Holiday Inn Otsega MN

Here is our family hotel review.

Otsega is just to the north of Minneapolis and is a beautiful little town. Though getting around is touchy as the highway cuts right through town.  

Room: we are in a deadly room with lots of space for the 5 or us. King bed in a  separate room, bunk bed and table in another room and a living room connecting the two with a little 'kitchen'.  

And it has tonnes of closets, and our youngest claimed one as his fart closet. And visited it more than a few times throughout the evening. 

Pool: Super duper! It is a great water park that is no additional cost when you have the hotel room. 

The little kid section at the top was a hit. And the round pool just off the lazy river was fun as it was a whirl pool, not a hot tub but a whirl pool.

Along with the little kid area and lazy river was a water slide, a tube slide and a tube slide with a toilet bowl (as the kids called it). 

 

This is the actual swimming pool with basket ball nets. And the water slides in the back.

Breakfast: No free breakfast at this place. So we will be dining a la microwave waffle and cereal. 

Overall: This is a fairly new hotel and is nice and clean. The carpets look like they went through a few hockey teams playing mini sticks. But overall we would recommend it for families. The biggest drawback is that there are not a lot of restaurants nearby.
