Guest Reviews
- Blair (10/5): - It felt like home. The staff was extremely friendly and nice. N/a
- gentzler (8/5): -
- Dahlton (10/5): -
- Bibissucka (10/5): Super clean, great breakfast, Microwave and fridge in room - Awesome and friendly owners. Super clean room. Bed, pillows and linens were very comfortable. Microwave and fridge in room. Breakfast with lots of fresh fruit, pastries, egg breakfast sandwiches. We will stay again.
- Jeannie (10/5): The staff very nice, breakfast and coffee set up up great, hotel rooms clean, cost for stay was so reasonable. - Clean, parking great
- Wendy (9/5): Hands down, the BEST hotel I've stayed at because of the customer service! - The location was perfect--away from the city and felt safe. The owners of this hotel are wonderful--incredibly kind and friendly. They upgraded our room to a beautiful King bed and 2-queen suite, making this one of the most memorable stays for my two daughters, who each had their own bed (a big deal when they're used to sharing in hotel rooms!) The room was not fancy, but it was clean, and the pillows and beds were comfortable. This was, by FAR, the BEST hotel I have ever stayed at because of the exceptional kindness! If you're going to the Cities, but don't want to stay there because of safety concerns, I highly recommend this hotel! The breakfast options were limited. There were no protein options, but more just grab-and-go-type items. Even adding some oranges to the mix would make it a little easier for those who are on low-carb diets.
- malik (10/5): Great stay in a winter getaway - Beautiful decor very friendly counter person Nothing
- Trishia (10/5): -
- Jeremy (10/5): - Would go back ten out of ten times.
- Donald (10/5): - Room was clean, the bathroom was clean, plenty of towels, everything was in good working condition. The people were very friendly. Had a very nice stay.
- Christina (8/5): - Stayed here while visiting a friend. The family running it was so sweet. The rooms were clean, quiet. The only issue i had was the pillows were smaller (the full size instead of King or Queen size), but i am a pillow snob and usually bring my own for overnight and forgot.
- Washell (10/5): - Really enjoyed our stay and they had a great staff! Family ran by a beautiful family.
- Ryan (10/5): - Clean
- Tia (6/5): - Shower wasn't functional at check in, they fixed the issue
- Sid (10/5): - Nice staff
- Kristi (10/5): - Very happy with stay.
- Cathy (6/5): - Staff was wonderful! Rooms were clean but could use some repairs. Rear exterior door did not lock. There appeared to be some long term residents staying at the hotel. All in all good value for money and most importantly the room was clean! Loved the snack bar area in the room.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice place to stay - The staff here is amazing. Friendly hometown family people.
- Brenna (10/5): - Owners are very friendly. There was new updates to the rooms.
- Kevin (10/5): - Quiet
- Kathryn (10/5): - Cost very reasonable, staff super nice!
- Kelly (10/5): Very cute place! - Bed was comfortable, which I was surprised about because I’m currently having back issues. The staff were very nice and accommodating. They even gave me an accessible room when they found out about my back. I would definitely stay again and recommend.
- Jessica (10/5): - Na
- Nanette (10/5): - Despite the property name that sounds vaguely like a chain hotel, I found out later that this a family business and I am so glad to have stayed here for that reason alone. The owners are a delightful couple who are attentive to their guests and work very hard for the success of their business. I made a reservation online at the last minute so when I arrived only a short time later, they didn't have the room linens ready for me. To allow me to check in immediately, they offered me a different room and I very much appreciated it. The room was immaculate and very comfortable. I was only in the area for two nights, and this hotel was the perfect home base for my activities. I didn't take advantage of the breakfast here due to my schedule, but I got a cup of their brewed coffee from Ember Coffee Co. each morning. I had great conversations with the owners (and other staff members as well) who helped me learn about the area and make plans to visit the wildlife refuge that's just north of Big Lake. These personal interactions are what make this hotel so special.
- Mary (10/5): - Really nice front desk staff. Unusual to feel at home in a hotel but they made it happen. Comfy beds, clean rooms, great breakfast given the small breakfast area. Didnt have the tv ton cnn or fox! THANKYOU! Had WCCO, a local happy news station on. Nice change!
- Judy (8/5): - The facility was nice and clean with a friendly and helpful staff.
Only down fall was my room was on the main level next to a restaurant parking lot. So plenty of traffic and noisy vehicles.
- Paolo (10/5): - The owners were amazing and they were more than accommodating. I will only stay here when visiting the area
- JESSICA (6/5): - Staff was amazing both prior to arriving and upon arrival. Room was fine there was just a strong odor that was a mix between musty and cleaning supplies. I have bad allergies so it was overwhelming for me but it was a decent place to stay overall I’d stay again. Staff again was amazing.
- Fredrick (10/5): Unexpectedly very nice - Are they trying to be a hampton? Very nice
- Jessica (10/5): - Friendly staff, comfortable beds, decent breakfast. No complaints.
- Erin (10/5): Amazing Staff - Don’t let the outside fool you! The outside definitely needs help and I hate saying that but I was a little worried when we pulled up. The inside is clean, comfortable and welcoming. Everyone at this hotel was amazing and the rooms were large and clean.
- Jeremy (10/5): - Awesome staff, friendly as can be! Very attentive to any need we had. Always welcomed us with a friendly smile and interested in the event we were there for. Highly recommended this place to stay.
- Alisha (6/5): - The staff were SO incredibly kind and helpful. This is clearly a family owned business, so they care deeply about their guests. They were helpful, kind, and very friendly/social!
