The Resource Inn

IT WAS AWESOME. GREAT STAFF AND FACILITYS

Very interesting setup and a unique stay. I really enjoyed it. The room was very clean and a good size. Super comfortable too. I would happily stay again. I stayed in a cabin.

The first room I was given was filthy and unfit to stay in. The second room was ok but had trouble with the key card. You could tell the hotel was built with a lot of pride and was once probably very nice, but it's not being kept up and felt like it was turning into a lower income extended housing which would be fine with proper upkeep

The cabins were clean and cute with plenty of room and a small kitchenette, but no cookware or dishes etc. There was also no coffee maker as advertised so we had to go into town to buy some plastic cups and dishes to make our food/coffee in the morning. Overall the Resource in was nice, it would have been nicer with some basic cookware/dishes.

Unique hotel. Outside not clean

I had not realized that this hotel is actually built from 20 foot shipping containers, each of which was repurposed into a hotel room and stacked two high. In reality, though, the room was quiet and comfortable. The fly in the ointment, as it was, was that when I went to take a shower I discovered to my dismay that the genius who installed the plumbing did not include the piece that enables you to switch the water flow from the spout in the tub to the overhead shower. No push button, no lever, no switch of any kind - meaning, of course, no shower. On top of that, this being a Sunday, the front office was closed so I could not call anyone (not that there are phones in the room - but I had a cell phone) to see about perhaps using a shower in a different container/room. This, alas, was sub-optimal, to say the least.

Overall best place to stay in Big Lake

It was good
