Lake Okoboji Resort & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"The property was clean. It was a little dated, but they have been working on renovating."

Bridges Bay Resort

4/10 Poor

"Our stay at this resort was very disappointing, especially considering the price and expectations of a family resort. The walls were incredibly thin, to the point where it sounded like neighboring guests were in our room. Sleeping was difficult because we could hear conversations, doors, and constant noise throughout the night. The bed was also extremely uncomfortable. The mattress was overly springy and the frame felt loose and wobbly. The balcony railing was noticeably loose as well, which felt unsafe. The outdoor furniture was old, dirty, and constantly wet from gutter water dripping onto it. Cleanliness was another major issue. We found pork rinds on the floor from previous guests shortly after checking in, which immediately made us question how well the room had been cleaned. The toilet flushed very weakly and eventually plugged. Maintenance fixed it, but left behind a mess in the bathroom without cleaning it up. Housekeeping also does not service the room during your stay, which was frustrating and not clearly communicated ahead of time. The water park itself was fun for the kids, but getting into it was chaotic because of terrible pedestrian traffic flow and overcrowding. We also booked a room advertised to sleep six people but only received two water park passes, which felt misleading. Overall, the resort felt poorly maintained and not worth the cost."

Rodeway Inn Milford

4/10 Poor

"The main building on the west side of the street might be fantastic. Doubtful, but it might be. The annex on the east side of the street is poor. Probably an old motel they refurbished and added to the Rodeway. No hot water when they are doing laundry. You have to wait a half an hour after they finish laundry to have any hot water. Entry door faces west and gets hot in the sun and stops working. You have to block the sun for a while to cool off the lock so they key card works. Once inside, the dead bolt didn't work. The door still locked and there was still a chain. Inside surface of the door had two pieces of tape covering holes caused by...bullets? I don't know. The TV was a tiny monitor, 24 inches maybe, floating on the big bare wall. Humorous to look at, but not so fun to watch. But at least there was a remote - unlike in a friend's room in the same building. The room was reasonably clean and the staff was reasonably helpful in addressing our concerns. Not going to throw the staff under the bus. Ownership and management? Yeah, they are under it. We got the room for $105/night all in on Memorial Day weekend. In the Okoboji area, that's pretty cheap. Our expectations were low and the Rodeway Inn failed to meet them."
