We live in the next town and wanted to check out the new hotel before we recommended it to visiting family and friends. Three couples rode by boat on Lake Minnetonka and parked at the hotels dock for the night. (Very nice boat dock guys) We checked into a corner king suite. The room was large and lovely. We had a big bath with separate toilet. Our bedroom was decorated in white, tan and light wood. The bed was very comfortable. The best part of the room was our view of the lake from our large balcony that comfortably held all six of us at happy hour. One couple had a regular suite with lake balcony. This room was a bit smaller without a separate toilet but otherwise identical. The last couple had a room overlooking the parking lot. This room was a match of ours at nearly half the cost. So, if you just want a place to lay your head or it is winter, this room could save you money. We ate dinner and breakfast the next morning at the restaurant which was very good. The chef gets in early and the donuts are baked fresh each day. The beach is raked and nice for kids to play. The outdoor deck area has seating and a view. We have stayed at the Landings in Wayzata which is about the only other Lake Minnetonka lodging option and while it is very cute and the town of Wayzata is wonderful, we preferred this hotel room and its proximity to the water. We are thrilled to have another option on the Lake! I recommend the hotel! It would be a fun spot for gatherings!
