This Motel is right on the lake and has a very nice décor. All rooms are lake facing and the furnishing looked almost new. My room included a refrigerator and microwave and a small balcony. The exercise facility contained top end equipment and a nice variety of machines and free weights. They serve a hot breakfast that was good, but... More

I went here for a retreat with my coworkers; the experience was simply wonderful. The staff was so warm and welcoming, the breakfast was very delicious. Don’t even get me started on the rooms! They were very beautiful, with a mini fridge, microwave, and beautiful bathroom. They had a rocking chair, desk, and a nice TV; but who needs a... More

The Lodge is located on the shores of Lake Detroit in Detroit Lakes, MN and has the ambiance that will make your experience a memorable one.

It disappoints me to write this review as I've tried for several years now to to give this hotel every possible chance to do the write thing. They just never do. And frankly, I don't believe their repeated mistakes with reservations, charges or courtesy to be malicious - more just incompetence. First we called to make a reservation. They didn't... More

We stayed for one night at the hotel. The staff (Jasmine, Nancy) were great! The room had an incredible view. Although we did not use the amenities we could see how enjoyable a stay in Summer or Fall would have so much to offer. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast had all we required. Again, the staff were... More

I travel quite a bit in Minnesota for business and stay at many different types of hotels. The Lodge is by far the best. Each room faces the lake and has either a nice patio or balconey. The front desk staff (especially Jim) greet you with a smile and are always very welcoming. The hotel is very clean and quiet.... More

Recently I and several members of my extended family had the pleasure of staying at The Lodge for one night - but I wish our stay was longer! The staff is friendly and very helpful, the rooms are unbelievably pristine with nice eco-friendly touches. The lounge is warm and inviting, and the small bar is well-stocked with a wonderful bartender... More

I chose this hotel after arriving in Detroit Lakes midweek, and stayed for three nights. The front desk gave me a very nice deal, considerably cheaper than on-line services were reporting. This is a lake front hotel with all rooms facing Detroit Lake. The rooms are clean and large, the beds comfortable. There is also a nice day spa in... More
