Holiday Inn Express & Suites Rice Lake by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This place was awesome! Great location and very clean. The staff went out of their way to make it a great stay!"

Shell Lake Lodge, a Travelodge by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"Room lights too dim, especially in the bathroom area. Otherwise very good overall."

AmericInn by Wyndham Rice Lake

8/10 Good

"Loved that the cute little Norwegian restaurant was in the same parking lot. The front desk lady was DIVINE. She said she had been there like 25 years! ROCK ON! The smoke detector went off in the middle of the night, but the staff was quick to remove it. The only downside i had was I paid for the late check out for 1pm, and was approved that morning. Their computer told them it was noon. Not really the staffs fault, but the front desk clerk didnt really seem to believe me. So when he called me at 1230 and asked if I was leaving, I said no. I had a 1pm check out time. We went back amd forth as to be expected. However, I really didn't like the tone he took with me from the get go. I showed him my email confirmation when I checked out. No apology, I understand his computer system did him a dirty. Just saying it didnt make me feel valued. Loved the hot tub! It was actually hot! Got my pool fix!"
