Was in town to speak at a conference held at Maddens. They told me a week ahead of time (in early May) that they wanted $180/night. Forget it. So I looked here, liked what I read about Crossings and gave it a try. $71 + taxes for a very nice room and good free breakfast. Forget staying at Maddens unless... More

This was quite possibly my favorite hotel I've ever stayed at, especially for the price ($79/night)! It was cheaper than any other place in town and probably the nicest! The pool was HUGE and in a gorgeous, vaulted ceiling room with windows all around. The whole place had a cabin feel. The King room blew us away. It had a... More

My wife and I stayed at The Crossings by GrandStay in Baxter recently on an overnight trip to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were not familiar with this small chain located primarily in the upper Midwest but decided to try it after seeing other TripAdvisor reviews and comparing prices with other options in the area. For under $70 before tax... More

My husband, 17 month old and I stayed here over Easter weekend 2013. We had reserved a King Suite--the website indicated that for King suites, you get to choose between a fireplace or a jacuzzi tub. My husband called to confirm our reservation and ask about the jacuzzi and we were told that for that room, it would be an... More

The hotel is located on a frontage road on Highway 212 just a half mile west of Highway 371 in Baxter. It is very easy to find as it is near two main roads and it is also across the street from a large Home Depot. My wife and I stayed in a large room with a very comfortable King... More

We stayed at this location on 12/23/12 and it was VERY disappointing The carpeting was filthy. To our surprise, they only have decaf coffee in the lobby with NONE available in the rooms. The breakfast was average at best. At checkout we weren't even asked how our experience was, jus process the payment and goodbye. I travel to the Brainerd... More

My husband and young child opted for a hotel this holiday season while visiting family in MN. After researching every option within a 15ish mile radius, we were a bit discouraged by the abundance of negative reviews. Crossings looked the nicest, yet was easy on our tight budget. We chose well! The hotel was incredibly clean, quiet, and service was... More

Rooms were clean, quiet and comfortable at a great price. Bathroom area was a little small but definitely adequate for our stay (3 adults). Complimentary wireless in the rooms & public areas. Breakfast was good, not a large variety but plenty of food. Did not use the pool area but walked through--it was clean but not a water park if... More

We have had challenges finding a clean, convenient and friendly place to stay in the Brainard/Baxter/Motley area for quite some time. Typically you pay much more than you should for a hotel in this area of the U.S. but this location offered a very fair rate over our Labor Day holiday while visiting family. We were very happy with the... More
