Star of the Lakes Hotel

I would never stay there and actually I didn’t. My husband and I checked in and checked right out after changing. The smell alone told me this place is not being kept up with. The floors were damp and we had a lovely infestation of ladybugs on the ceiling. Also, one of the workers had a robe and slippers on which was a bit odd but ok. Also, in this political climate, maybe not have Fox News blaring at the front desk.

Every single negative review is 100% truth. The staff literally looks and smells like they rolled out the beds and walked to the front desk. They also seem to live here as well. The carpets are definitely damp and gross. Thank God I brought crocs. The heat is turned off, and when you ask about it, they give you blankets. There’s a lingering smell of gross belly button all thru the hallways. And according to the previous reviews, this place seemed to have been a homeless shelter. I wouldn’t doubt that at all. As some may still linger around the property.

This place gets a bad rap in this review section. It is not a homeless shelter. The hotel is owned by the tribe that operates the shooting Star casino.some employees that work for the casino stay here long-term. The upgraded me to the Sweet room with a jacuzzi whirlpool for the same rate. Brent the security officer was Manning the roller Dog grill and offered me food and a Coke. I found the room clean and the people were very friendly and accommodating. I reviewed a lot of hotels so give me a little credit when they say sketchy this is not sketchy if you want to read about sketchy hotels look at my past reviews. IE international falls Minnesota....

I was really hesitant to book here due to all the bad reviews, but I’m glad that I did. The rooms were clean, they were just a little rundown. The shower and tub had paint pieces broken off, and it was rusty and a little gross just because of the look. The sink in the bathroom was also a little janky and would spray water everywhere. But other than that, the beds were clean, and so was everything else. I saw in one review that during WeFest the ac wasn’t working for them. We also stayed during WeFest and we had the opposite problem lol, our room was freezing cold the whole time. But I didn’t mind. But what made the stay worth it, was the front desk. They were nice the second that we walked in, and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. They answered all of our ques

Miserable stay during We Fest – avoid this hotel!!! I’m not one to write reviews, but this was hands down the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. We checked in and found the AC was off—assumed it just needed time. Came back 10 hours later to a room over 85 degrees. Tried to cool off with a shower, but there was no hot water. The TV didn’t work either. Went to the front desk twice and was told they were aware of the hot water issue and the AC units being bad, but “new ones were coming.” No one knew when anything would be fixed. They also said multiple other guests had the same complaints. The hotel was fully booked so we couldn’t switch rooms. Because of We Fest, every other hotel within 20 miles was either sold out or $400+ a night, so we were stuck. I told them I wouldn’t be paying f
