Top Templar State Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Super 8 by Wyndham Spirit Lake/Okoboji

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was out of stock of all eggs and sausage 2 days we were there. Super long wait to find staff because the sign is always up at the front desk saying they are away doesn't seem to be someone who sits at the desk they seem to be busy doing other chores - I don't think the staff was Lazy just being multi tasked too much. When they did finally get to the desk they were very helpful."

Lake Okoboji Resort & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"Very nice property, some evidence of wear on chairs and in bathroom"

3-bedroom house in serene Spirit Lake with AC comfort

10/10 Excellent

"We booked this house last minute as a rebook for another booking in the same neighborhood. The location was great. Close to everything and the little downtown area in Spirit Lake was very cute. The house was clean and they accommodated early check in for us. We had an issue with one of the bed frames, but I was able to temporarily fix it and communicate the issue with the host so I won’t hold that against them. Overall a very nice home in a quiet neighborhood. One comment: the air fresheners were a bit overpowering for me. I ended up unplugging them during our stay and it was fine. I’m a bit sensitive to fragrances. My other housemate thought they were fine."
