Top Central Minnesota Hotel Reviews

My Place Hotel - Shakopee MN

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay, rooms were clean, comfortable and affordable"

The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"Staff were all so nice and helpful. My daughter and I stayed for 3 nights and she absolutely loved it. It was a 17th birthday trip for her and the location was perfect, close to alot of shopping and restaurants. The outdoor hot tub was perfect with the cooler air temps only downfall was the life guards rarely check it and alot of little kids with no parents goofing off there."

Cragun's Resort & Hotel

8/10 Good

"We think the history of Cragun's is really neat. We enjoyed the views from our room and the food at Lakehouse Bar and Grill. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Due to the age and additions of the resort, it does not have the most mobility friendly environment and it was difficult for my older parents. There are many steps and levels. We also think for the price paid for a room, supplies for the "kitchen" area - such as dish soap and hand and drying towels should be provided for ALL rooms. Not just the north end. We did ask for these things and were provided with them at no charge - but they shouldn't need to be asked for. We would stay again."
