AmericInn by Wyndham Okoboji

8/10 Good

"Room seemed damp with the humid weather. Very nice and quiet place to stay."

Lake Okoboji Resort & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"We have been vacationing in Okoboji Iowa for years. In all these years this was our first stay. It's located adjacent to Brooks Golf Club Resort. This in years past was all the same property. Under new ownership w new name and we decided to try it. Terrific decision! Check in was very easy. The lobby was clean and bright. The hallway to our room was clean and our room was excellent. New mattresses, pillows, and new linens were obvious. A Very nice room and bathroom w a separate vanity room. Exhaust fan worked great and the tub drained great too! The Lake Okoboji Resort and Conference Center is it's new name. Great bar and restaurant so you wouldn't have to leave if you didn't want. Great outdoor pool out near the 1 Tee box. The pool was very well kept too and it wasn't full of noisey kids. This resort does have another indoor pool and kids water play area so thats the pool the kids used! Terrific stay we certainly will go back! This year even! B and T ,Omaha Neb."

Bridges Bay Resort

8/10 Good

"We were terribly disappointed to learn after we arrived that the outdoor pool was closed for repairs. Our main intention was to lounge by and in the outdoor pool. Although we had access to the indoor waterpark it was definitely for kids and young families, not for two senior citizens like us. The hotel did offer a 10% discount which we accepted. Also the hotel clerk didn't bother to tell us that there was parking available much closer to our room which we discovered on our own, and also didn't tell us there was an elevator available to the restaurants on the back side of the hotel. After climbing the very long set of stairs the first time, we discovered the elevator on our own (which was through two sets of doors after going out the backside of our hotel. Otherwise, we enjoyed the stay very much."

10/10 Excellent

"Another amazing stay at the Central Emporium Penthouse Suite. Stunning views and all around comfort. Love coming to Lake Okoboji and the Arnold’s Park area. Was able to attend a couple of great concerts and enjoyed several amazing restaurants, bars and some shopping at Brad’s Bungalow and The Three Sons. Will definitely be back. Great host and accommodations. Thank you!"
