"I had a great stay at the AmeriVu Inn and Suites in Chisago City. The room was clean, fresh-smelling, and the bed was very comfortable. The front desk staff handled check-in professionally — I really appreciated that they didn’t take my credit card to the back room, which was a big improvement from my last experience elsewhere. The atmosphere was friendly, and the parking area was well-lit and felt safe. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. Chisago City is a beautiful...

10/10 Excellent

"clean spacious room good parking and the pool is set up perfect to the tv"

AmericInn by Wyndham Chanhassen

6/10 Okay

"There were some minor room issues. There were popcorn kernels and a white pill under the nightstand. The bath mat was threadbare and see through in some spots. The door didn’t sit right in the frame so you could into the hallway at the bottom of the door. We didn’t notice it until we shut off the lights to go to bed. We didn’t say anything because it was so late and we didn’t want to move to a different room so late in the evening. "
