To begin, the hotel is very conveniently located and easy to access. I had a very nice suite with a King bed that included a good sized refrigerator and microwave along with an ample sized television in both rooms. I wasn't disturbed by any noise within the hotel even though a child's birthday party was happening directly below my room. Breakfast was fairly standard continental fare but definitely adequate. I didn't use the pool or hot tub but they appeared to be well maintained. The price was reasonable and I'll be definitely using this hotel again in the future.

My kids and I were passing through and only stayed for one day. We had a very good experience. I'll start with all of the pros and end with a con. There are a couple of things I can't comment on, so I'll just add that at the end. We had an excellent experience with the staff. Everyone was cheerful and eager to help. I didn't encounter anyone just sitting around. The hotel was quite clean. The entry was clean and nicely decorated. There were games to play or check out. I thought that was a nice touch. The breakfast had a good selection, though a bit heavy on the carbs. Bagels, toast, oatmeal, cereal, waffles. Plus vanilla yogurt, yogurt and berries, cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs. We had plenty of options. Coffee was meh, but they had half and half and vanilla creamer, plus a syrup of some sort. The room was pleasant and had a little bigger than we expected. We had a 2 Queen room. Plenty of amenities and clean. The door was heavy and felt very secure, which I appreciated. Loved the black out blinds for sleeping. The downside was that the beds were a little old and flat, plus wrapped in the plastic/rubbery waterproofing which was noisy and uncomfortable. Hard to regulate temp. I could hear every time my kids moved and didn't sleep the best. In addition, my room must be used for pets sometimes because my allergies, which are not usually super bad, really flared up with a stuffy/drippy nose. Ask for a pet free room if this is an issue for you. Overall, an excellent option for a small town stay. The pros outweigh the cons.

We do a considerable amount of travel and never had we had such a horrible experience. We needed to change our reservation to arrive a day earlier during that conversation we also decided to change our room to a suite unfortunately my mistake here I should have called when I didn't get a confirmation. We ran ahead of schedule so I called again about one week later and asked if we could get in a dy earlier I was told the suite would not be available so I asked if we could get into another room and move the next day I was too we will get it worked out for you so Tuesday we went to check in and of course we did not have a room the hotel was booked we had to drive to another town to get a room we go back the next day and check in went down and asked what happened to my suite the girl told me we didn't request a suite, later I told the entire story the very rude manager she did apologize for the girl that did not follow thru with my reservation but told me they did email me about the issue with the Tuesday night and I was to call them to see if I wanted the room that was available so I told her that was my suggestion and unfortunatelyheir email was in a junk file with 85 other emails and the reason I couldn't get the suite is they made a quick decision to update the hotel and my suite was not available. Should you decide to stay at the facility be very careful.

Another great stay, the hotel is clean, comfortable, and accommodating. As the only hotel in the area and with finishes that are starting age age, the staff works hard to make it a worthy stay. Outstanding staff!

Nice size king room with all the great amenities. The only drawbacks we noticed was it was somewhat dirty. The windows needed cleaning inside and out. Lots of dust around the baseboards etc. It wasn't something that made uncomfortable but, needed attention. The included breakfast was minimal. All in all, it's a basically acceptable property. The staff was extremely congenial and helpful.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise! Loved finding that the rooms were nicely updated. The bathrooms were dated but super clean. Nice little pool area too. Treat bags in the rooms were a nice touch. If you are looking for a place to stay in this area I recommend.

I stayed at the Paynesvile Inn and Suites for two nights as I was there to photograph a nearby wedding. Anyone that has stayed in a smaller town hotel knows, it can be really hit or miss with the quality of the hotel and ammenities that are offered. I was very pleasantly surprised by the available ammenities (coffee maker, fridge, microwave in the room; sauna, whirlpool, pool and breakfast in the general areas). Having realistic expectations (this is not a downtown city 5 star hotel) it was clean and reasonably preserved. Yes, some of the components were a little outdated (the shower curtain, heating/cooling unit, etc) but they were in decent operating condition. What made my stay great and why I give 5 stars is that the front staff was exceptionally pleasant and helpful. The room was clean, and the ammenities were great given other experiences I have had in smaller town hotels. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are in that area of central Minnesota.

We had reserved a 2 room King Suite with payment in full and a confirmation # prior to a wedding we were attending. On Saturday, June 20th, we called to see if we were able to have an early check in the day of the ceremony. The receptionist told us our room was not available as the prior guest chose to stay longer and they have a standard room for us. They refused to have the persons moved out of our room, also stating they would comp us $20.00! What if we wouldnt have called? We would have discovered this apon arrival. We were very upset as we have guests arriving to stay , and a 2 room was imperative. The receptionist was not going to make adjustments. Finally apon asking to speak with management we were given a one room King Suite with a pull out couch for 50 % off. We appreciated management intervention, but they must realize you cannot disregard communication with your guests.

I rented a room for about a day and a half, but it’s worth the trip of relaxation and fun! The pool is great, the hot tub was relaxing, my room had a jacuzzi which made my stay amazing, the employees here were so kind and helpful, and overall it was just amazing! For about a day and a half of the trip for two, it does cost about $334-$336 if it’s just two guests. They allow pets, but you gotta call and verify you’re room is a pet friendly room. You need to be 18 or older to rent a hotel room. No smoking is allowed. The breakfast is very delicious and a variety of choices. Honestly, I’d love to come again!

We stayed here for our family weekend to visit my brother and sister-in-law who have an apartment near by. This was a perfect location to stay with large rooms, a great pool, and close proximity to some of the awesome lakes without the prices of staying right on the lake. We ended up being rained out one day so we couldn't go out on the boat but it didn't matter because we played in the pool and borrowed board games from the lobby to keep us occupied.
I travel for 42 weeks a year, I stay in all types of hotel/motels small town and large cities. I took a chance on this hotel, it was a good call. I walked up to the front door and the first thing I noticed was the parking lot was clean, the front door was clean, no cobwebs no trash laying around, trash can empty and not overflowing. Right after walking in the hotel I noticed this clean smell, front desk was clean and uncluttered, nice music playing at comfortable level, front desk staff friendly and very professional. Walking up the steps to my room the corners of the steps CLEAN! In my room that clean smell I noticed in at the front desk continued in my room. As I looked around my room I was totally amazed at the care the housekeeping staff took to keep the room clean. The corners where the walls meet the floor CLEAN, the A/C unit CLEAN, all the tops of the mirrors CLEAN, the bathroom CLEAN! As you can tell by this long review the theme of cleanliness continues throughout the room and the entire property. Breakfast area again clean and looked well stocked with the basics, I am not one that gets too impressed with breakfast offerings, I believe that a clean and comfortable room far outweighs a continental breakfast. I highly recommend if you are passing through Paynesville stay at this hotel you will not be sorry. I am posting some pictures to show how clean they keep the room.

If you are in in Paynesville, this is the place to stay. What sets this hotel apart is the warm and welcoming staff. A special thank you to Peggy Taplah and Emma Twito for going above and beyond. Room was very comfortable. Thank you!

In town on business and found this to be quite the charmer, While it does not have all the amenities of the chain hotel, it certainly makes up for it in customer service. The staff could not have been nicer and more accommodating. The rooms were large and very clean. They have breakfast in the morning and are eager to help you find your way around the town. I didn't have the opportunity to use any of the amenities, but it all looked quite lovely. I would stay again.
