This resort needs capital investment and better marketing. I really hope this resort survives because it is one of a very few big resorts left in the area, but it does have the feeling of a business in a spiral. Everywhere I looked, I could see how this place must have been vibrant and full of life with the convention center, gift shop, diner, bar and grill, large number of rooms, multiple pools, etc. Now most of these areas are either closed or in disrepair. Very sad. For the size of the resort, it is much too big for the current number of guests there. I just hope it gets remodeled vs sold to developers.

Clean but stale cigarette smell.

If you loved the 80’s you will love the decore. It is clean, I checked for bugs and none were found. I can get passed the dated decore but the smell of old stale cigarette smoke bothered my allergies horribly. My bathroom vent fan also didn’t have a function light so I did my hair and makeup by sink light for the wedding I was attending. Also no wifi in my room to finish up and check in work stuff. Overall very clean and quiet but the smell was too much for my allergies, it was also a no smoking room. The main lobby had the same smell.

Discussing hotel, everything dirty, spider’s web you can see it inside the hotel around windows, the room bedding I don’t think they changed it after checkout because you can smell it, no even glasses to drink a water or cups for coffee, the only thing you can find in the bathroom bar of soap, the customer service at the time of the checking in was rude. Need lots of updates

We enjoyed how large the whole property was. There was a lot to do and it wasn't overcrowded. Only bad thing is, there are courts and other activity area's available, but they don't have rackets, clubs etc to check out.

Look somewhere else...

Pretty gross. No way that there have been any updates to this place since they won an award in 1997. Was staying with the rest of our team and it was probably our last.

Okoboji had record rains this spring, and that caused some flooding into the vestibule for our hotel building. The smell was awful, and we had to hold our breath going in and out of the building. Apart from that, the rest of the stay was fine.

Filthy rooms, friendly staff

The staff was friendly, but the room was FILTHY. Food, wrappers, empty beverage containers... sticky surfaces clearly not cleaned, the bathroom sink wasn't cleaned and neither was the bathroom floor!! It sounds like I am exaggerating, but I am NOT! I've never seen anything like this before. Also, the hotel property is in a state of disrepair. It looks half-abandoned.
Left on the floor of hotel room.
