Spirit Lake Resort & Motel

“We stayed at Spirit Lake Resort for 3 nights, it was decent for a motel. There is a super cute and delicious Ice cream shop attached to it. The location is very convenient to local coffee shops, cafes, and gas stations. The motel offers plenty of fun activities to do as a family on the lake such as kayaking, swimming, playing on the beach, or just relaxing by the fire. The property owners are very nice and helpful. I love that they are dog friendly. The reason for four stars is simply due to the quality / cleanliness of the room. The room had a horrible musky odor the second we walked into the room. There were about a dozen flies in our room (very hard to relax when they are flying all over) and stains on our sheets ( I’m sure the sheets were cleaned but still kinda gross). They only offered three pillows on the bed and they were the smallest pillows I've ever seen ( good thing I brought my own). The bed itself was decent. The room just gave me “dirty“ vibes. There is only one trash can that is super tiny, located in the bathroom; with a toddler that is not fully potty trained, that trash filled up quick. My parents and brother stayed in a separate room down from my husband, daughter and I and they said they found small blood stains on the inside of their bathroom door. My mom was very displeased but the rest of us couldn't help but giggle about it and we made the best of it. Overall, cute motel (not a resort) and a nice location; not to far from downtown Park Rapids and Itasca state park. Spirit Lake motel could use improvement with cleaning their rooms and room service. You get what you pay for and if you choose to stay here, your getting the full motel experience!”

“A real gem hidden in plain site. The host was very informational and very hospitable. The stars were beyond belief and such a treat to watch them from the sauna. Thank you for that!”

“Stayed for 3 nights here while we attended the WE fest music festival. The rooms were comfy clean and tidy. I took a kayak out on the lake no problem life jackets are provided also. Didn't get round to trying the ice cream unfortunately. The staff were very friendly and helpful would.not hesitate to stay again if in the area.”
