We stayed here while in town for a 5K. We live just 45 minutes away so have stayed here previously a few times. This time I needed to write a review. First the hotel itself has a very nice lobby. Our room was very nicely decorated and looked very clean and new. OUr kids are 11 and 8 so we... More

Our family got together for the easter holiday at the waterpark located in the Holday Inn in Owatonna, MN. We went to Cabela's, which is a very short walk from the hotel. There are also several places to eat next to the hotel along with the restuarant connected to the hotel. Thoe rooms were large and very clean. The waterpark... More

I wish my husband read the reviews of this hotel prior to our booking. We drove 40 minutes out of our way to stay at a hotel that had a "water park" for the kids (9 and 6). The pool was ok with a body slide and a tube slide with a few other features. The hotel and room were... More

After changing my initial reservation, I called two days ahead to check on my reservation. I was told that all my reservation was cancelled. Since this was a family stay, we wanted a suite. There were none available, but I was able to get king rooms. Not much room for kids - they had to sleep on the floor. Elevators... More

Had a fantastic time with the kids 3.5 and 1.5 yrs old. For the price-what a fabulous deal! Had a 2 queen bed room-very nice. Water park was great! Slide with tube was very fun with 3.5 yr old on lap. Kids loved the little slide. Even had kickborads to use. Restaurant food very good, for breakfast try the California... More

We stayed for 2 nights, and I used Priority Club points. I'm glad I didn't have to pay amost $200 /night like some of the other guests. The lobby is nice, parking is easy and well lit. The front desk staff were welcoming, and I thought we'd made a good decision. The elevators were filthy, with the same big smear... More

This is a very nice hotel that is very family friendly. The waterpark is very nice, kept a team of 12 hockey kids occupied while the parents gathered. After the kids went to bed there was plenty of room in the lobby to gather for conversation. The water park had to shut down fo ra little while as there was... More

We wanted to stay at this hotel for the reason of the waterpark, well that was a joke. The waterpark consisted of two slides and a kids pool! The water was warm but the room itself was cold, and to prevent from freezing you had to stay in the water. The arcade was also a disappointment we went in there... More

This is my second review of this property. It has improved greatly since our initial visit. The restuarant service is still very bad. Our server had just gotten her tongue pierced and it was hard to understand her. The food was terrible and it really helped that the kids ate free because they barely ate. The pool was nice and...

We live in the Cities and were looking for a little getaway with a 5 year old and 3 year old. A friend recommended this hotel. Upon arrival at 11:00, I learned that they were on winter pool hours, which I did not see on their website! I figured if you have a hotel pool, it is open everyday, all... More