I think many people would enjoy staying here, it just was not for me. I have a very high expectation of cleanliness (it’s a flaw of mine, even at home), and while the room was clean, a few things just need updating —like the carpets.
The lock on the back door also did not lock, so that made me a little weary.
- Robert (8/5): - Staff are friendly and efficient. I have stayed here before and will stay here again.
- April (10/5): - The owners were wonderful. We got a warm welcome when we arrived and a great send off. We were treated very well throughout our stay. We would highly recommend staying here. Not enough towels were in the room initially but that was taken care of by the staff.
- Harold (10/5): - Everything was good quality, attractive and clean though not fancy or deluxe. The staff/owners are amazingly personable and caring.
- Stephanie (8/5): - Noisy with children running around in the halls during the night.
- David (10/5): - Super friendly staff were responsive to requests and very accomodating.
- Robert (10/5): - Very comfortable stay!!!
- Jean (10/5): - Very comfotrable and friendly.
- Deb (10/5): Exceptional - 6 cup coffee maker in the room!!! Shampooed carpet same day as check-in. It was damp for days but not enough to dampen the visit.
- Larry (10/5): - Great property with a super friendly staff definitely would recommend you to stay here
- Dennis (8/5): - They only supplied 2 bath towels, one washcloth and one hand towel for two people. Also, the tv was hard to find local channels because there was no channel guide.
- Zak (10/5): Comfortable place, super accessible to surrounding areas - Friendly staff that were super helpful.
Climate control.
Free breakfast. Could use some updates but that won’t prevent me from staying here again.
- Loren (8/5): - Pleasant staff. Clean rooms. Reasonable price.
- Marcel (10/5): - Great value for the price
- Mark W (10/5): - This was an excellent place to stay. The staff were amazing and the room was super clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay here again when we are passing through.
- Rebecca (10/5): - Next to busy highway but did not hear anything.
- Jennifer (10/5): Nice Place at a Fair Price - Everything was great! I stayed in #214. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. The woman at the front desk was so friendly and helpful. You can tell she really cares about your stay. I had a small dog with me and that was not a problem. Although this is a pet friendly hotel, it was quiet when I was there. No excessive noise from pets. The breakfast consists of bread / bagels, yogurt cups, Jimmy Dean microwavable sandwiches, fruit, cereal, juice, coffee. There is cream cheese, jelly, peanut butter, and butter. Basic but good.
- Judy (8/5): - I liked the big bed, it was very comfortable and clean.
- Peter or Nathalie (10/5): - We had a hiccup on our days and the staff was extremely accommodating and helpful. Worth 100%.

- winterview (10/5): Favorite Hotel in Big Lake MN - This is our new favorite for hotels in or near Big Lake MN. This hotel is under new ownership & they are so friendly. We were acknowledged every time we walked thru the lobby. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the lobby was decorated so cute for Christmas. Everything was in great working order. There was grab-n-go breakfast items, perfect for us. We stayed 5 nights. There is a nice local restaurant next door that has great burgers. This hotel is easy to get to off Hwy 10, plenty of parking. Pet friendly too. Highly recommend this hotel. We WILL stay again while visiting family.
- Rhonda (8/5): Very good -
- Melanie (8/5): - Clean and well maintained, as we stayed 2 nights would have been nice to have fresh towels daily. More coffee for in room coffee machine. TV was laking and hard to work.
Overall great staff. Clean and neat.priced right. Owners on site. And they had o ly owned facility for about a year.
Would stay there again and recommend to friends and family

- Denise (10/5): ABV Big Lake, MN - Great staff - super friendly!
Hotel is older - but super clean and very comfy. Big rooms.
Continental breakfast.
- Emma (9/5): Overall an amazing experience. - Staff were super nice, helpful and friendly. Clean and organize place. Coffee was delicious. Could have had more options for breakfast.
- David (10/5): - Staff/owner couple was fantastic
- J (10/5): - Very friendly staff, I arrived late and got up early, before breakfast started. I would love to come back and stay again for a longer visit.
- Marjorie (6/5): - Staff was great. Room was nice . Bed was comfortable but pillows were not.
The lobby had some random office chairs. Looked sloppy.
Breakfast didn’t offer up much.
- Amanda (10/5): - Price and friendliness and comfort.
- Angela (4/5): - Staff was super friendly. Room smelled a litty musty, carpet had stains but the worst was the blood stains on the fitted sheet on the bed.
- Sandy (10/5): - Clean and very friendly. We had an issue with the TV and the gentleman came up to the room and handled it right away.
Maybe a very more options for breakfast, like hard boiled eggs.
- Steven (10/5): - Friendly annd accommodating staff.
- Jonathan (10/5): - The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly. Did everything they could to make sure the stay was enjoyable
- Julian (10/5): - Very nice budget motel but the staff/owner was exceptional. We needed a jump to start our car and he was right there.
- Diane (6/5): - The bed was very comfortable. The shower (although the showerhead was tiny and thought it would sting) was nice and refreshing - could rinse shampoo/conditioner out well and it was high enough to shower (I’m 5’8”). The guy at desk was friendly and even remembered my name after several hours. The breakfast was continental so no waffles/pancakes or sausage etc. (hot stuff). I heard it has new owners so probably upgrading yet - there was a musty smell when I first got there but it dissipated - couldn’t crack window open but I had air freshener along - I think new carpet could be a remedy. All in all it was close enough to where I needed to be and I’d stay again.
