Shell Lake Vacation Packages

Everything was great but I didn't get to use the water park area, because they close early on Sunday and aren't open on Mondays ("Back to school hours"). Not upset about it, just a bit disappointed. I wish I had checked before I went to dinner and people watching. I guess I'll have to go back to try the waterpark!

The hotel is older with some newer updates. My room had a broken window, and smelled a bit musty, but could be due to weather...very wet and rainy. The room was very clean and worked fine for the one night stay. Beds were comfortable, and staff was courteous and responsive.

Wonderful breakfast!

The Emery Autograph hotel is a beautiful and artistic property with a great vibe, and everyone that I met on staff is consistently welcoming, respectful and professional! There were little things like some water damage on the wall by the shower that was in need of repair, and in my particular room, the WiFi was never working properly (even after the hotel tech came up and did some trouble shooting) so I had to either use my phone as a hotspot or head downstairs to the cafe for unfettered Wifi (I had a zoom board meeting on Monday morning that I needed a strong signal, and the cafe worked fine for that). The food in both their Spyhouse Coffee cafe and their Giulia Italian restaurant were delicious as well! I highly recommend staying there or at least grabbing dinner, and I am looking forward to returning the next time I'm in Minneapolis!
