Top Hartley Lake Hotel Reviews

The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, the staff was helpful. I didn't eat at the restaurant but my sons had breakfast and said it was better than most hotel complimentary breakfasts. We didn't use the waterpark but saw other people enjoying it. It looked like more for kids to me personally. We did use the arcade and played pool and had a good time doing that."
