Top Minnesota Lake Hotel Reviews

River Hills Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My first time staying there. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended"

Hotel Alexander

10/10 Excellent

"This was the cutest little boutique hotel we have stayed in! It was clean, and perfectly located downtown to everything Mankato Marathon related- the expo, bus stop to the start line, and the finish line. We loved the mid-century vibe and minimalist design. There was a cute little mini fridge in our room and a microwave in the communal coffee bar area. This was absolutely perfect for bringing all my pre and post-race food. They have coffee and tea available 24/7, and there were two little breakfast boxes (dairy yogurt, banana, clif bar, grape juice) in our room fridge. We highly recommend this hotel if you’re traveling to Mankato. Even though I don’t really want to run that half-marathon course again, I would actually consider it just to take a little weekend trip to Mankato next fall."

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Mankato

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 12 nights. My wife and I found the location excellent for our needs. The staff were very helpful and ALWAYS responded to our needs in a timely manner. We also met a two groups that used the hotel. The first week and weekend there were tennis players in town for a tournament. The second weekend was a bus tour group that came to see Southern Minnesota from the Green Bay Wisconsin area. We were visiting from Florida had a very pleasant stay."

Log Inn on Madison Lake. Multi generation. Corporate retreat for team building

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful lake house with our large family group of 21–24 people! We were welcomed with a hand written note, which made us feel cared for. The location was great, and the house itself was so unique. We really loved how the different floors and spaces were connected, which made it easy for everyone to spend time together while still having plenty of room to spread out.The kids had an absolute blast, and it was such a great opportunity for our entire family to spend quality time together and make lasting memories. The house was also very well stocked with plenty of dishes, utensils, and toilet paper, which was especially appreciated with such a large group. They also provide coffee, had salt and black pepper, and most things we can think of.Overall, we had a fantastic experience and truly enjoyed our family getaway. We would definitely book this place again in the future and would highly recommend it to other large families or groups looking for a fun and memorable lake getaway!"

American Motel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was okay. The staff did a great job getting us into our room. The key card reader was not working so our door was open on arrival and when we came back they let us in with their master key. I did feel for the woman helping us as she had to let every guest who came back to the hotel into their room. We were staying because of a wedding in town and the hotel was full because of that. The beds were comfy although they looked like they had been made in a hurry. The carpet in the hall was a bit dated and looked like it needed vacuuming. The room had kinda of a sweet Smokey like smell. Like covering up smoking although the sign on our door said no smoking. For an overnight it was fine. Not the newest of hotels but again, the two women who helped us were great."
