Top Aitkin Hotel Reviews

Pine Peaks Lodge & Suites

Pine Peaks Lodge & Suites

10/10 Excellent
"We were guests for 3 nights in a 1 bedroom Suite. Everything was clean, and staff was readily available each time we entered or exited the lobby/property. There is an awesome restaurant on sight. The room furnishings had a "cabin" feel including pine log furniture. The rooms had been updated without compromising the cabin feel. Our only suggestion would be to eliminate the un-used jetted tubs in the living room area and utilize that space for additional seating and a larger wall mounted TV ( just a suggestion, not a negative). Overall, we enjoyed our stay and YES would stay again."
