Top Elk Lake Hotel Reviews

GrandStay Hotel & Suites Becker Big Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely would recommend! The staff was some of the best staff I've encountered at a hotel (and we stay at a lot of hotels due to travels). Amanda & Alex were both just so pleasant and helpful! The beds were comfy and had some of the best pillows. Everything was clean. The lobby had cute festive seasonal decor. The breakfast was a typical hotel breakfast: sausage, eggs, potatoes, waffles, a bakery case, cereal, yogurt, applesauce. Didn't use the pool as we were only there for the night."

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites St. Cloud by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was excellent! The staff treated you as if you were their family. The pool area was clean and always had clean towels. The grounds were very clean and pretty with lots of flowers. The exterior of the building was being painted when we were there so you can tell that upkeep is important to them. Breakfast options were great with pancake machines, egg and meat choices, oatmeal, Greek yogurt, fresh fruits, muffins, etc. Our room was tidied up during our second day and garbages dumped AND we had plenty of towels in our room from the get go. There were actually 4 towels in the room, not two like we usually have. Hallways and elevator areas were always clean. VERY NICE hotel. I’d stay here without question again."

Courtyard St. Cloud

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff"

Holiday Inn & Suites St. Cloud by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I loved that they have multiple hot tubs there is one that hasn’t been working for awhile but they have a giant hot tub and two pools and an indoor playground kind of like the McDonald’s one. They have a gym."

Tiny rustic cabin next to the Mississippi River

10/10 Excellent

"Great clamping getaway for anyone looking for a storybook backdrop place!:)"

Best Western Plus Kelly Inn

8/10 Good

"I stayed here because it was close to the St. Cloud Hospital. This was an unexpected trip, so I just wanted something close and clean. The room was very small, but that was fine with me. The Bathroom is very outdated. I also needed to charge my phone, but there were no USB outlets available. I asked to front desk person if they had anything available to plug in with a USB port in it. He just said that was not an option and pretty much said it sucks, but I could use the one in the lobby. I didn't want to sit in the lobby for an hour charging my phone. This is an outdated hotel for people that need to stay unexpectedly. It might be okay if you are going to be there for a conference. That would be a totally different experience I think."

HomeTown Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place for the money!"

Days Inn by Wyndham St Cloud

8/10 Good

"It was a place to stay for the night, however the staff was rude and their ad mentioned there was breakfast, but there was no breakfast."

Superb 5-bedroom house in Big Lake in friendly, safe neighborhood.

8/10 Good

"Great house! Perfect for what we needed. I would plan on bringing cups, plates, and items you'd need to cook at the house but overall a good experience and a place I would absolutely stay again!"
