Guest Reviews

• Chris (8/5): - The room was clean, the property was relatively quiet, the staff was friendly and helpful at the bar relating to the room. The restaurant bar is nice with decent food. Pet friendly is a plus! Close to the lake, a nice walking trail to town, and if you are a side by side person the trail is right out front.
• Roxanne (6/5): - There was no windows and definitely no balcony. The rooms are out dated.
• Mitch (8/5): - Good food ….good location
• Verified traveler (10/5): Weekend - It is a small lodge in the middle of otter tail. The charm fits right in. Above average.
• Geraldine (6/5): - There was a pair of men's underware on the bathroom door handle. Only 1 hand towel. Bed was clean. Saw no cleaning person. Not a quiet place.
• Christopher (10/5): - Really nice folks, big upstairs room
• Adrian (8/5): - Nice
• Frank (10/5): - The outside of the property could really use some sprucing up.
• Jason (10/5): - It was decent
• Jane (10/5): - Clean room great price great staff
• Brenda (10/5): - The entrance to the room.
• Michael (10/5): - Room was clean and reasonably priced.
• tom (8/5): - Everything was very good except for the TV. We followed all the directions but still could not get any station to work. We've stayed in various hotels from coast to coast and have never had such poor TV access.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great for my short stay! - Great place! They send you a code to access the room, extremely convenient!
• Shelby (4/5): Probably will try to find a different place - Shower head is very short. Shower had hairs all over. Looks like it wasnt cleaned well at all. Bed was alright. Tiny tiny tiny room. Smallest ive ever stayed in.. and its very expensive for what it is. The owner seems to not care about making it better because i reached out multiple times. Oh and this is 100% do it yourself for checking in. No workers.
• Russell (8/5): - Convenient and great price for your family personal trip
• Dawn (8/5): - I was unable to stay there as I am disabled and requested a first floor room and they had me on the 2nd floor with only steps. They were very apologetic and gave me a full refund.
• Katie (10/5): - Loved having my dog along, and perfect room for a crash pad. Like that i could log into my hulu to watch at night.
• Kelly (4/5): - I definitely regret staying here. Theroom was noisy and dirty. I found hair in the bed abd pubes on the toilet. The shower was moldy and the bed was lumpy and squeaky. I woke up in the morning with hives, too.
• Larry (8/5): - comfortable beds, good value. The sheets looked like they had been slept in...hair and stains. They apologised and quickly arranged for a better room at same cost.
• Wendy (8/5): - Woodsy theme. Cute otter blanket. Nice desk. Lounge area with games. Restaurant next door had good food and outdoor patio. Easy parking. Could see stars at night because there weren't too many lights. Easy code entry, didn't work the first time but then worked. Would have liked a lamp on both sides of the bed.
• Olena (10/5): Good - The room is good for a one-night stay. Very easy check in.
• Joseph (8/5): - Very convenient door lock for tech savy customers. They have an app that unlocks your door. Otherwise you just use the code provided. The rooms are clean and very quiet. The attached restaurant is really good service as well! Had amazing food and decent prices. Very good area for boat fishing or just getting on the water with family. Overall great experience for the outdoorsy.
• Stephen (10/5): - Everything about the check in is remote. No staff on site. Restaurant is fine. The lake is beautiful but access to it is very limited with private properties lining the shore in the town site
• Wesley (10/5): - The room was comfortable and clean. The food was delicious and our server was thoughtful and pleasant. Ottertail Lake had a fine beach with public access within a mile or so to the...south? Thanks for the great time!
• Kathy (10/5): - This lodge was very much self serve. But it was comfortable, and a place to stay at night as we were gone all day. It was fine for what we needed.
• Hannah (2/5): - As soon as you walked in it smelt like a musty basement. We turned up the air to try to get rid of the humidity in the room but it didnt work. It felt like you were sleeping in a tent after it rains. Everthing felt wet, the blankets, the carpet, ect. Will never stay there again
• Brian (10/5): - Purposely stayed here even though in Detroit Lakes for business trip, wanted to try something different. Overall very happy. Only items that would be nice is to have Kleenex in bathroom or room but just used toilet paper instead, ability to charge restaurant meal to room would be nice for dinner in room and USB plug ins on nightstand would help to be closer for devices. Loved the easy check in and out and unlock door all through mobile device and ability to access your streaming accounts through Roku TV.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Room had no hair dryer, no coffeemaker not even a chair to sit on. Was very disappointing.
• Pamela (6/5): - WiFi password didn’t work. No coffee maker in room. Refrigerator was noisy.
• Deborah (10/5): - I loved that it was connected to a bar/restaurant. However, our room had a musty smell to it.
