"The space was decent and fit us all accordingly sleeping wise, it was also nice as however keep in mind there was no swimming unless you have your own boat otherwise they have two kayaks and life jackets you can use. Fire pit was nice - There were some amenities there that weren’t included. Would have been nice to have more space for garbage and also a bigger grill for our group of 7"

"Nice enough place. Office appears to be permanently closed and unstaffed, so check in was by phone. It was quick and efficient, and the person on the phone sounded nice, but it felt a bit odd and impersonal. No breakfast, obviously! No pool, if that's important to you. Room was clean and the knotty pine trim was a warm touch. Beds n pillows were on the soft side but comfy enough. Windows on each end of the room, and in the bathroom, open up, so if you like fresh air, there is an actual cross-venting opportunity (loved that!). There was a fist-sized hole punched in the wall in Room 8, and the toilet paper dispenser had been ripped off and not replaced, but toilet paper was within handy reach, so details like these did not detract for us. In fact it added some character to a "rustic" room. If you want a chain motel experience, this probably ain't it. We got a nice, clean, comfy, fresh room, with no nasty smells from the past, and we slept all the better for that. Overall, we felt our double beds room was a little pricey, but it was competitive for the area in summer time. Would we recommend it? Yeah, if you're not picky, it's a nice place to sleep n shower in Park Rapids, walking distance to the park and Main Street."
