Fantastic stay at Nisswa Hotel & Suites. The self check-in process was smooth and hassle-free, and the newly renovated pool area is a standout — tropical feel, clean, and very relaxing with the sauna and hot tub. The in-room kitchenette was incredibly useful and well stocked for basic cooking, and having Starbucks coffee in the room really elevated the experience. Top it off with an unbeatable location near downtown Nisswa and the lakes — this place checks all the boxes.

Since arriving at this location, I was throughly impressed. Having visited this place years ago, this place really got a face lift! I would recommend this place to anyone! Had a little bit of an issue with getting into the conjoining room, but staff was quick to help us out. Will definitely be staying here again!

This place was a mixed bag. The bed was good, clean sheets, comfortable, but the floors were not clean, especially the bathroom floor had some sticky substance on it. The front security door didn’t work so the hotel was open for anyone to come and go, especially without any front desk staff. They could use a bar of soap since the dispenser is not by the shower. Other than those few things, it was what I expected for the price point.

We had a really great stay at Nisswa Hotel & Suites. The updates are noticeable, especially the pool, sauna, and spa area — all were clean, modern, and a huge upgrade from before. Definitely one of the highlights of the stay. The location is excellent — close to everything in Nisswa and easy access to the lakes and local spots. Check-in was incredibly convenient. Not having to wait in line and being able to go straight to the room with a door code made the whole arrival process smooth and stress-free. Overall, the property has improved significantly. We would absolutely stay again.

The hotel was clean. Was looking forward to relaxing and watching TV after a long trip. The TV was not working. I called a number for the hotel and got an AI response, I left a message detailing the problem with the TV, and left room number and my phone number. At no time did any one contact me or come to the room to remedy the problem. There was no one else at the Hotel that was working. I was not happy about that.

Hi, we would highly recommend staying at this hotel. With all of the new renovations it's very clean and cozy. The on-site manager, Luke, was very professional and accommodating. The only minor item that should be mentioned is the quality of the hair conditioner in the pre-filled wall dispenser located in the shower. It was low quality and merely water being dispensed. Although, the hotel does provide the small shampoo and conditioner bottles to rectify this concern. Again, we will definitely look to stay here again in the near future.

This hotel is under new management. They have not a fantastic job renovating it. There is a great deal of attention paid to every detail by the manager. The rooms are very clean The beds and the linens are very clean and new they have coffee makers microwaves range in the room. The manager pays personal attention to almost everything that goes on in that property. I do not believe that any location is 100% perfect. Every place has room to improve. We got a decent deal for the hotel for our stay. We specifically reserve this resort so that we could enjoy the hot tub. We did enjoy it for the first evening that we were there and then the hot tub broke for some reason and we were unable to use it for the rest of our trip. That said I will 100% go back. That should tell you how I feel about the property.

This hotel is updating carpet, paint,beds, mattresses and pillows. They are going contactless but do have a caretaker on premise. My room number and code for it didn't come through so the caretaker was very helpful and pleasant to make sure that the code he gave us worked. I would suggest they look for a women's opinion on decor as it didn't flow well. Furniture was mis-matched although everything looked new. For $175.00, the price of the hotel room I would expect better quality towels and at least some donuts or cereal with coffee that is better than what is in the rooms. Bathroom door did not close all the way.

Overall, the property has been updated nicely with comfortable beds, decor, furniture and fixtures. Note, the lobby and entire front of the building smelled like marijuana all evening. Our room was not ready at check-in, but we were easily transferred to a different room. Sadly, there was no toilet paper, no towels and no handsoap. Staff apologized and replenished. There was a tiny amount of trash in a receptacle not emptied from previous guests - gross, but not a huge problem. Thankfully, the room was very clean and nicely updated. New curtains are needed as the existing ones are faded. Bedding, pillows and beds were excellent. The kitchenette was new and nicely appointed with a coffee pot, small fridge/freezer, two top stove, sink and cabinet. The bathroom vanity, toilet and sink are brand new and even had an exhaust fan for humidity. Heating and fan unit worked well in the room. The common area was clean and welcoming. There is a guest restroom w/shower, kitchen with stove, microwave, pizza oven and tables. The pool and hottub were wonderfully renovated. Pool temperature was chilly, but reasonable. Sauna was great. The space has a cute, tropical beach theme including new composite wood furniture as well as a patio sectional couch. The pool room is a perfect space for birthdays and other gatherings. The updates are nice, clean and welcoming - a much needed option for Nisswa lodging now that renovations are happening and the property is better maintained.
