We just returned from a 3 night stay at the hotel/casino for our company conference. We arrived…read morelater in the day on Monday. The customer service at check in was lackluster, but I gave the employee a bit of a hard time and he cracked a smile, telling me it was his Friday-- all good! The room was nice. Double queen, a single chair, plug ins for all different charger types in several spots throughout the room, Keurig coffee maker and a mini fridge in room. My two slight "complaints"-- the A/C blew straight out into nothingness (I don't understand why they don't direct them INTO the main space of the room, at the beds) and the shower water didn't get very hot (maybe most people don't like to turn red when they shower?‍) neither of which were earth shattering or made my time any worse. Oh, and the pillows-- weirdly airy, hard to get comfortable on, but better than flat lumpy pillows! Can't make everyone happy The casino itself was very nice, all non smoking which I appreciate so much! A lot of slot options, table games (can't talk much in those as I don't play), self serve beverage stations located all over. There IS a smoking room in the middle area of the casino for those who don't want to go outside. There are also several food options. Caribou Coffee was my stop each morning (Mint Condition!). There was an ice cream and dessert place called Sweet Temptations (didn't get a chance to try it), a cafe as well as some sit down restaurants and more fast food type offerings around the back. Also looked like there is a sports bar getting ready to open. The hotel also provides shuttle service to and from several places in the area throughout the day such as Mall of America. That was a nice option for my husband who joined me but was not part of the conference. As for our event, I can only assume that the buffets and food that we had were catered by the property... most of it was pretty unimpressive and flavorless. I don't want to dwell on that too much, though, for this review. Overall, if I am ever back in that area, I would visit again.

She exceeded our expectations. The house is located on a very large lake property, facing south. The lake has a fair amount of motor boat traffic, but is crystal clear and allows to swim, fish, and kayak. The neighborhood is suburban, surrounded by developments, only 15-20 min from MSP. Stores are a 2 mile drive away. The house is generous and well equipped with cooking utensils, books, toys, games, kayaks, volleyball net, bikes, table tennis etc to providing ample entertainment. The master suite with the huge bathtub is humongous. The two bedrooms upstairs (a queen bed and a bunk bed in each) are generous in size and share a bathroom. The fourth bedroom on the main level is small in comparison and has more noise from kitchen and laundry room. Living room, master bedroom, and porch offer great Lake views. A gas fire place offers warmth in fall. We enjoyed s'mores and vino Rosso, generously provided by the host. The decor of the house is conservative. The kitchen and bathrooms were spotless and the grounds well groomed. A search for a lost shoe sent me diving under beds and behind couches, revealing that these areas need to be addressed by the housekeeping team. We had a wonderful time at the house. Adults, preteens and toddler loved the property and the sports opportunities. The lake is very close to the house - parents of young children must be on guard. A great place to enjoy family time.

There weren't many people at all but i do highly recommend this place just because of how clean everything was. Bedrooms were nice and modern. The shower was absolutely clean. Great hallways that were very well lit. Do you even had a pool and a fitness room too though I sadly didn't utilize them. The breakfast was a bit subpar unfortunately but overall, this was a nice place to stay at for the night.

I'm so glad that we were able to find it as it was so worth it. The restaurant is huge and has a cool bar area with multiple TVs throughout the entire place. The food coming out looked very good and our waitress told us about the special of the day which was a French dip sandwich and fries and so glad we chose to order it. The meat in the sandwich was super flavorful and the odds you sauce on the side was even butter to dip it in the french fries. We had an event to attend and needed a quick meal and this hit the spot. The only thing we could recommend is that they offer drinks in glass versus plastic.

The pool area was super nice. It was clean. They have towels everywhere. Lots of seating. There is a pool, a water slide, a kids splash pad, and a hot tub. We were very pleased with the pool area and had a nice time with our son. My only wish, is that you could turn off the splash pad as it was too loud for our son. A room with a pool facing balcony could be really loud as the pool is open until 10 pm during the week and 11 pm on weekends (opens on 7am). We recommend. We would stay again especially to bring our son to the pool and have family fun.

The female manager at this location lacks the skill set it takes to manage and deal with people. She screwed up our reservations and when I called out the employee who screwed up, it was her and she became hostile and instead of dealing with it professionally or like a human being; she turned into a giant ghetto b*tch and kicked us out and it sounded like she was trying to ban un from returning to the property. Stay classy, Shakopee! She didn't think we could find a room in Shakopee but she must not think normal people travel for work and not every hotel is like this property she supposedly runs: a drug-infested party brothel. It didn't take long and I found a better room, better deal, much better experience.

We all know you're coming here for the pool or for the track!…read more It's not a bad place BUT there are lots that need to better. In my opinion it's 2 stars because you're paying 126$ a night. So it's hard to expect a lot. The pool with the slide is the main attraction! It's great for kids. Lots of fun for kids 2 and under with the little kiddy pool and small slide. And a 4year old and love the big slide. Lots of places to sit and for adults there is a big hot tub. Down sides are: You have to use the phone and call for towels in the pool. Botha days there was zero sitting out. We have to ask for a shower curtain because they forgot to put one in! There is poor ventilation in the bathroom so there was lots of black mold and the tub was full of stains. The beds were fine and the tv selection is weak and could be better. Overall you're coming here for a reason. So the pool is worth 125$.
