Top Baxter Hotel Reviews

Cragun's Resort & Hotel

8/10 Good

"We think the history of Cragun's is really neat. We enjoyed the views from our room and the food at Lakehouse Bar and Grill. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Due to the age and additions of the resort, it does not have the most mobility friendly environment and it was difficult for my older parents. There are many steps and levels. We also think for the price paid for a room, supplies for the "kitchen" area - such as dish soap and hand and drying towels should be provided for ALL rooms. Not just the north end. We did ask for these things and were provided with them at no charge - but they shouldn't need to be asked for. We would stay again."

AmericInn by Wyndham Baxter Brainerd

8/10 Good

"First, the woman at the daytime front desk was extremely helpful in every way. We were with family for a wedding. We flew into Mpls 2 days early and drove to Baxter. Check in went smoothly. The desk clerk was able to accommodate our request for all 3 rooms to be on the same floor, in spite of a high capacity weekend. The rooms are basic. It is obvious that the hotel is older and a bit worn. Our room smelled mildly of smoke when we entered (non smoking room) but overall wasn’t bothersome. The bed was comfortable and the room quiet at night. Temp is controlled by a unit in the wall which was adequate, though loud. We found the breakfast to be very complete with a wide variety of choices. The location of the hotel is very convenient to all kinds of restaurants and shopping. We were looking for a group activity on Friday and the desk clerk mentioned the Haunted Trails event at the Northland Arboretum. Our family group included a 15 year old, 7 year old and 4 year old. We followed her suggestion and attended that event on Friday night and had a blast!"
