Baymont by Wyndham Baxter/Brainerd Area

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room. Well maintained property. Good breakfast."

The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"This would be a five-star rating if not for the terrible mattress in our room. It was badly sunken in the middle and really brutal on my bad back. You could visibly see the depression. The rest of the facility was quite nice, clean, and well kept."
