Top Detroit Lakes Hotel Reviews

Ramada by Wyndham Fargo

6/10 Okay

"The room was good. Clean. The pool was not as expected. The slides shook so bad my 8 year old would not go down it. There were dirty towels laying on the chairs, tables and floor. Even though it was empty when we left."

Bison Inn & Suites on University

2/10 Terrible

"Room wasn't cleaned. Underwear hanging from the shower, and so understaffed no one is ever at the front desk. The tv didn't work except for one channel, remote didn't work. The guy at the front was friendly tho. Kids running around as loud as possible till midnight and the ac didn't work."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Detroit Lakes, MN

10/10 Excellent

"Could not have chosen a better place to stay! Such a well kept property, inside and out. The location is ideal: on the bike path and easy distance to the Trolls... which is why so many people come to DL, right? ;-) The staff was terrific; friendly and so helpful. (Shout out to the lovely breakfast lady who did her job so well and with a smile). The entire place smelled fresh and clean, and was well lit. Our room was immaculate and the bed very comfy. Quiet for sleeping, even with the highway and near by train track-they really were not a factor. Enjoyed the pool and hot tub/spa as well as the outdoor seating options. If we head back this way again, this WILL be where we stay."