• Jon (10/5): - Great stay
• Isaac (10/5): - Well we’re probably not the standard profile for guests at this hotel (my sister bought a fixer upper home in a neighboring town so I’m in the area to help out somewhat regularly) but here’s why I’ve given pretty much 5 stars across the board: 1. The rooms are exactly what they are advertised as clean, comfortable, reasonably quiet even when the restaurant has live music and for those of us who work nightshifts the windowless room is an amazing bonus. 2. The dining is a get what you pay for kind of thing if you don’t mind paying for quality I highly recommend the prime rib dinner (served Friday and Saturday nights). 3. The patio is pet friendly so taking your dog to dinner is a great option (and they do serve the dogs at least a bowl of water as well— whoever came up with that idea needs a raise). 4. Convenient access to the main road, decently spacious parking lot if you happen to be pulling a trailer and great access (either option will work but motorized vehicles or the walking path will get you there) to gas stations/basic shopping.
• Jeffrey (8/5): - I did not like that WiFi was out of range from the lodge's router.... no use of internet in room 120
• Beth (8/5): - The room was simple but clean and comfortable. It was conveniently located to food, gas, and of course, the lakes. I really liked the small lounge area with games. We ate dinner at the restaurant and the food was excellent and the service was very friendly and capable.
• Dawn (10/5): - Very easy check-in and very responsive housekeeping staff. The king size bed was the most comfortable I have found in staying in a hotel. Would definitely stay here again!!
• Gary (8/5): - Basic and met my needs.
• Larry (10/5): - Large Clean room, with very comfortable beds. Quiet and good fittings. Fair price. Could have used coffee making in the room. Nice to have the microwave and fridge.
• Carol (6/5): - There is no front desk. If you dont have a smart phone I don’t see how you could stay here. They send you a code for the door lock. Did not see an employee, but they saw us as they walked into our room in the morning. Tried to check out and had to pound on a restaurant door to find someone.
• George (10/5): - Great location. Easy access to my room.
• Brett (10/5): - Great stay! Highly recommend!
• Verified traveler (2/5): Never stayed at this place! - I did not stay. The reservation was made by mistake and cancelled the same day. Management sent an email indicating that it was cancelled. I don’t know why I’m receiving these emails. Please stop.
• Jeffrey (8/5): - It is a nice easy going friendly place to stay. Very convenient for fishing trips . Price is right also.
• Colleen (2/5): Do not go to Otter Supper Club and Lodge - If I could give a negative star I would. I’m out $92. I called during business hours and no one answered, I left a message and never got a call back or email. I knew I wouldn’t be able to cancel my room so I wanted to change the date. But they haven’t called or anything. If you have a lodge there should be on manager on call always.
• Matthew (6/5): - There was no coffee maker in the room. If there was coffee somewhere on the property it wasn't labeled there
• aaron (10/5): - I can’t say enough about the otter! From the amazing staff, that goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. Great gift shop, great restaurant inside the hotel clean and extremely comfy beds. Convenience of offsales in the building as well! I travel extensively for work, for over 10 years, and this has by far been the best bang for your buck ever!!! Highly recommend!
• Kimberly (10/5): - This little hotel was amazing! No check-in fiasco it was all through an app. Lounge was a huge bonus so we didn't have to drive. Nice atmosphere & the staff were friendly. Food - YUM! The hotel itself was VERY quiet. Not a luxury hotel by any means, but we were only there to sleep & shower. Definitely recommend!
• Lori (6/5): - Very clean. No staff that I was aware of. The room was very cold and the heater very noisy. Ressonably priced.
• Elizabeth (8/5): - Staff kept us well informed of contactless check-in procedures. Really like the keypad entry. Place was perfect for us. The only downside was the restaurant/bar clientele entering and exiting the building through the hotel side which made it louder than it should have been late into the evening. If they aren’t registered hotel guests, they should not be in that section of the building.
• Nancy (10/5): Family visit at Otterty - All great Nice stay in the hotel Thanks
• David (4/5): Flies - We were assigned a room that was two feet from the entrance. This should be turned into storage or used for some other purpose. So noisy! Also, we spent the first few hours killing flies that were in our room.
• Mark (8/5): - Stayed 3 nights the 1st night was quite disturbing with live music in the bar and then carried out to the lobby. It was a convenient location to travel for family reunion at West Battle Lake
• Carol (10/5): - Perfect place to sleep. Small room but comfortable bed, updated bathroom small but just what we needed for an overnight stay. Good price! Keyless entry system that worked great!
• Molly (8/5): - Very clean, well maintained lodge/supper club. We stayed in the deluxe room that was spacious with ample room for a family of 5.
• Dawn (10/5): - Unique system for accessing the room since there were no staff around. Good use of technology for these times of very limited workers.
• Jeanne (8/5): Clean and simple - Simple and clean. A little noisy at night. We didnt have a refrigerator in our room. Family also stayed here and both rooms had refrigerators. Lights over the bed didn't work. Pretty expensive for the small room.
• Jackie (10/5): - What you see is what you get! The place is clean, service is great! Will stay again.
