We stayed for four days and were so pleased with our Suite providing us excellent views, even in frozen winter. Chris was an excellent host making us the most delicious breakfasts every morning. This is an architecturally unique place with gorgeous views and all types of rooms to relax, filled with thoughtful amenities. We got to tour many of the rooms all with private baths and nicely well done. We stayed in the Honeymoon Suite- a romantic suite equipped with a double Jacuzzi and a two-person shower. It's so convenient on the (frozen) waters edge walking distance to downtown and dozens of restaurants. We walked to many of the restaurants. Thank you Chris for helping to make our 'pearl' anniversary at the Red Bridge Inn in Parks Rapids so special.

Not sure how I haven't written a review of the red bridge inn…read more If you've stayed in park rapids hotels the choices are very limited. I'm here every few months. One of my coworkers stumbled on the red bridge (it's on the hiking trail system) and we have all made it our place to stay when in town for the last several years. Rooms are clean. I travel too much and that's important. Fairly good size. Well equipped with bathrooms etc. They are all different. It's a B&B with the hosts living off site which is not the norm. That makes it quiet!!! There are 7 rooms. The inn itself is on the river. Beautiful setting. Breakfast is what you want. I like a full breakfast. Bam. Friends like toast. What kind? I've seen folks get everything from 'just coffee' to a bowl of fruit or cereal. Just the way it should be Common areas are great. Large deck on the river. Large dining area- tables etc as well as a separate room with tables etc I suspect for meetings and groups. There's an area with couches and tv if that's your fancy. The deck is equipped with grills and a dock - it's on the river and they do rent boats. There's a hot tub. This is not a 5 star hotel. It is a clean well run place to stay wether on vacation or travel for work. 5 stars for me!!

Pretty nice hotel in Park Rapids that will meet your needs and you likely know what to expect. The…read morecharms of this place include that the lobby has a fireplace and is a nice, warm, and welcoming space. The continental breakfast is a step above many other similar hotels- they have waffles, the usual type of items (English muffins, danishes, etc), but also have a cooler with breakfast sandwiches, French toast sticks, and omelets. It was nice to see such a big variety of choices. The rooms are nice overall, no real complaints there. Nothing remarkable, but fit our needs. The hot tub was out of order, but there is a nice pool and a sauna. The pool roof has a lofted wood ceiling, which is always a pleasant design.

Where to begin ... We had a family reunion at the Park Rapids AmericInn and it was a disaster from…read morebeginning to end. Most of the rooms were not ready after 4:00 (check-in time). And here's the biggest complaint - I woke up on Sunday morning with a bug crawling right by my face. I pulled back the covers and there was another one. I'm pretty sure they were bed bugs. I ran into the shower, threw all my stuff into a big bag (and left it outside when I got home). When I told the desk and showed them my video of the bugs, the only thing I was told was they would let the managers know. I called the managers a few days later and they had no recompense, not even a free night. I would think bugs in my bed would merit some reaction, but nothing. I was told to call the corporate office. When I called the corporate office, they said it is the hotel's responsibility. Also, I should mention that my son's room had a broken lock so they told him he would have to come to the desk every time he wanted to go in or out of his room to get it unlocked (or leave it unlocked). Seriously??!! After waiting at the desk for a long time throughout the evening because no one was at the desk when he wanted his door unlocked, he gave up and left it unlocked. Is there no one there that can fix the lock?? So now I find out our next family reunion is at another Wyndham AmericInn Hotel in a different location. I'm willing to forgive and forget so when I went to make my reservations, I saw that I did not get all my points from the bed bug hotel. I chatted with the corporate office to find out where the points were. After waiting on hold for over 15 minutes, I finally heard from the Customer Service person (I use that term loosely), who types that I'm only allowed points for 3 rooms per stay. Who knew??? Then he/she types "Is there anything else I can help with?" and signs off immediately ... so I guess I don't. My conclusion is that it is not a local hotel problem, it starts at the corporate office with really bad customer relations and no desire to provide customer service. I may find a different hotel close by for the family reunion this year - I don't want to give any more of my money to Wyndham/AmericInn (plus hopefully I'll have a better chance of not getting a bed bug room again). The photos are taken from the video I showed the front desk.

My only complaint is that we arrived about 90 minutes before check-in time of 3:00 and asked if our room might be ready. Was told that there would be a $25 early check-in fee! A friend was also staying at the hotel and not only was his room $100 more than our room ($250) he arrived 45 minutes early and was told there was a $40 early check-in fee! In all of our experiences of traveling I have never been told there would be a fee to check-in early, assuming our room was ready. Especially for checking in only an hour or two early. We did not check-in early. When we returned at 3:00 noticed others were also waiting to check-in. Some even made the most of it and were sitting on a blanket in the parking lot enjoying some beverages.

The beach was cleaned every morning by Louis, one of the family proprietors. If we needed anything, Juanita or Louis was right there for us. They care about their guests and give their property TLC.

I mentioned the mouse droppings when leaving and was told the cabin is 90 years old and mice get in, and was told I should of taken the batteries out of the smoke detector if that bothered me. There is no internet or TV service. We left a day early because we couldn't handle another uncomfortable day. The owners were unconcerned as you can see by their responses and actions.
