This place is a DUMP! From the minute I walked in to the minute I checked out I cringed every time…read moreI turned around. The clerks were clearly drug abusers, unkept, dirty clothes, uncombed hair. The in room safe didn't work. I complained about it the female clerk gave me a blank look. I asked her if any of them worked in the hotel. Again, a blank look. The employees are total imbeciles. I have some valuable items and medicines which I wouldn't dream of leaving in my room. I had to pack everything up everyday and head out for the day. I came back and needed a spare room key. While waiting in line the staff was fighting over scheduling issues and the people in front had ti wait because their room hadn't been cleaned. The clerk informed them he would take 5 minutes and clean the bathroom. 5 minutes to throughly clean a bathroom??? My room. The sheets are wrinkled but I could find no other evidence of some sleeping in it but I suspect the sheets are old. The carpet is matted down, the door lock assembly is loose and the dead bolt won't engage. There is t one USB port in the whole room. Please spare yourself the hassle, the unpleasantry, and shear creepy nature of this place.

It was so fun to be part of some history and a clear labor of love on the owners' part. We got to read about how Whistle Stop came to be and it was truly very special to be a part of. The details were impeccable, from the wallpaper and sconces to the antique decor. We loved the two person jacuzzi tub, it let us relax and stay warm on a very chilly night! I especially love that breakfast was delivered and we got to eat it on the original benches in the train car. This was a truly spectacular experience. I highly recommend it! The only piece of feedback I have is that the website should make it much more clear that the train whistles can be heard at all hours of the night. We're pretty deep sleepers and only woke up once, but they are LOUD and honestly, if you're a light sleeper, this is not the place for you. That being said, I looked into reviews ahead of time and knew to prepare for this, but the owners should do this as well.

I personally loved the proximity to an active train line and could hear the whistle blowing as the trains would pass from time to time. I intend to stay in some of the other cars in the future. Our stay was completed with a wonderful breakfast.

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!!

They were very busy and for us to have the order put in would've been almost nearly another hour to wait. We had to get grandpa some food as he was crashing fast. Fortunately the barbecue place next-door save the day and got us food quickly. Used to really enjoy the otter and everybody there is very friendly. However no offer to cover or discount our appetizer onion rings and a couple of cocktails we had ordered while we were waiting for the food for again nearly 2 hours. Not exactly the kind of Customer Service I expect when I'm in the Midwest. I will say the onion rings were delicious but since that's the only thing we were able to try that's all I can say and that is where the two stars come from. Never like to leave reviews like this but unfortunately was not acceptable in any stretch and no attempt to try to make things right it was simply ....sorry about that

I have heard the lake is beautiful but we have not been out on the lake yet! We always look forward to our next stay!
