We are staying here now and I have been checking my door over and over to make sure it was closed since the amount of noise you can hear from the hallway AND outside is ridiculous! If you want a nice relaxing vacation, this hotel is not for you. The location is convenient and overall nice amenities, though the feel of being at a campus party all night ruins anything positive about the place.

On a trip that was to acquire my service dog, I had the opportunity to dine at the Holiday Inn Ice House restaurant in Detroit Lakes MN.
Usually I have little to no luck with restaurants attached to hotels. The food is either overrated or the staff is anything but hospitable . This was not the case today. Our interaction with the staff was timely and pleasant and our waitress Lisa was the icing on the cake. She was punctual, friendly, attentive and made us feel as if we were friends from out of town.
I would recommend stopping in when in the area. And when you do, ask for Lisa
