What guests think

At AmeriVu Inn and Suites - Waconia, guests frequently note clean, generally quiet stays but also describe an aging property and a breakfast that often disappoints due to quality and restocking issues.

The pool, hot tub, and sauna receive mixed feedback, ranging from clean and enjoyable to cloudy water, lukewarm temperatures, out-of-order features, or limited access during lessons. Rooms are often spacious, though furnishings feel dated and comfort varies (with some worn mattresses and clumpy pillows), and a few report rattling HVAC, outdated TVs, or slow Wi‑Fi. Service is frequently described as friendly yet inconsistent, with unattended front desk periods, slow responses, and occasional check‑in, billing, or room‑assignment problems. Expect a basic stay with variable upkeep and a modest breakfast.

Mexican restaurant right next door. The location is safe, quiet and convenient to my activities in Waconia. The muffins were marginal and the scrambled eggs appeared to be a box mix and not very tasty. The hot tub and pool are nice and not crowded.

It’s a great hotel for the price. The pool was very cloudy but I’m not a pool maintenance guy so I can’t say much about that. Staff is great and the room was nice and clean. Clean hotel.

There was a bad odor in the room, none of the drinking fountains worked and the hot tub was just warm. The towels were super thin. For the price of the standard room which was high, I would expect a little more class.

Clean and quiet. The only unfortunate thing is they hosted swimming lessons when we were there and we could only use one half of the pool which was surprising and disappointing.

Pool was great. Room clean & comfortable. No bathroom amenities other than towels, so make sure you have your own shampoo, etc. breakfast was sub par. They were completely out of plates for the guests. Good thing we carry on a few & brought down for others to use.

Get room, tv out date no wifi so we couldn’t access our paid apps prime, aAngel studio and faith. My husband asked for our room to be freshen up after breakfast and we returned after 5pm . No dirty rowels taken away, replace towels or make bed. Pool area needs silver polish out rust, windows had pooled water and water fountain not working either. Sauna had nails popping up very hot and uncomfortable. Person i wanted brown has at breaking and the were white like rice.

My white bedspread had large stains on it - best case excuse, coffee stain that remained after laundering- worse case, it hadn’t been laundered. I took that cover with the bug that was between it and the top sheet, down to the manager.

The bathtub wasn’t draining. I asked for the bathroom to be cleaned; it wasn’t done. I used tweezers & removed lots of hair, paper & debris. The bedcover/blanket was very grossly stained. When we asked for towels, we didn’t get enough of them. They were stained, thin & small. The curtains didn’t close properly & let the sun in in the a.m. Breakfast was disappointing. Some staff were excellent, the young clerk that checked us in was very rude & unfriendly.

Absolutely disgusting. Tub didn’t drain at all. Standing in about a foot of your own dirty bath water and you get to hear it drain all night and see the leftover mess in the morning. Couch in the room was covered in stains. Sheets definitely weren’t washed - I could smell cologne on them. Breakfast bar ran out of food about 2 hours in. Hot tub was broken. Just awful service. Do not stay at this place. I felt gross the entire time I was there. They will not refund you if you want to cancel. We didn’t even stay the 2nd night it was that bad.

The service at the front desk was very good. The room was poor. The chair in the room was badly Stained. The sink was clogged and so was the tub. I went to the store and bought 2 bottles of Drano Max. I cleaned the sink and poured one bottle of Drano Max in the sink. Let it sit for couple of hours. I poured the 2nd bottle of Drano Max in the tub and let it sit for couple of hours. The sink drain plug was full of sludge, I cleaned it like New and flushed the sink with HOT water for about 20 minutes maybe longer. It was running like new, drain was Very clean and flowed like it was NEW. The tub was flowing better but I couldn't take the stopper out of the tub. Every time I took a shower I was standing in several inches of DIRTY WATER! I took pictures of the water after I got out of the tub each time It's NASTY standing in that much dirty water during the shower. My feet started itching. My stay was ok cause of the location. I was visiting my grand kids. I drove to Waconia MN from Maryland for my granddaughter's graduation. Unless this place gets its drains cleaned out and clean those nasty chairs. The front desk brought me a blanket to cover the chair before I sat in it.

When arriving it person up front was very nice but once it came to my room I thought everything was clean until I made the bed the next morning and found dried up puke on the side of the mattress protector. I informed the up front that I needed the bed remade and told them how disgusting it was. They told me that they could not redue the bed because the housekeeper wasn’t there so they moved me into another room that was a little cleaner but I had to downsize in hot tub in the room. If you plan on coming be aware of the cleanliness

Overall the room was clean but there is a faint odor of smoking lingering in the furniture & bedding. The filling in all 4 of the bed pillows was very clumped together, making them slight uncomfortable. The bed mattress is very worn out and uneven & it dipped heavily on the left side. The shower curtain was over 6" short of reaching the floor, causing an excessive amount of water to end up on the floor. The hose connection at the shower head leaked, so alot of the water ran down the hose.

I checked into the AmeriVu in Waconia, MN on Thursday May 9, 2024 to visit with my children and grandchildren for a few days. I reported a shelf in the cabinet that was broken. I was told it would be taken care of. NO one ever came to the room to handle it. I was there from Thursday, May 9 and checked out on Sunday May 12. I never once had my room cleaned, No Clean Towels, even the Trash piled up and Not Once checked or Cleaned! The bed was Never changed or made. For spending more than $430. This was POOR SERVICE. I mentioned all of this to the guy behind the desk when I checked out on Sunday, He told me that they have a policy that None of those things are done unless you ask. I asked him, if I stayed for more than a week nothing would get done? He said that is the policy for AmeriVU hotels! I was Very Unimpressed with the NO SERVICE and the man behind the desk. If anyone wants to have a Great time in a hotel in Waconia, Minnesota pick another one. You might have a Much Better time and Service.

Got there to check in and nobody’s at the front desk when somebody comes in charged extra for a kid when 2 are supposed to stay for free according to their website. Beds were not comfortable at all and when checking out called for somebody to get a receipt and nobody came when the phone rang another employee had to get them to come up. Overall I’d never stay there again just for the being charged extra for one of my kids who didn’t even stay at the hotel. Breakfast was cold and not very good over all just the being charged extra for a kid who didn’t even stay at the hotel is enough for me to stay somewhere else next time

We felt the breakfast has gone a bit downhill in the past few years as the hotel has aged. There are less choices, eggs, sausage, waffles, limited pastries or toast, yogurt. There was no attendent in the breakfast area or at the front desk unless you asked/rang bell. It's okay place to stay, just realize it's an aging facility. Beds were comfortable.

This hotel is pretty worn down. The beds were uncomfortable, the bathrooms were grimy, the towels were ancient. They seemed understaffed as there was never anyone at the front desk. The breakfast was extremely disappointing. There was absolutely no fruit and only skim milk. After one morning we opted to skip. The room was decently clean despite its age.
