Top Pelican Rapids Hotel Reviews

The Mill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay at The Mill Hotel and I will definitely be staying here again when I’m traveling for work. The hotel was very unique, the bed was comfortable and everything was clean. The only thing I would have liked especially since I was traveling for work was a desk in the room. I ended up working from my computer in bed, which wasn’t ideal. There are tables and chairs available in the basement, but I didn’t feel as comfortable working down there. Overall, I had a great experience and really enjoyed my stay."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Detroit Lakes

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay!"

Best Western Premier The Lodge on Lake Detroit

10/10 Excellent

"We would definitely stay here again. I chose it for the location and for the price, but there were so many things that made it even more special. Wonderful, welcoming staff. Excellent location, lakefront property, every room facing the lake. We spent an entire evening at the hotel - watching the sunset from our balcony, building a bonfire on the property for which staff supplied fire starters (firewood already there) and s'mores fixings, looking through our own telescope on the expansive lawn near the beach, and wrapping it up in the hot tub. Breakfast was excellent, many choices including delicious fresh watermelon and pineapple (in September!). Room itself was comfortable, clean and spacious."

Pelican Motel

8/10 Good

"Staff was friendly. Hotel is in a nice location."

Holiday Inn Detroit Lakes - Lakefront by IHG

"Nice place. Room clean, bed comfortable. Liked the fact there was a bar and restaurant on premises."

AmericInn by Wyndham Fergus Falls - Conference Center

"Was close to restaurant, and animal hospital. Our little dog had surgery and we wanted to be close. Staff was amazing and very helpful."

Beachfront Haven

8/10 Good

"Very nice updated motel. Great location. Loved the kitchenette option! I’m giving 4 stars because of the bed. It was very, very firm. My husband and I slept poorly our entire stay. We ended up not staying our third night and going home due to the discomfort the bed was causing us. We are in our 40s with the usual aches and pains, we just couldn’t handle another night."

GrandStay Hotel & Suites Perham
