Need laundry room, need better breakfast options

Clean room, up to date

Stayed in August 2025

My only concern was that the bathroom didn’t have grab bars in the shower area and the tub was a little slippery. But I raised this with the desk and they said they were working on fixing it for all of the rooms.

The location is very good close to the cute little town of Walker and lots of beautiful recreation. Parts of it were a little worn, but other parts had been renovated. Our room was very comfortable and clean. The staff was exceedingly nice and friendly.

This was sold as breakfast included but that was just an unadvertised grab and go which is only available during weekdays. Had to pay for the buffet.

Location was very convenient. Great staff and great indoor pool.

I know the hotel is older, so some things are 'complicated'. The bathtub had a very high edge that I needed to get over to get in and out of the bathtub. I am older and my height is on the short side. There was not any grab-bar(s) for me to feel secure when getting in and out of tub. The bottom of tub was also slippery when wet. I was worried about getting out safely. One of those rubber mats would have been helpful. Also in bathroom, the overhead exhaust vent was very dusty, like it had not been attended to in a very long time.

Breakfast: I did not have breakfast, but my partner did and he liked it. Hotel: We both appreciated the history of the hotel. I like older hotels with a history, it interests me. Front desk staff: Although we did not get the young man's name, he was delightful! We had a lovely conversation about cats! That was the reason why we came to be in Walker - to adopt a kitty! Restaurant: We had a yummy meal at the restaurant! Stellar view! We were seated by the window. Our server was awesome! The only issue was the space could have been warmer. For me it bordered on cold to when we left I was freezing. Overall I would say that I wish we could have stayed longer; so we could have enjoyed more of the hotel and your lovely town and spectacular lake.

Nothing.

Location. One block from downtown shops and on the lake

The price was a little more than what I expected for the room.

The restaraunt made very tasty and reasonably priced items. The view from the patio of the lake and docks were fun. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful in our visit planning. The recommendation of a Walker loop route to bike was a fantastic help. No traffic noise because it is off the main street and no late or fast traffic.

My wife and I are seniors and move slowly......It was an extremely long walk for us to get to our Lakeview Room......

Location was wonderful

Breakfast food should have been hot and replenished in a more timely manner. The fruit should have been prepared so that utensils could be used to access it, not everyone's bare hands. The 502 restaurant for dinner was good, but served cold and took over an hour and a half to get. It was not busy at the time we visited. We had to ask the floor manager to find our server to get the bill so we could leave. I saw other seated diners recommend incoming guests leave and not waste their time! They too must have had a similar experience that we had just had.

The breakfast food was cold and not replenished when we arrived at 8am. Ham and sausage were lk cardboard-dry, cold, inedible. A pile of grapes on the table you had to pick off the vine yourself along with all the other diners-gross. Just not managed well at all. The coffee was very good.

Buffet breakfast was weak. No sweet rolls and not stocked well. Parking at night was terrible.

The mattress was really firm, pillows were not supportive enough, for my preference. Shrimp skewer added to my steak was mildly warm cocktail shrimp, not grilled.

Room temp control worked wonderful. Live music was amazing both nights! Love the strawberry bourbon smash Signature cocktail.

Swedish meatball dinner needed just a little bit more flavor.

Always a good stay :) Staff is always friendly and the rooms are always clean.

No daily maid service. Had to request a cleaning during our 9 day stay.

Beautiful historic hotel on the most gorgeous lake and great shopping and dining in this amazing town. Try the Swedish meatballs at the Chase.

Beautiful view of Leech Lake from our room

Parking was really terrible. There didn’t seem to be lines so almost every car had a space and a half in between leaving no spots. Almost all of the adjacent streets were no parking during the night so we had to park a significant distance from the building. We were comfortable with the temperature in the room but the vent was blowing was directly on our heads while we slept which was not pleasant.

Bed was harder than I liked. Shower dripped all night.

Beautiful balcony view. Close to everything. Huge room.

Having stayed there several times, it is now under new ownership who are (somewhat understandably) getting back to basics in terms of perks and amenities, before figuring out what a more defined experience will be for guests. (This is how it was explained to me in a casual conversation with one of the managers). It feels maybe a little too stripped back. No live entertainment in the bar, a padlock on the sauna, the gym is kind of dirty and starting to feel out of date, mismatched cushions on the couch in my two bedroom suite, not enough or the right utensils in the kitchen. Specifically no spatula.

The Chase is a beautiful hotel on an amazing lake in a great town.

It seemed like the place could use a lot of upkeep. Our shower and dishwasher were broken (the shower was usable), and the hot tub had multiple broken jets. The pool area was dirty and the pool was freezing.

Beautiful location. Comfortable bed. The kids loved the game room.

While we were there(3days), there restaurant was not open for breakfast or lunch which is weird and inconvenient for a resort. Also the patio bar did not open until 4:00 pm and closed at 7:00pm everyday which is also weird considering they have a beautiful patio and it would have been awesome to enjoy throughout the whole day and into the evening. We had to go to other places for food and drinks quite a bit. Also no private parking for guests. There was a very nice and large parking lot right in front of the hotel but it belongs to the city so the general public could park there. We took our vehicle out everyday for activities and it was a fight to find a spot when we returned.

We loved the style of the resort, the location and that it had its own large patio facing the water with a private beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well which is always the most important part when your on vacay.

The entire building is very hard to maneuver around in. If there was an emergency such as a fire it could be come very dangerous. The halls and actual exits are extremely confusing. Even some of the staff and several other guests agreed with me on this point.

It was clean and quiet.

I can't think of anything I did not like about this location.

The location on the lake was nice and beautiful.
