Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Owatonna, Owatonna

Water park was great fun! I had 4, 11 & 14 year old boys and it was good for all. Noisy for Grandma but really fun for kids! Free dinner for kids under 12 was really nice too

We loved the Serengeti slides and pools the only disapointment was that the lazy river either wasn't working or it wasn't really a lazy river because you were forced to swim to get around it otherwise you just sat in one spot. Lol the kids loved the basketball pool court and the giant animals in the tyke park and zero depth play area and I thought the hot tub was amazing! Relaxed in mn we also loved that cabellas was literally right next door along with many places to eat and onsite restaurant for breakfast. And let me warn you now Russell stovers candy store and caribou right next door😳😬

Check-in was great and our time in the water park was excellent and everything probably would have been great if a little one hadn’t got sick all over a bed at 2:30am. That started a fairly unpleasant experience. I went to the desk to get new blankets, there was no one there for ~20 min. They finally return, but have no blankets left as 4 other rooms have had sick kids as well. So there’s 4 extra blankets for a hotel of how many rooms? Got new sheets at least and went back to clean up, was rinsing the mess in the tub and it would not drain. Thought my kid’s mess had clogged it so tried clearing it. Nope, full of hair and I don’t even want to know what else. Cleaned up what I could with TP and got everyone back to bed but didn’t really sleep the rest of the night as no blanket, and no shower in the am as the tub was full of crud. The morning staff did address the issues and we would probably stay again and hope for a better turnout.

We are at the restaurant 43rd st bar and grill which is attached to holiday inn. The food was just okay. Not worth the money.

Hotel itself was good. Clean, that's comfortable, service wonderful. However the water park pool area attached to the hotel needs a serious cleaning. The whirlpool Jets as is my understanding have not worked for months. The hot tub on Friday Night Never warmed up. The Lifeguard on Saturday morning was able to get the boiler going and it took probably about an hour and a half for the hot tub to warm up. There was a vent near the restroom area and Lazy River entrance that had honest to God about a half inch of dust on it. Other areas in the water park needed a serious good cleaning.
