Not going to lie, when we first pulled up, I was concerned. Security guard and empty parking lot. My worries were quickly set aside. Excellent service, clean and comfortable room. Great value. Would absolutely stay again.

I have been traveling most weekends for five months now and this is the first hotel that had a security guard on staff. It made the hotel feel like it was an unsafe place to stay. Additionally, the first room that I checked into was actually occupied. Another first in all of my travels. I also woke up at 6:00AM to a couple having a domestic dispute in the parking lot.

Everything was great pretty much. Love the jacuzzi tub since my purpose was a 25 km run! Staff was very friendly and let me have a late check out after the race!
The ONLY problem was the bed above my room had the loudest squeaky bed springs ever. Told the staff in the morning and they said they would get on it. All good!
Will definitely stay again next year!

Staff said the wifi wasn't working but actually the problem was i had the wrong password. Didn't like having to show id at check in.

Hotel is very outdated, check in staff was super slow ( check out was perfectly fine) no soap in the bathroom, was charged for a 2 queen bedroom and stayed in a single queen room. Would have been ok if our original room choice was not avail but there was no communication. Luckily this was one night stay. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel

Friendly staff but not helpful. No shower curtain, hand soap or shampoo when I arrived. Tried to call front desk but telephone didn't work as it didn't have a cord. They came with shower curtain but didn't return with soap or phone cord.
Air conditioning was extremely noisy.

The room was clean. Air conditioner worked very well but loud. The bath room looked like it was newly renovated, but often smelled like cigarette smoke through the vent so we ran the vent all day. The room had a strange smell when first walked in but got use to it. There is digital cable but was very glitchy, and often just quit.

The staff were friendly and helpful when available.There were just not enough of them. The person who checked us in also was doing laundry, cleaning rooms and generally doing everything. The room when we entered was smelly. Like an armpit. The beds were clean. When checking the room I found an empty cat food container that was left by a previous occupant. The price was very similar to other hotels in Detroit Lakes and relatives stayed in one and were impressed with the overall condition and service. Probably will never book a room there again.

Older hotel, but the staff was friendly and efficient. Definitely not a high end hotel, but it worked for what we needed it for.

A little run down, no breakfast had to drive to breakfast. Local golf courses great, Long Bridge Restaurant had decent food and a live band!

I rent two rooms next to each for my family on Friday October 15, 2022 and the rooms have bed bugs. We were bitten. Also, the check in was taken so long, but the front desk person was patient and trying hard to help.

Quiet cozy place on the outskirts of the main drive with friendly staff. However, If you like a lot of Amenities this is not the place for you.

Near the train station for 4:30 am departures. You have to love freight trains to stay in Detroit lakes. The managers were very helpful. The windows opened.

Wonderful stay at Star of the Lakes, friendly staff, clean room. The wonderful lady even allowed me to check out late after my race to have a shower and nap. Thank you!

Room was not ready until well after 5 as they needed to vacuum yet. We found fingernail clippings on floor, so don’t believe it was vacuumed.. no breakfast and just faucet water to make yukky coffee in room. Noisy due to train track.
1.0
Really loud. Air conditioning could not be shut off so came on intermittently all night. People sitting in parking lot in evening and early morning. No cups by coffee in lobby and when inquired told someone has to go upstairs to get some - it was 6:45 am. Towels and sheets stacked in counter behind check-in desk. Check in staff very helpful but friend or perhaps another employee just lounging in a chair behind desk staring at their phone. Morning staff was the one who could not locate coffee cups. No greeting and never looked up when checking us out. Room was clean and plenty of towels. Coffee maker in room didn’t work. Reasonable price but overall disappointing and won’t return.

Check-in time is noted as 4pm. Went to the hotel two times (6pm was the last) and my room was still not ready. Appears to be severely understaffed.

I had a two-night reservation, but when I got back to the hotel my second night my key had been deactivated and all of my personal belongings moved out of my room. They were cleaning it at 10:30pm at night so I couldn’t even get back in right away after I straightened out the confusion. I would not recommend.

Lumpy bed, small flies in the room and receptionists that did not know how to check us in or check us out. (Two different people). On the good notes: larger room, recliner, refrigerator and microwave, staff very friendly.
