Jill, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall nice stay with some exceptions

This hotel was in such a beautiful location in the Lutsen Mtns. And though I stayed in the lower level it was very quiet. However, there was a mild mildew smell in the lower level. The room was clean and well appointed. I stayed in a room with 2 double beds and one of them was quite lumpy. Fortunately, I was traveling solo and the second bed was quite comfortable. Food at the restaurant was good and so was the service. Usually, at nicer hotels there is an iron in the room and there was none there.
Karen, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

I will not stay again

My room was not clean when I got there. And the desk was not really under staffed. And due to the location not to have breakfast ever is a real shame
Colleen, 3-night trip

Our stay at Caribou Highlands was very enjoyable , Only Issues were , Parking if you are staying in the Hotel part of the building is not reserved, and did wish that Moguls was open for some type of Breakfast!

Gary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Meh!

It was just about bare minimum. Beds were quite uncomfortable. Linens didn’t feel great and they tried to pass a mattress cover as a comforter. Appliances very dated as well as pots/pans/utensils. When we got there, the old dishes were still in the dishwasher and the grill had old food stuck in it. It all felt a little ick. We did have enough towels and the restaurant was good!
3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Restaurant was not open Monday or Tuesday so no close food. Had to drive 10+ miles to find food. Lobby not open until 8am so no access to anything. No housekeeping offered so room never cleaned. At prices I paid service was very poor. Would never Stay there again
Jeff, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great property and very friendly staff. I paid extra for a mountain view room but could only see the trees blocking my view. Carpeting needs cleaning as there’s a musty smell in the main lodge where I stayed. They keep the common areas too warm, a lot of humidity that adds to the mustiness. Maintenance needs to take charge and have a regular cleaning schedule.
Scott R, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

More than we expected

Amazing views from our room. Free some more set up so you can have fun by the fire! Giant chess. Bocce ball and cornhole. The most amazing staff ever! Staff from all around the world makes chitchatting so incredibly interesting. Watch the gondolas go up and down the mountain. Beautiful gift shop. Far more than we expected. Absolutely beautiful and we will be back.
