    Was pretty shocked by the state of the rooms. Outdated. Dirty. Stains on beds. I felt gross my whole stay. Towels are horrible. Don't let the outside fool you. Can't speak on the casino, I don't gamble. Was put here for a work event.

    I spent the night here while visiting friends and family in Duluth. The room I stayed in was run down with broken bed frames and worn out furniture, burn holes in the carpet. I was expecting more up kept rooms from a casino resort- The "old" part of the hotel has been torn down- this newer part has definitely not been kept up. I did not use any amenities offered so i have No reviews on that- just that their rooms appear to in desperate need of a makeover or real maintenance to consider this a resort

    Used and abused. Wow...

    The casino was nice and clean. The buffet restaurant was also good. We stayed for the weekend and the rooms were really nice.

    It looks like it belongs on the Vegas strip, not off Interstate 35 in Northern Minnesota.

    My wife and I planned on taking a quick day trip to get some rest and time together and I had won a…read morevoucher for Grand Casino from a local silent auction. So we didn't have too many expectations coming in, as long as it had a nice hot tub and room, we would be happy. And that is what we found here. The rooms are updated and modern and very roomy. Beds are very comfortable and offer a good night's sleep. The pool area offers a huge hot tub which made for some good lounging time, albeit you cannot have drinks of any kind in the pool area, which was somewhat of a downer. The casino was not anything to write home about. We had some free play credits to use and the machine basically ate them without functioning correctly, so that was a total bust. Oh well, I don't gamble against the house anyways. Finally, we had dinner in their restaurant. The food was not bad. I enjoyed my seafood platter, it was filling and had decent quality seafood. My wife's BBQ mac and cheese was not great, more mac than meat. All in all, it wasn't terrible and we didn't pay much out of pocket for it. Finally, there is not a lot to do outside of the casino. There is a nice state park just up the road and you have Mille Lacs for fishing excursions, but not much more than that. I have never been to the Hinckley location so I really can't compare between the two. There is at least more to do in Hinckley. Oh well, as stated before, we were just looking for a bed and hot tub and that is what we found.

    As far as the food goes, not worth the $60 for two people. The food was mediocre at best. The…read moreshrimp scampi was Chewy. The meat not tender. The crab salad -missing the crap meat. Minimal options for the salad. The vegetable they served w/o starch was green beans. Choose another place.
