It looks like they have all new carpeting throughout, updated furniture, etc. Nothing in our room, or the common areas is raggedy... much nicer than the Holiday Inn Express we stayed at the other night on the way! The staff is just plain awesome... friendly, helpful. We had some friends come to play in the pool, and while they charge a little bit for it, it's a pittance to get some swimming in when it's 26 degrees outside! The pool is good sized, and they have a changing/restroom area for outside guests. They also have a good-sized hot tub. All-in-all, this is my new go-to place to stay when we're in town.

Shockingly good! Cozy little spot right in town. Only drawback, no workout area but I guess they…read moreallow access across the street at a health club. Wasn't open when I was there. AWESOME pool for an AmericInn.

My husband and I enjoyed the seafood buffet at Turtle Lake and we were amazed that there wasn't a…read morehuge line. The cost was a bit pricey but it was a treat for us.

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.

Our room was luxurious with a huge bed, whirlpool and balcony looking out over the St. Croix river. They served us coffee and a hearty yummy breakfast in our room each morning which was truly pampering. We even scheduled a couples massage in our room which was really great. The innkeeper was lovely and the rest of the service friendly. An easy drive to hiking, stillwater's shops and more. We will be back again and again!

My wife and I stayed here one night. Booking was easy. It is located right off the highway, which…read moreis convenient. Upon arrival, the first thing we noticed is a strong chlorine smell. We knew immediately there was a pool. We checked into our room. It was clean. There was a jacuzzi in the room as well as the tub/shower in the bathroom. Our niece and nephew came for a visit and decided to use the pool. When we walked into the pool ares our eyes immediately started burning. The strong chlorine was causing people in the pool to cough. We left after a short time. There was way too much chlorine in the pool. The continental breakfast was about average, but good. The price was a little higher than I'm used to. The parking lot is small, and spots are not always available. This may be due to a large oarty that had booked the same time we were there. I will use this hotel again because it is in a convenient location.

The hotel is large and clean. The front desk staff was friendly and attentive. Our room was upstairs and was large, clean, and included a jacuzzi tub!
