"If I could give this location a 4.5 I would. I generally reserve 5's for luxury or "above and beyond" locations. This location is exactly what it appears to be, a "cozy" motel outside of town that appears to be being rehabbed. It was in reasonably good, clean condition and well appointed. I say reasonably, because there were definite signs of age, the bathroom door didn't pull tightly closed, and there were some cobwebs here and there, but nothing you might not expect from an older, countryside...

My room was right on the water with a large belcony and an electric fire place. Pool and hot tub open year round. Bar and restuarant on site. Great place.

Unusual experience at Days Inn Baxter. The first night of our stay severe weather hit the area. When the storn srens sounded the staff went toom to room to make sure all guests were informed and safe on the main floor of the hotel. They were professional and wanted all the guests safe.

Was a very comfortable room! The bed was very comfortable and clean. Clean and updated room. Was surprised when I got into the room and noticed a jacuzzi tub! Was not expecting it.

We left a valuable item in our room accidentally and the staff called to notify us and mailed it to our home. They went above and beyond. The room was nice, bed comfortable and quieter than we expected.

The front desk was very friendly. We had some special requests and they took care of them before we got there. One request was sent just an hour before we arrived. The wheelchair accessible room was nice and clean. There could have been a little more room to maneuver/turn around in the wheelchair. Had elevators between floors. Nice pool and hot tub.

This resort converted the old spa to new rooms. For the price of a normal motel, the rooms are twice as large, have sliding glass door to a deck overlooking the lake, gas fireplace. Watch out for the bathtub, they are slippery. Also, my room was so new it totally lacked any artwork to breakup the walls.
The resort buffet breakfast is far better than any normal motel and comes with the room. The dining room has expansive windows overlooking the lake. The are older ladies there to make sure...
