Top Telef Paulson Wildlife Management Area Hotel Reviews

AmericInn by Wyndham Baxter Brainerd

8/10 Good

"First, the woman at the daytime front desk was extremely helpful in every way. We were with family for a wedding. We flew into Mpls 2 days early and drove to Baxter. Check in went smoothly. The desk clerk was able to accommodate our request for all 3 rooms to be on the same floor, in spite of a high capacity weekend. The rooms are basic. It is obvious that the hotel is older and a bit worn. Our room smelled mildly of smoke when we entered (non smoking room) but overall wasn’t bothersome. The bed was comfortable and the room quiet at night. Temp is controlled by a unit in the wall which was adequate, though loud. We found the breakfast to be very complete with a wide variety of choices. The location of the hotel is very convenient to all kinds of restaurants and shopping. We were looking for a group activity on Friday and the desk clerk mentioned the Haunted Trails event at the Northland Arboretum. Our family group included a 15 year old, 7 year old and 4 year old. We followed her suggestion and attended that event on Friday night and had a blast!"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Baxter, MN

10/10 Excellent

"My room faced a Circle K and the Window "curtains" were not good enough to block out the signage. I do not believe the window treatments were good enough to darken the room. Otherwise great place. Best "free motel" breakfast ever!"

Baymont by Wyndham Baxter/Brainerd Area

"Clean room, comfy beds"

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Baxter Brainerd Area

The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

"The water park and staff were great, the property is in need of an upgrade"

Super 8 by Wyndham Baxter/Brainerd Area

8/10 Good

"Older hotel, but clean. Convenient location, even with construction. Beds were rather soft and breakfast was OK."

Cabin on Rice Lake access to Mississippi River 1 bedroom/1 bath sleeps 4

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin is cozy. Not sterile feeling, but a "lived-in" feel is probably the best way to describe it. It was clean. The queen bed was quite nice. It's got a memory foam feel to it and my wife and I slept on it comfortably. We are used to a select number bed at home, so I was surprised at how nice we did sleep. The best part of this cabin is the view. Absolutely wonderful. I would say the only down side is the random noise disrupting the quietness. Neighbor's dog barking, Brainerd's train at 0600, and artillery impact concussions from Camp Ripley at random. Obviously these things are out of the owners control and by all means, don't plan your trip around noise. I basically have nothing bad to say so that's my only complaint. We would highly recommend."
