Top hotels in Turtle Lake

Historic Strater Hotel
"Dinner at the Mahogany Restaurant was expensive and service was slow. My very pricey Caesar salad consisted of two small wedges of romaine, croutons thrown on the side and bottled dressing. Very disappointing given the overall cost of the meal. The entertainment in the bar/saloon was excellent!"
