Chippewa Valley Regional Airport (EAU) is located in Wisconsin, and Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport (BRD) serves central Minnesota lake country; both are best suited for travelers starting or ending their trips in those respective regions.

There is no water in the room. You need to ask for it from the front desk. The bathroom has soap used by the previous tenant. The room lights are dim and the TV is old. Overall, it is worse than expected. But compared to other hotels at the same price, it is very good.FromUS$105

Beautiful old girl, kept elegantly up to date. My King room was tastefully furnished but the older heating system was a bit noisy and I had to crank it to 25°C to combat the -14°C external weather coming in through the window. This overheated the room everywhere except near the desk, where I needed to work for most of the evening. Brisk! Shower was blissfully hot. Towels, robes and toiletries all stylish but does anyone else have trouble getting product out of those tiny Aveda bottles? You need a vise-like grip! Doorman was lovely but front desk only brusquely efficient. A little more warmth on a cold night would have been nice. Hostess at the Grill even colder! This was all made up for the next day with exceptional service, smiles and warmth at The Drake, where the blueberry salmon and eggs on toast shouldn't be that delicious but IT IS! Please try it!FromUS$130

I chose to book here because the Intercontinental offers room service which is hard to find in other hotels. The room we booked was a private access river view room with breakfast, I thought there would be a different lift (my kid is loud) and I was wrong. We used the same elevator but needed a swipe card to get to our floor. We didn't have a phone in our room, which was weird, however, the front desk texted us and sent someone immediately to handle our room service order, which was great. The room is not very big. Room service and breakfast were great and reasonably priced, and we liked their staff service and food service the most. By the way, parking is valet only and it's not easy to find parking on the streets near the city center.FromUS$90

The hotel is located 5 minutes from Mississippi and in front of the Hockey Stadium, where there are a large number of events and concerts. The hotel is located in the heart of the city centre and is located in the heart of the city centre. The only negative thing is that one day we left the room somewhat late (111:30) and when we returned to 20:00, they hadn't made us even beds, and at the reception they told us they couldn't fix the room anymore and if we wanted they would give us clean towels. The hotel is very good.FromUS$101

I’ve been staying in a bunch of hotels lately but this one was by far the best. Classy, polite staff. Our original room had a broken fridge, so they immediately gave us a new room. Most comfortable bed of all the hotels we’ve been in lately. Finally got a good night’s sleep.FromUS$95
