Top Ruthven Hotel Reviews
Okoboji Inn & Suites
10/10 Excellent
"Very nice room. The bed was super soft so you sunk in. Bathroom was good."
Reston Inn & Suites
10/10 Excellent
"Clean, quiet, thoughtfully updated, friendly staff. Didn't do the breakfast do I can't speak on that but we enjoyed our one night there."
Bridges Bay Resort
10/10 Excellent
"The place was awesome except there was no microwave in the room. With most of the restaurants being closed down because they're only open seasonal you should at least consider that and have a microwave in the room. That is the only reason I didn't give five stars"
Spencer Inn and Suites
8/10 Good
"Overall a decent place to stay. It is showing some age but the room was pretty clean and the bed/pillows were comfortable. No frills but if you are just looking for a decent place to sleep this is ok. The air conditioner worked great but it’s the old style so you are in close proximity to the noice they make. Nice TV, bathroom and vanity old school but very functional."
AmericInn by Wyndham Okoboji
10/10 Excellent
"Staff called to let me know I had left an item behind within hours of checking out."
Travelodge by Wyndham Spirit Lake/Okoboji
10/10 Excellent
"The room fit our need perfectly. Very accommodating by putting us in a two bed room so our dogs were comfortable. Only charged us for one which was unexpected but appreciated."
AmericInn by Wyndham Spencer
10/10 Excellent
"Everything"
Lakefront Luxury! Spacious corner condo, wrap around deck. 6 BB waterpark passes
10/10 Excellent
"We really loved our stay. The condo was excellent and hosts were amazing at responding quickly to a small mishap. Great location. We loved access to the waterpark although the pool had a leak which didn’t allow it to be heated, so we mostly used the lakes nearby for our swimming. Only downside for us was the more kid-friendly restaurant on-site was quite overpriced for less than mediocre food - nothing the hosts can control for. We recommend heading off-site for food or making your own. We definitely fell in love with Okoboji and would come back to any of the hosts’ properties."
Super 8 by Wyndham Spirit Lake/Okoboji
8/10 Good
"The hotel was good for us for just an overnight stay. Had a nice visit in the morning with a woman who was working in the dining area/kitchen. The room smelled like smoke when we walked into it. The bed was as hard as a rock."
