The room was spacious and clean. The pool area had a variety of water slides and a lazy river. It was a great place for kids. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider staying there again.

Nice place if swimming and hot tub dont Matter
We didn’t spend much time at the hotel. We were in Brainard for the BIR muscle car races. The only down fall was we were out for a long day at the track and were looking forward to sitting in the hot tub when we returned to the hotel. The hot tub was closed by 9:00 pm. Another time we had a break from the races in the middle of the day so came back to swim and use the hot tub but it was closed from 1-4 pm.
