Only drove through on a Sunday drive Drove through the campgrounds They seem to be a little private from one another but the trees are not trimmed for tall campers

My 125 tall 5th wheel would not fit down the road or in the shallow camping sites Walked down to the beach Many people were swimming It was sandy and about 50 yards wide The beach is not handicap accessible The CG and beach can only be accessed from about a 1 mile or so gravel road

I was told when I booked a block of rooms that I wouldn’t have to give a guess of estimated room rentals We were told that it would be “first come first serve” I was very disappointed to learn that my block was capped at 15 rooms

I was expecting many out of town guests of my 250 wedding guests I had to reach out to other hotels in a different area to accommodate more guests and therefore increase shuttle services Knowing my block was capped at 15 rooms would have been helpful to know at the time of booking so I could plan accordingly My room also smelled like smoke It was in the pillows and bed… gross

TLDR if you don’t HAVE to stay in Elk River, stay somewhere elseWe made it through the night but this is the second worst hotel I’ve stayed at I’m not a neat freak but the room was obviously dirty, without really looking, hairs on the walls and shower curtain, gunk and dirt on the desk chair, the bed was awful, and there was a lot of room noise through the wall

It was also generally a very dingey place, particularly for the price Finally, we went for breakfast and it looked really minimal and mediocre, the only thing we wanted was a glass of water because the room sink was kind of gross, and the water in the juice machine was broken, no bottled water available Unreal

We came down for a funeral and usually stay in Maple Grove but it was booked up due to a sports tournament so we opted to go North to Elk River, have had good luck with Country Inn and Suites in the past We were happy they gave us a “funeral rate” which was still WAY TOO MUCH for the room we received We reserverd the family suite

When we got there the room was too warm, air conditioner unit was in the back bedroom and would only go as low as 68 which didn’t ever get cool enough The air in the bedroom was ok, but it didn’t reach the rest of the living room where the bunk beds were There was a ceiling fan that whacks kids heads on the bunk bed so we couldn’t use it, would get hit while climbing ladder too There was a fan on the wall between the bedroom and living room but it didn’t work and there was no switch for it Could hardly sleep due to hot, stuffy air TV didn’t work AT ALL, cable was unplugged (so this was an issue with previous guest), worked on it for about 45 minutes trying to trouble shoot it myself, front desk just said, “sorry about that, we don’t have maintainance here” No replacement TV The bathroom was outdated and the sink and tub hardly drained so water filled up in both Sink water blasted out so hard it splattered all over and there was no bathroom fan Went to pool, no towels-we had to ask and they did bring a small pile of towels, but no basket or shelf for them even, they put them on a chair and walked away Needless to say, we will not be staying here again and will not ever stay at another Country Inn and Suites due to this experience In the morning while checking out the gal at the desk asked me how my stay was and I told her all of that and she just said, oh, I’m sorry to hear that Didn’t offer a discount or a credit towards another stay, nothing When we are on a getaway we like to watch tv late and was shocked they didn’t have a spare ALSO, when I told the girl about the fan not working in between rooms she didn’t even know what I was talking about, said she had never been in the family suites before so wasn’t familiar with that I DO NOT recommend staying here Go to Maple Grove or Plymouth, anywhere but here

We are staying here now and in the beginning the rooms are nice, bed was comfortable and the pool was good BUT if you are the last room on the second floor by the pool don’t expect to sleep It sounds like a heard of elephants non stop I mean non stop! I don’t know if the stairs are directly above it but it’s ridiculous

I don’t see any sleep in my future We have two young kids and it was so hard to get them asleep We have our sound machine blasting and still doesn’t even come close to covering it up If we didn’t have the kids we would have left (it’s that bad) Also the thermostat in the room doesn’t work at all and it’s pretty hot We never get away and I’m disappointed in the experience

Melisa

Conveniently located Clean rooms, clean hotel in general Breakfast was our favorite though

My 3 year old has never had so many options at hand to choose from so she was in heaven Also she wanted me to add “clean floors” to my review The staff was also super friendly So between myself & my toddler, we approve 😊The only con we had was that there were a bunch of drunk guys outside of our window last night We stayed here on a Wednesday night Not the hotels fault at all though

Rik Blak

Comfortable 3 rating for the room was for the heating/cooling unit Was not responsive and even though it wasn’t excessively warm it took hours to cool the room enough to get to sleep

