Cragun's Resort & Hotel

A spacious interior with a high ceiling, large windows, and a fireplace.

Location: Brainerd
Review: 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..., by Jake, February 21, 2016, rated 10/10 Excellent
