Cleanliness
5.8
Multiple reviews report filthy rooms, smudges on walls, hair in tubs, dirty vent fans, rust, and evidence of poor housekeeping — cleanliness is below expected standards.
Service
9.8
Staff are described as friendly and welcoming in several accounts, though isolated incidents of inattentive ownership (owners sleeping, check-in disputes) were reported; overall interactions are often positive.
Location
9.5
Consistently praised for a great central location: close to shops, restaurants (including a breakfast spot next door), park and beach; convenient for walking to local destinations.
Room Quality
6.5
Mixed room quality: some rooms described as spotless and quiet, while others report poor lighting, small bathrooms, holes in doors, ceiling panels missing, rust and a stiff bed — overall below ideal.
Amenities
9.6
Amenities receive strong praise in some reviews (jacuzzi tub loved, pool described as amazing), though there are reports of a broken spa and misuse of the sauna; when operational amenities are highly valued.
Value for Money
7
Several guests felt the hotel was overpriced for the quality received (unexpected extra charges, general condition issues), though others found the location and amenities to add value.
Food and Beverage
7.2
Breakfast is described as basic (bagels, cereal) with reports of empty coffee and out-of-order juice; proximity to a well-regarded nearby restaurant offsets on-property F&B shortcomings.
Overall Experience
9.4
Guest experiences are mixed but include several very positive stays (comfortable, quiet rooms and excellent location/amenities). Negative experiences are notable but not universal, resulting in a generally favorable overall impression for many guests.

Location was easy walking distance to downtown, but concerned sbout security snd cleanliness.
Pros:

Not much of a breakfast except for the coffee and juices.
It was easy to find and easy walking distance to shops at downtown Walker.

Cons:

Door stop was often found so second door for outside entry was not locked for security. Read notice on mirror above sink after getting ready to cbeck out, that we had to request room to be made up and fresh towels.

Good, clean hotel, reasonably priced.
Pros:

Easy walk to everything in town, a short drive to Tianna Country Club & Long Bow for golf, near docks for boating, restaurants, & grocery and liquor stores. We got upgraded to a room with a jacuzzi, which was nice.

Cons:

The breakfast was sub-par. Two kinds of hot or cold cereal, toast, waffles, coffee. Sometimes there’s hard-boiled eggs or muffins. No yogurt, hot eggs or meat. For a better breakfast, go to Jimmy’s next door.

I have athritis in my knees, the toilet was too low, so had to pull myself up. And brace myself on the walls when I had to use it.

Stear clear
Pros:

We ended up not staying! Front desk dude was barely understandable and RUDE. He completely ignored you when you walked in he would look up and just stare at you. No greeting at all, when we asked if we could check in he just blankly stare, not ready. Ask how long, I don't know. He couldn't answer basic questions, we finally just said we didn't want to stay because our guts were screaming, Get out of here! So we did and were so much happier at the new place!

Wonderful Stay with Great Amenities and Location
Pros:

My wife and I had a fabulous stay at the Walker Hotel in Walker, MN over the 4th of July weekend. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and our room was spotless, quiet, and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed having a jacuzzi tub — my wife absolutely loved it, and it made our stay feel extra relaxing.

The location couldn’t be better. There’s a great restaurant right next door that serves breakfast until 2 p.m., which made our mornings easy and enjoyable. Within a 10‑minute walk, you’ll find plenty of shops, restaurants, and bars, making it simple to explore the town without needing to drive. The nearby city park is another highlight, with a sandy swimming beach and lots of activities around the lake. It all added up to a wonderful visit, and we would happily stay here again.

Run away and never come here
Pros:

Room was filthy there was things smudged all over the walls a d**k drawn on the light switch vent in bathroom looked like it's never been cleaned panels of the ceiling were missing breakfast wasn't re stocked no one wiping down tables or making sure breakfast area was clean spa was broken sauna was being used as weight room but at the same time it was filled with the hotels extra inventory so you couldn't even use that over all horrible experience and for a place that charges the going rate they should be embarrassed for the quality this place holds wouldn't recommend anyone going here even if it was sleeping in your car before here

We will never stay here again.
Pros:

When we arrived on Friday, we had to call for someone to come and help us get checked in. One of the owners asked what we needed before she came down the stairs. My husband used hotel.com and was charged in October 2025 for the room. The owner argued that we still need to pay for the room. The owner finally said she would call Hotel.com for clarification.

The pool was closed, the bed was very stiff and uncomfortable, there was rust in the tub, the towel holder and the ceiling. There were holes in the back of the bathroom door.

The breakfast consisted of bagels and cereal. The coffee was empty and the juice was out of order.

We went to the lobby to bring the cart back and the other owner was sleeping behind the desk.
