There is so much going for this place, but it feels like they're not taking full advantage of what…read morethey have. Location is great - easy to get to, right on the lake with many rooms that not only overlook the lake but have balconies that you can go out on. It was really nice to sit outside of my room and read while viewing and listening to the lake. There is a bike/walking trail that goes right past the hotel for an evening stroll, and the hotel even has bikes for rent. Plenty to do if you've got kids. This hotel has not only a beachfront/swimming area, but you can rent pontoons, kayaks as well. They have a playground area outside alongside the hotel. The pool area is spacious and has a small arcade area next to it. I didn't go to restaurant/lounge, so can't speak to it, but it's nice to have the option in-house. All of these amenities in total add up to what could be a amazing destination, and yet it just feels a bit tired and worn down. The carpeting in the hallways was not in good shape, and overall upkeep seems a little lacking.

I was offered an opportunity to leave a review, but I'm not complaining to this location where they will bury it in a drawer. There are at least 5 other chain hotels in Detroit Lakes. This one is not worth the cost at half price. DO NOT stay here. This place should be stripped of its affiliation with Holiday Inn.

General: Stayed here in May 2024 for a work conference…read more Location - Great spot a short walk from Detroit Lake and right off the highway. You have a Casey's Gas Station (great pizza) right next door and town is just a couple miles down the road. Rooms & Building - Hotel is standard to other Country Inns I have stayed at. Neutral wood tones with moderately comfy furniture and grounds. My room was in decent order. Lots of places to charge my electronics and a very comfy bed. Microwave and small fridge included. Amenities - There is a nice pool, sauna, and hot tub setup on one end of the building. There is also a fire pit table outside on a small patio attached to the pool area. The lobby sitting room is pretty nice and a comfy place to read a book or take a break. Free coffee is available during the day and cookies at night (if you can snag one before they are gone). Food - There is a free breakfast buffet offered at this location. The breakfast layout is your standard waffle bar layout. Hot options include eggs, potatoes, breakfast meat, sausage gravy, and waffles. Continental options are available too such as yogurt, cereal, breakfast breads, fruit, etc. Vibe - Lots of rules with fines at this location. No early check-in or check-out unless you are willing to pay extra. Staff were not very present, seemed to be away from the front desk a lot but they were nice enough when I met them. I chalk up the lack of staffing issue with the issues related with hiring enough people in the area. Reality vs. Online - Online pictures that I saw on their website matched the quality and condition of the hotel and rooms. I did not witness any of the damaged property photos that some reviewers have posted. Hotel shows minor issues of wear but that is to be expected. Price & Final Verdict - I paid about $120 for a room per night. Not a bad option when staying in the area. This location can be considered one of the middle of the road picks for Detroit Lakes.

That, combined with uncaring management, has taken "hospitality" to a point where we won't be coming back. 1. The room price was different for each of the two weekdays we were there. The clerk stumbled and fumbled a response, suggesting that it was a Booking.com issue. 2. The shampoo bottle holder was broken. The bottle was resting on a corner of the bathtub. When we removed it, what appeared to be mold was on the bathtub where the bottle had been placed. It had to be there for quite a while for that to occur. 3. There is no counter space in the bathroom to place toiletries. 4. A grab bar was located behind the toilet, positioned under a glass shelf. Still struggling to understand how someone needing to grab onto the bar would be able to do so. 5. The toilet did not appear secured to the floor. 6. The shower head was too high on the wall, making it difficult to reach, and it was not possible to adjust the head. 7. Tacky, handwritten notes indicated that several juice dispensers in the eating area were out of order. 8. The desk lamp had no shade. 9. The TV was maladjusted; the picture quality was horrible.

We were traveling through Minnesota and stopped in Detroit Lakes for the evening when we happened…read moreupon Holiday Haven. I love the location of this place. It is within walking distance of restaurants and pubs, and there is a lovely public beach right across the street. Now, this is not a Holiday Inn or a Doubletree. If you are looking for a room that is modern and offers conveniences and luxury, this is not where you want to stay. BUT, if you are looking for a comfortable and quiet place to sleep that is within walking distance of fun places along a beautiful lake and you don't mind that it is outdated (in a charming sort of way), minimalistic, small, and basic, then this place would suit you quite well. And the prices are pretty decent (i.e., you get what you pay for). A few things: they leave you only one roll of toilet paper (maybe ask for an extra when you check in, I be prepared to ask for more), there is NO shampoo in the room, there is no alarm clock (most of us have cell phones or other devices that have alarms, though), no phone. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would probably go back.
