Went with the family to the seafood buffet at St. Croix Casino Turtle Lake. It opens at 4pm, not…read moresure when it closes. The food was absolutely worth it. Prime rib, crab legs, lots of seafood, great salad bar. At 36 dollars per person with soft drinks included, very fair. Didn't try alcohol, so can't speak to that. But honestly, this is about the people. From the moment we arrived until the time we left, Desiree was on it. She wasn't just taking care of our table, she seemed to be everywhere, checking on guests, clearing tables, helping people, always with a great attitude. She noticed my elderly father was having some difficulty, and without being asked, helped him with his plate, condiments, and getting settled. The rest of the staff was warm and helpful too, including the carver, who was friendly and welcoming. One thing that stood out to me as a guest, we saw a table leave a pretty big mess, and it was a reminder to all of us to make things a little easier on the staff by stacking plates and consolidating where we can. Overall excellent food, outstanding value, but the customer service is what we'll remember. Desiree went above and beyond, and the whole team made our family outing enjoyable. Five stars.

Although 60$ on a Sunday night in the middle of winter seemed a little on the high side. You can, however, get a 15% discount if you go over to the casino and apply for one of their players cards. Beds were fairly comfortable, room was clean, and they offer a continental breakfast with a make your own waffle station. There is also a pool although I didn't get a chance to check it out. If for some reason you're coming to Turtle Lake to gamble, this is probably a good option for you due to proximity. Otherwise, might be worthwhile to shop around.

My room was very clean, the main area was impeccable and the pool area was very nice. I was very impressed with everything. The staff - from the front desk to the maids - were friendly and helpful. I had 5 kids with me so if you were going to get crabby with a guest - it should've been me. One kid spilled an entire glass of apple juice everywhere ... then knocked ALL the utensils on the floor at breakfast (like 100 spoons, etc). The girl working the front desk was also manning the breakfast area, and she just pleasantly helped me clean it up with no issue. I will definitely stay in this location again.

When we arrived it was later in the evening around 10:30. Came in with a large group of kids and was told the pool was open until midnight. We suited up and hopped in the pool (heated). It was a little after 11 and we were the only ones in the pool. An employee came in and told us that the pool was closed to kids at 11 and if anyone came in to pack up and leave right away. The reason this was an issue was we were already told we could swim and the employee had an extremely rude attitude. If we had known that kids could not swim after 11 we wouldn't have even bothered using the pool facilities.

You could tell this is a locals spot which when the place is packed with locals, it must be good. Lots of local advertising art and it appears they support the local school in the area. There is nothing fancy about this little bar but wow, what a gem! The bartenders were super friendly and attentive. The place is clean. I had a good view of the back kitchen and it looked pretty spotless which is so important. I ordered the BLT with fries. It was a typical BLT and the fries were hot and crispy. My husband ordered a crispy chicken sandwich with tots and they were both crispy and delicious. Although both of our meals were good, we soon regretted not ordering the burgers when we noticed them come out of the kitchen. Looked amazing! Next time for sure. Make sure you stop in and support this place if you are in the area.

We'll things calmed down after lots left for the wedding. Fortunately it really was pretty quiet during the night. I was kind of ready for noise with people returning from the wedding. The bed was very firm so I didn't sleep too well but I guess that's the breaks of staying in a hotel. We did go to the pool and there was a funky smell and the water was greenish. I think it needs a good cleaning or something with the filter. Our suits did have a weird smell so I soaked them when we got home. Hopefully they'll be ok. We did appreciate the bottle of water we got at check in. Thank you. As for breakfast there was no where to sit so we decided not to stay. That was a bummer.