Overall an ok place to stay It’s on me for not requesting a new room

This hotel was nice and clean throughout That goes for the room we stayed in friendly staff

Breakfast was good and had plenty to choose from Pool area was clean and spacious The public restroom in the lobby was nice and clean also The reason I didn’t rate it a five star was because we were not impressed by how beat up our room door looked It may not sound like a big deal but first impression is everything and it just made the hotel look a little tacky Overall it was a good experience

Brenda Wahl

We stayed at The Hampton in Roger, MN and Robert is an amazing asset to this company! He went above and beyond from getting us a room with a great rate to bringing towels within minutes of requesting them! Always smiling and accommodating! He is a valuable employee for your establishment! All because of him, we will stay here again and again when we visit MN!

If there were zero stars, that would be more appropriate In March, we reserved 10 rooms for our state meet in June We confirmed the week prior with our group reservation sales rep and moved the reservation to our athletic director’s card

When we arrived, they didn’t have rooms for us Every hotel was booked that weekend and our kids, who worked extremely hard to qualify for the state meet, had to wait for hours until we finally found a hotel in Plymouth (The Crown Plaza was AMAZING, btw!) The management did not help us find a place after they lost our reservation and we never got an explanation for what happened We were in a terrible situation and didn’t feel like the hotel helped us find a solution, nor did they offer us anything for their mistake Our kids deserved so much better than that!

Our Summer home away from home We call this home base for a nearby family reunion every year and love the comfortable, clean facilities and family friendly vibe The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly and they stick around year after year, you can tell they like what they do and strive to provide the best possible experience for you

In true midwestern spirit there’s always people hanging out and talking in the front lounge and lobby kitchen areas so feel free to amass the troops there before you head out for the day, chances are you’ll end up in a conversation with someone you’ve never met before which tends to be a fun experienceThe rooms are maintained at a very high level of order and cleanliness and we’ve always felt safe leaving our bags during the day The pool facility is always clean and they offer a work out room which I confess I have never used A work center is available to guests with a computer and printing capabilities, and wifi and televisions are provided with each roomThis is an overall great place to stay during your trip and is always our recommendation to family who are attending the reunion for the first time I’d give more than five stars if I could

We had two very restful nights here right along the river The camp management was very accommodating and friendly It is well maintained and easy to get into

Many campers are here long term and the environment felt safe and welcoming I love the patriot feel of this camp that is nestled at the back of a trailer park It was cold and wet when we stayed but would be beautiful in good weather Highly recommend it for the serious traveler

Randy Mundle

It’s a hidden jewelIf you are looking for a piece of heaven without driving far River Terrace Park is it!Peaceful , all campers were respectful and quite after dark The owners are real stand up Americans Worth every penny!

Brent Bolin

Great RV park Kinda starting to see signs of neglect UPDATE

the water at this park is horrible It’s very hard and smells awful I had to change my filters out once a weektaking a shower was like a slime shower First night on the road heading back to Texas and took a good shower and felt clean Someone needs to do a water test Gary is the owner he is a nice man but needs to install a water filter system Be prepared if you go to this park get you a DI water system Not just a filter

I’ve been to this hotel many times just to use the water park but this time decided to stay the night The room was immaculate, not a spot of dust or dirt to be found Staff were super friendly and helpful ( can’t say the same for the children that work the water park area ) but the staff who clean and worked the hotel were amazing

The water park is fun for all ages but do not expect the youngsters that work it to help or give guidance in any way

I’ve been going to this waterpark for years I get that the pandemic has hampered hiring, but it’s pathetic that they can’t do a load of towels in 6 hours Why not issue one towel to each guest as they enter and make their wristband? Rules are super lax unless you accidentally take a tube out of the lazy river

Chemicals are through the roof in the hottub Most likely due to the large number of kids allowed in by disrespectful parents and lack of staff Apparently you’re allowed to bring in giant tumblers of “mommy’s water” to avoid buying really reasonable drinks at the awesome concession stand I used to go once a year for the kids birthday parties but will avoid for the foreseeable future

Haven Otten

It had clean rooms, but the thing that really got me was that the walls were so thin You could hear when anybody walked in the halls, and I could hear the people from the room next to us Also in the pool area, it was super hard to get a floaty especially the singular ones

So I was unable to go down the certain slide that required a similar floaty I wish I could have had a double floaty to go down it But overall it was fun will do again!