• Vern (8/5): - Would of liked coffee for mid-week stay, a box of Kleenex
• Gail (4/5): - Sink was plugged but spouse was able to fix. No hairdryer, no tissues. Only one towel person. For almost $200 a night I would expect better. Free ice did help
• Brian (10/5): - Great location with attached restaurant and lounge
• Dean (10/5): - Clean-friendly and courteous-convenient amenities-good parking
• Louis (6/5): - The shower kept dripping, noone there for check out. Couldnt get reciept, no hairdryer in room. Bed comfortable.
• Terri Lee (8/5): - Was in the area for a family reunion. Limited accommodations available, especially due to local festival taking place. Check-in is electronic when you get there, but I never received the confirmation code to enter into the kiosk. Older people who are not tech-savvy could have trouble doing this. My mother-in-law had to go to the bar of the attached supper club to check in. In all, not a big deal. No room keys but there's a keypad on door. Rooms were clean, though the beds are small, especially if two adults are sharing. The supper club does have good food. In all, a good experience and we'd stay there again if in the area.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - We were on first floor. Our window didn't have a curtain that blocked the parking lot lights. It also allowed people to view us moving around in our room. The room was clean.
• JOHN (6/5): - Not the old otter that it once was
• Kathy (10/5): - It was perfect, and it was nice having a restaurant and bar attached. We would stay there again. Staff at the Bar and restaurant were amazing as well.
• Andrew (10/5): - It has everything all in 1 building. Bar/restaurant and offsale right there. Staff was super helpful!
• Dawn (4/5): - Loved the supper club attached. Good food. The check in was a pain. Had to download an app. Very confusing. No real person to help. We were tired and hungry when we arrived and had to deal with this weird check in process.
• Greg (8/5): - Our room needed a curtain over the blinds due to the security lighting. Shower handle is on backwards. Otherwise fine. Room 130
• April (2/5): - Did not know that there is absolutely no staff and it is run by a kiosk. My code expedia did not work on the kiosk and no one to help. We were so exhausted from the day and never got to check in and had to leave. No one answers at the hotel because there is no staff so expedia doesn't want my proof i was there and pictures of kiosk. They wont give a refund even with travel insurance.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice little place to go after a day of fishing. Hotel Bar, grill and liquor store all in one. Foods good but if you want a late night snack you’re going to have to make it yourself as there’s no food once the restaurant close. It’s a small town so everything closes early. Room has a microwave. Paid extra for a room with a balcony but was unable to use it due to over a foot of ice and snow on it. Has room to improve but for the price I would stay again.
• Martin (2/5): - no staff. impossible to check in. shabby
• Thomas (8/5): - This is twice I have been here now love it
• Jean (10/5): - Close to the lake
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Our room was remodeled since my last stay. No coffeemaker, towel bar was broken in bathroom & there was no hairdryer. The room was clean & tidy. Queen bed instead of a double would be an improvement.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - the room has a strong odor in it...cleaning spray ????
• Verified traveler (6/5): - I had booked a king Bed and got 2 double beds. Had trouble getting TV to work. The Bar Maid came up and helped us
• Angela (10/5): Otter Lodge- Diamond in the Rough!!!! - I was quite shocked at how clean and comfortable our room was. We were desperate for a place to stay and couldn't find anywhere else. (Reviews didn't look the best online) Upon arriving I was floored. The room was great, spacious and a beautiful, private deck. Bed was very comfy. Water temp and pressure were perfect. Food at restaurant on sight was AMAZING and their little store was well outfitted. Will DEFINITELY be staying here again!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The room was small but clean, everything worked. The A/C blew cold. I would stay again.
• Pamela (8/5): Worked well - Family reunion trip to lakes area. We had 4 rooms at Otter Lodge. Worked out well. Checking in was slow but once checked in, it all worked well. Restaurant on site had large patio so we were all able to eat outdoors together. Successful stay.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean and welcoming!
• Joy (6/5): An OK stay - Definitely an "OK". The room was upstairs. I had to maneuver the steep stairs with my luggage while avoiding the carpet installers. The bed was very comfortable. I would have liked to have had a chair to sit on and hangers, none present. Good thing I had ear plugs as there was onsite musicians on Friday and Saturday nights.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Staff was decent, room was mostly clean, but the hotel was very dated. The mattresses weren't great, the room was small, and there were few amenities. I'm sure this was the jewel of the lake many moons ago, but could use some updates.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Check in was a bit out of the ordinary. (Bartender) According to the signs in the room, previous occupants are very "classless'. The room seemed to be clean and AC worked, so that was good. $105 was a bit spendy but what else can you get for less?
• Connie (6/5): Only if you want to party - First off no front desk. Check in at the bar. Bar maid checks you in when she had time. WiFi only works in bar. In room not at all. The tv doesn’t have local channels. Couldn’t watch tv cause didn’t know how to work it. I myself will not be back will stay in Perham.
• Kim (4/5): Disappointing Stay - Was just a outdated room, very small room. No breakfast, no coffee maker in room, had to go to station to get coffee. Heater was loud and bathroom very small.
