AmericInn by Wyndham Wadena

Took a very long time to be checked in. Had to go back to the desk multiple times to finish check in. Rented a suite. No blankets or pillows for the pull out couch. Asked the desk for 2 blankets and was told she only had 1. No chlorine smell coming from the pool making me question if there was even any in it. Tried the sauna, but had to wait about 30 min before it even started to warm up in it. Sat in it for 5 min, while it was still fairly cold, and ended up with a nasty coughing fit & massive piercing headache so I went back to the room. Couple mins later I ended up with a bloody nose. Dirty feminine pad was in the garbage. Whole room was outdated. Breakfast ******. Prepackaged waffles that you put in the toaster… tasted awful. The toaster waffles you can buy in the local grocery stores taste way better. Only food worth eating was the bagels. The bananas weren’t even edible. They were green. Like no yellowing to them at all. I highly do not recommend staying there.

Overall we had a good stay; the price was good, staff was friendly, and our room and the hotel itself was clean. The hot tub being closed was a bummer but my kiddos and I enjoyed swimming in the pool.

We were not able to get a room key as the machine was not working the front desk person stated. I find this very odd and I felt very uncomfortable about this situation.

The locks did not work for our stay, we were not given keys and had to keep our room door ajar to be able to gain re-entry. We had a pull out couch, not extra bedding in the room and they seemed rather anointed when we asked for some. Hot tub did not work. Phone in room did not work so you couldn’t call the desk. I have immobility issues so this was t easy, especially being one of the farthest rooms from the desk. The phone was bitterly not plugged it to anything. No cords to or from. Nothing but a decoration piece. I had asked to changed my reservation because I was getting in later then expected and they refused. I think this is pretty ironic seeing there were so many issues, and concerns for safety at the time. We usually come up and stay there a few times a year but this was just awful and how they would work with us even though they couldn’t lock their own doors. We should have been notified of this prior to our arrival and been asked if we wanted to cancel or change dates. Not super convenient to have to take everything with you each time y oh leave the room in case some random person would walk in.

My fiancé and I stayed overnight for a family Chris**as event, and when we finally did arrive at the hotel, the staff were extremely nice and professional at check in and other encounters. The room was very clean, and the bed incredibly comfortable. The room may have been a little outdated, but it felt warm and inviting… And we now have a favorite hotel in the AmericInn in Wadena. My fiancé loves the family friendly a**osphere also, lots of children with their parents at the pool!

The locks on the doors didn’t work so you couldn’t leave anything of value if you went out of your room. Had to move rooms because we had no TV remote. Staff was fine. TV was small. Don’t know if we will stay there next time. $140.00 is a lot to spend if not able to leave your room.

Check in was frustrating. The woman working the front desk seemed confused that the two rooms I booked had already been paid for. The key card system was not working so we couldn’t get back into our room without assistance. Remote for tv didn’t work. At least our stay was simply to sleep.

The sofa in the room was a sleep sofa. Cushions in terrible condition and it couldn't even be used. Pool was not available either because of maintenance issues.

As one of the only hotel options in Wadena it's not a bad place to stay for a couple of nights. Knocking it down a couple of stars because the key writer was broken during my stay so I had to go to the front desk to be let in my room every time I came back which was a bit weird. Also, based on previous reviews and my experience it seems like the hot tub is perpetually broken which is kind of a bummer. That said, staff were very accommodating and I would likely stay here again the next time I'm in town.
