AmericInn by Wyndham Baxter Brainerd

For my first visit, I was not impressed. I will give credit that the lobby and breakfast area were very clean and smelled good. After that it goes downhill. I really wanted to like this hotel because the price was great, the front desk person was very nice, and I love AmericInn hotels. After check-in, I made my way to my first room. Initial impressions were small but clean looking. I always check the bed well before unpacking and noticed a variety of hairs on the bed and when I pulled the duvet back, noticed some hairs on the sheets. Benefit of the doubt, it was probably from the cleaning staff. 2nd room... when right to the bed. No hairs but a variety of small yellow spots on the duvet with a larger one on the sheets. 3rd room... (This is when the nice, patient front desk agent promised we would find a clean room and printed off the vacant room list) Same issue as the second. 4th room... duvet looked good and sheets looked good so I said I would take it. Once I got settled and used the restroom, I saw that the bottom of the tub was dark (showered standing on a towel the next morning), the shower shelves were not wiped down from the last guest, and where the shower walls meet the tub it was all cracked and had mold/mildew. After working in bed for a bit I checked the pillows before laying down. I saw that 3 of the 5 pillows had yellow spots on them, but at least two were clean. Side notes... the internet was not good; breakfast was standard and ok; this was definitely not built as an AmericInn. I did see that the hotel will be undergoing a full top-to-bottom renovation, so I may give it a shot once completed but that's a big if. Overall, until the renovation is over it is worth the $50 to drive 20/25mins north to the AmericInn Pequot Lakes.

Great hotel! The hotel was clean, the rooms were very nice, and the front desk staff was friendly. I would recommend staying in this hotel. It is in a central area with lots of restaurants and stores close by and is accessible to all that up north has to offer.

The rooms were clean and the staff was a pleasure to work with. They filled every request without hesitation It was a perfect spot to spend our honeymoon. Would give more stars if I could thanks for the great honeymoon!! Thank your staff as well

The new management's dedication to improvement is truly commendable. The staff is not only friendly and attentive but also actively working to enhance the overall experience. Clean rooms, great service, and a sense that they genuinely care about their guests. A standout choice for any traveler.

Great hotel! Very clean and nice! I guess it’s under new management and they have done an amazing job with renovations! Price was very reasonable! And staff was super helpful and kind! Would definitely recommend this place to my family and friends!

Super friendly. Short stay, but overall no complaints. Love the area and location of this hotel. They are under new management and you can tell they are trying to make some serious changes. Curious to see the difference a few more months brings.

Great hotel! Very friendly staff and quick check in. The new owners are great and well informed about the hotel. The rooms were very clean with updated features. One of the better hotels in the area in my opinion! Will definitely stay here again!

I have stayed here multiple times and have never had a bad experience. I will never hesitate to stay here. Very conveniently located, and always clean. I have yet to use the pool or hot tub, but that’s because I’m usually in the area to scuba dive.

Gave us a room that had not been cleaned from the previous day. Once we said it was not clean with dirty linen heaped in the middle of the beds and trash cans full in the middle of the floor they gave us another room
