Description

Park Rapids keeps one of Minnesota's most charming main streets, a Northwoods town of lakes and pines that serves as the gateway to the headwaters of the Mississippi. The Heartland Inn & Suites, SureStay Collection by Best Western, makes a comfortable base in Park Rapids, Minnesota, close to the lakes, the rail-trail, and the old-growth forest of Itasca just up the road. About twenty miles north, Itasca State Park holds the headwaters of the Mississippi, where the great river begins as a knee-deep stream you can step across on the rocks before it winds 2,552 miles to the Gulf; it is Minnesota's oldest state park, all towering pines and old-growth forest. Back in town, comfortable rooms come with a flat-screen TV, microwave, and refrigerator, with a free breakfast and free parking on hand. A river's source, a hundred nearby lakes, and miles of forest trail all sit close at hand. Settle in and let the Northwoods set the pace.

"Rude manager, lousy shower"
Sandy B, 06 Juillet 2026

Shower was cold...left water running for 20minutes and it was barely lukewarm. Reported to desk. She kindly apologized and said she would report to the manager and we would surely get a rate reduction. After playing phone tag for several days, the manager offered a $20 refund. She said the shower worked and there was a hidden lever we were to pull to control the temperature. Lol. Manager was very rude and insinuated we were unable to intelligently figure it out, although admitted the desk clerk should have assisted. Breakfast was depleted an hour prior to ending and no attempt to restock. Do not recommend staying at this hotel.

"Happy Stay in Park Rapids!"
Txymt, 29 Septembre 2025

Very clean and welcoming staff. The breakfast is nice for hotel breakfast. I'm picky and I would highly recommend. If we're ever in the area again, we'll stay here!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and that our breakfast met your standards—even as a picky eater. We'd love to welcome you back anytime you're in the area!

"Great comfortable and spacious rooms, but a little pricey."
parksvisitor, 20 Septembre 2025

This is the best hotel in Park Rapids, but I'm not sure it is that much better than the competition as the higher price would indicate. The lower breakfast/lounge area is spacious and excellently furnished. Everything is clean and up to date. The rooms are also large and the beds comfortable. There's plenty of parking. There are no coffee makers in the rooms, but there is always coffee and lemon water available at the entry/front desk. The breakfast was about on par with other Best Westerns I've stayed it, but certainly not exceptional.

Owner Response, 20 Septembre 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and clean, up-to-date facilities. We also appreciate your comments about the breakfast and lounge area—your observations help us identify ways to continue improving our guest experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide an even better stay in the future.

"Heartland Inn- Highly Reccomended"
Chet M, 29 Août 2025

I apologetize for getting to this later. Steve, front desk was kind, accommodating and always greeted us and others with a positive attitude and a smiling face. The breakfast area was a full varied compliment of choices, regularly kept clean. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. I hope to get back there some day. Thanks again for a positive experience and special thanks to Steve.

Owner Response, 29 Août 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated our clean, comfortable rooms and breakfast variety. We'll be sure to share your special thanks with Steve—he will be so pleased to know he made such a positive impact on your visit. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future!

"Do not stay here unless you enjoy sleeping in a sauna."
Mandy S, 13 Juillet 2025

We stayed three miserable nights at Heartland Inn & Suites, and I can confidently say we'll never be back. Our room was unbearably hot, well over 80°F the entire time. Not just warm,oppressive, stifling heat that made it impossible to relax, let alone sleep. And management's solution? A couple fans. Not a different room. Not a refund. Not even a discount. Just a couple of box fans, as if that would make up for the fact that we were essentially camping indoors at full price. We paid premium rates expecting comfort and quality the basics you'd expect from the “nicest hotel” in the area. What we got was a sweatbox. Nowhere in the room description did it mention we'd need to retreat to our vehicle in the middle of the night just to cool down. That's not hospitality,that's failure. We paid for a service. The hotel failed to provide it. The lack of accountability or effort to make it right is unacceptable. Do better, Heartland Inn & Suites. You had every opportunity to turn this around, and you chose not to. Guests deserve better.

Owner Response, 13 Juillet 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're genuinely sorry your stay was so uncomfortable and disappointing. There's no excuse for a room that couldn't maintain a livable temperature, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to receive fans instead of a real solution. You're right—when guests pay for comfort, especially at premium rates, they should get it. We also regret that our response fell short and didn't reflect the level of hospitality we aim to provide. Your feedback makes it clear we missed an important opportunity to make things right, and for that, we sincerely apologize. Please know your concerns have been taken seriously. We're reviewing both the room's HVAC system and our service protocols to ensure this doesn't happen again. Guests do deserve better—and we're committed to doing better.

"Wonderful Hotel"
Virginia S, 10 Juillet 2025

Bed exceptionally comfortable. ADA room size was more than useable with my power wheel chair. Bathroom was great! A lovely center room. Pool and hot tub great. Breakfast is exceptional! We have traveled extensively and this hotel is the most amazing of any mid-range hotels! We love staying in this hotel!

Owner Response, 10 Juillet 2025

Thank you for the fantastic feedback! We're thrilled to hear that the ADA room worked so well with your power wheelchair and that you found the bed, bathroom, and amenities like the pool, hot tub, and breakfast exceptional. It means a lot to us—especially coming from seasoned travelers like you—that you consider us the best among mid-range hotels. We truly appreciate your kind words and love having you stay with us!

"Great Stay"
Christina B, 31 Mai 2025

Here for 1 night only. Easy checkin and out. Our room was clean & quiet. There is NO Elevator. Only 2 floors. Large central open area for breakfast and some first floor rooms open to this area. Breakfast was normal fare. Eggs, sausage, pre made waggles, pancakes and other items. No toast, but other bread type items. Seems to be newly remodeled.

Owner Response, 31 Mai 2025

Thank you so much for taking the time to give us a great review! I'm happy to see that you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see you again.

"Lives up to its name"
Kathryn F, 14 Avril 2025

Clean facility, great service, and one of the best free breakfasts I have had at a hotel. The central courtyard is beautiful, providing a place to gather in a larger space than your room. Our room had a very comfy recliner in it. You can feel all of the local touches and care.

Owner Response, 14 Avril 2025

Thank you so much for the glowing review! I'm happy to see you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see you in the future!

"Friendly staff"
345derekj, 23 Février 2025

Stayed here with a few other couples for wrestling sections in mid February. The hotel staff was super friendly and accommodating to our group and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The hotel had comfortable beds and a good hot breakfast.

"Nice clean hotel in a cute town."
MNJennyJ, 04 Février 2025

Very clean. Friendly staff. good breakfast buffet. Right in the heart of Park Rapids. Had never been to Park Rapids before, cute town and nice accommodations. When we were there, pool was under renovation (not a problem for me). Looks nice. You probably want to check with the hotel to make sure that project is done if it is important to you..

Owner Response, 04 Février 2025

"Clean and Comfortable. Very nice. Good quality."
Robert R, 17 Novembre 2024

Clean and comfortable rooms. Good value. Early morning breakfast with good coffee. Quiet and restful. I would not hesitate to stay at Heartland again. Keep up the good work. In addition, they made a nice dinner recommendation for us. We enjoyed the complete experience.
