Categories

Cleanliness
6.2
Mixed reports: multiple guests noted moldy or musty smells, damp rooms, hair in shower and an initial room that failed cleanliness standards; other guests described rooms as very clean and staff remedied issues by promptly changing rooms.
Service
9
Strongly positive: staff repeatedly described as friendly, helpful and accommodating (provided discounts, free upgrades and immediate room changes); isolated notes about being short-staffed and slower checkout do not outweigh overall praise.
Location
8.2
Generally praised for convenience—close to restaurants, shops, work and off the main highway—though some guests mentioned parking can be full, entrance is hard to find and a few found the location noisy.
Room Quality
6.8
Mixed: comfortable beds and a notable jacuzzi tub in some suites, but several functional and comfort issues reported (small refrigerator, clogged sink, broken ironing board/iron, damp/musty rooms).
Amenities
7.4
Amenities generally liked (warm pool/hot tub, jacuzzi and decent breakfast), but there were complaints about a non-working hot tub at times and a broken elevator; some rooms had small refrigerators.
Value for Money
7.3
Perceived as reasonable value by several guests (comfortable stay, helpful staff, occasional discounts/upgrades), though at least one guest felt price did not match problems like plumbing issues.
Food and Beverage
8
Breakfast consistently praised for variety and quality; isolated comment that food was served too warm but overall positive impressions of breakfast offerings.
Overall Experience
8.7
Overall positive stay driven by excellent staff, good location and solid breakfast, tempered by recurring cleanliness and maintenance issues that affected some guests' stays.

Comfortable and good value stay for a short trip in Forest Lake.
Pros:

The breakfast options were good - a nice variety. The room was comfortable and the hotel was quiet. Location was convenient with plenty of restaurants and shops close by. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool and hot tub were really warm and mostly empty so we had them to ourselves.

Cons:

The refrigerator was small.

If you need a place to stay, the staff will make sure you are comfy and have a great breakfast!
Pros:

The staff!!! It's rare to enter an establishment these days and be met by friendly staff all over, but it happened here.
Breakfast was great!!! The pool was a little cold but met our needs. The location was great.

Cons:

Based on the score on booking.com and the reviews, I was expecting a little more from this property in the way of cleanliness and presentation. We did not find this hotel to be an 8 in those areas. BUT! the staff made our stay a 10. We *never switch rooms but after the first night, our room did not meet our expectations in cleanliness, so we talked to the front desk in the morning. They were so understanding and accommodating!! They promptly changed our room and made very sure the new room met our standards. Our second room was on par!
