/shower in the bathroom. Our niece and nephew came for a visit and decided to use the pool. When we walked into the pool ares our eyes immediately started burning. The strong chlorine was causing people in the pool to cough. We left after a short time. There was way too much chlorine in the pool. The continental breakfast was about average, but good. The price was a little higher than I'm used to. The parking lot is small, and spots are not always available. This may be due to a large oarty that had booked the same time we were there. I will use this hotel again because it is in a convenient location.

On their BEST day they're a one star property. From the moment you step foot in the lobby you get the feeling that you might have made a poor decision. The lobby is very dated and they clearly put zero effort into making it a welcoming, cozy environment. I don't even know where to start... the service was sub par and very unprofessional, no friendliness at all. The room was their only one with an in room jacuzzi tub so we sprung for double the price of a regular room hoping for a little nicer accommodation. Again - very optimistic and poor decision. The room smelled moldy and old, and the jacuzzi tub was very old and stained with buttons that were literally rotting and falling off from rust. The tv stand was old and leaning to one side and about to fall apart, the tv didn't work and when we called the front desk for anything - it just rang and rang and no one answered. The furniture in the room smelled musty and we put towels over the chairs to sit down because we were so sketched out. The room as well as the property, are clearly never deep cleaned. The walls are thin and I think there are people living there long term because it was very loud at all hours, and a group congregating in the lounge and halls being very loud. We felt as though we were staying in a dorm for the night. We got up and went down at 6:35am for the complimentary breakfast and the place was still dark - even though we were told breakfast was from 6:30-9:30, so we waited an additional 15 min. We were so excited to get some coffee, only to find that at best, it was coffee flavored water. The trash bin (see pictures) was overflowing with garbage from the previous day(s) and smelled rotten. There were trays of semi frozen egg patties and sausage patties that you had to microwave yourself, stale cereal, watered down orange and apple juice and old donuts. There is a waffle machine but they must not ever really clean the griddle because the waffle tasted greasy and metallic, and I think the batter may have been old. The waffle was nasty. We left there and had coffee and breakfast elsewhere. The breakfast area consists of two worn out, rickety tables and chairs from about 1981. And to top it off, we paid a $50 deposit and they kept all of it because I happened to get a bad nose bleed during the night and got three tiny drops of blood on one of their cheap scratchy bath towels. $50 for one towel that they'll bleach and toss right back into the mix. On top of it, my body nose was from the horrible sinus infection I left there with after sleeping in a moldy damp room. If you like the kind of place where most customers probably pay by the hour, and you don't care about the hefty aroma of weed in the vestibule, then this is the place for you. If you want a clean, comfortable nights sleep and a fresh cup of coffee, keep driving. I would rather sleep in my car than stay here again. You've been warned.
