Needs Updating!!!

2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Oct 2, 2018
The main hotel needs serious updating! For what they are charging a night, you can find much nicer lodging. The last time I stayed here was 20 years ago and very little has changed. Every window needs to be replaced. Cracks in the drywall, peeling/outdated wallpaper. Doors need to be sanded and re-stained. The one nice part was that the bathroom was recently remodeled. Next time I'd stay in one of the newer cabins.

Thank you for your comments. I'm sorry to read of your disappointment with some of the items that you feel need updating. We are constantly trying to improve the resort. We are currently replacing the patio doors and windows that need replacing and changing out wall coverings. We're glad you approved of the bathrooms! We hope you give us another opportunity in the future! Thank you again!

    Lovely location, rooms were nice and big, very clean. No fan in the bathroom, that was odd. The staff was all very friendly, we ate breakfast and dinner at the restaurant in the hotel, food was good and service was very good.
    Beautiful views of the lake from our room, plenty of space for a family of 4.

    This was our second year staying at Arrowwood over the Labor Day week for our family--sons, daughters and grandkids- end of summer vacation. We had a great time. The resort has so much to do , so no one was ever bored. We used the pools, waterpark, basketball court, playground, spa, rented a pontoon, etc. etc. We ate most of our meals at the Lake Cafe and outside Deck Bar & Grill and were never disappointed. The food is very good. Our rooms were clean & spacious. The staff always friendly and accommodating. Already planning our end of summer vacation at Arrowwood for next year!!!!

    Room tip: The lakeside rooms are spacious with a balcony and great view of the lake.

    We went with friends in their boat to have lunch here. Our waitress was wonderful and the food was excellent. The view can't be beat. I had a wonderful salad that was crisp and filled with wonderful shrimp. The rest of our party had the burgers, and another salad that was equally as good as mine. If we are ever in MN again, this is a must stop for us. Excellent!

    We had a very relaxing weekend here. The environment was clean, friendly staff and the water park was a plus. The brunch was amazing for $15 per person. The prime rib was delicious with all other breakfast fixings. The patio was great as well, great food and drinks.

    What a great resort. We stayed in the hotel rooms with other family ranging in ages from 4-62 and we had a great time, it had something for everyone. The kids loved the water park, the outdoor pool was nice and warm and there was also an indoor pool and hot tub. There was a marina on site for water rentals as well as several dining options on site. My only complaint was lifeguards were the most unprofessional I'd ever seen, the slide attendant was sleeping and lifeguards were seen chatting more than guarding and didnt seem to enfore safety issues, i saw multiple people walk right in front of the tube waterslide and get knocked over. Several other resort staff were far from friendly but we also had plenty that were great. I'd definately stay here again as its a great property just hope for improved service.

    Thank you for your helpful comments! We are so glad you enjoyed the resort and all the recreational amenities we offer families. Thank you commenting on where we can improve as well. I will be addressing the issue you had with the life guards. This is absolutely unacceptable and we will be using your comments when we retrain our guards to ensure it doesn't happen again!
    Thank you again, we look forward to your next visit with us!
