Lake Okoboji Resort and Conference Center

What guests think

Reviews of Lake Okoboji Resort and Conference Center describe an older, budget-friendly property with friendly staff, convenient golf-course location, and basic amenities, but with recurring maintenance issues, dated decor, inconsistent cleanliness, and pool and hot tub outages.

Room experiences vary: some are spacious or comfortable with patios and golf-course views, while others note worn furnishings, small TVs, and problems with heating, AC, or hot water. Service consistency is mixed, with uneven follow-up, housekeeping lapses, and occasional check-in delays despite some helpful problem-solving at the desk. Breakfast is often lukewarm or average, while the on-site bar and restaurant, especially the pizza, earn more positive feedback. Expect a simple stay with variable room quality and amenities.

Facilities

Indoor and outdoor pools are available, but many reviews cite closures, cold or dirty water, and the hot tub frequently out of order. The on-site bar/restaurant is a plus; some fitness and ice machines were down, and access is hindered by stairs or no elevator.

Was looking forward to the pool as we went with our children. Was not kept up at all and was dirty. Kids wouldn’t even get in. Hot tub was out of service. Hotel needs a major remodel.

Room was terribly dark and furniture was worn and torn. Heaters did not work. Toilet was loose and made terrible noise when used. No ice machine in the whole facility that worked. Hot tub was drained without prior warning it was unusable. Bedding and towels had a weird musty smell. Thank god we had fabric spray along. We loved the hotel when it was Arrowwood Resort, but hadn’t been back in a couple years. Didn’t realize it was sold and under new management. Would not recommend anyone to stay there.

This is not the most updated hotel but for the price they recognize that and price accordingly. The amenities checked all the boxes. Got a king with pull out which made extra space during the day. Had a slide out (golf course side—so worth it.) with dogs having a slide out made it so easy! Kids walked the dogs around the course in the evening. Outdoor pool right outside our slider. . Indoor pool checkd the boxes. Hot food at breakfast included. If you golf that is there too! Bar has amazing pizza and makes nice to unwind after a long day on lake. Again not updated but nice and kind staff. And had all the amenities that helped make our trips (have stayed there twice) good. The first time I didn’t know better and booked a slider door but it was on parking lot side. It was totally fine but now that I have done gold cart side, I really appreciate it more

We stayed in and loved the suite. Family stayed just above us. Staff was very helpful. Breakfast had fruit and waffles- so something for everyone. Outdoor pool was what we preferred and it was clean with plenty of seating area around it. Outdoor patio had tables with fire pit. Propane at tables happened to be empty, so waitress in restaurant found some alternative way for us to grill marshmallows. She was a rock star!! Kids loved arcade area- though my pocket book could have done without. Great location. Easy to find and close to all activities.

I was promised a hotel with an outdoor pool and hot tub. Neither the outdoor pool nor the hot tub were open. One of the treadmills in the fitness center didn't work. We were disappointed that the hotel wasn't what was advertised. I could tell the place used to be very nice.....

I'll start out with the good. Front desk staff was nice. Check in and out easy. The restaurant on site has FANTASTIC pizza. Outdoor pool was closed, as was the hot tub. I personally would never use a public hot tub, but the fact that the pool was not in order during 95+ degree weather was VERY disappointing. Another guest expressed the same thing. She only booked the trip as a girls weekend to use the pool. So that is a big miss. This place could definitely use a refresh. The carpet throughout is worn, dark and ugly.... and the lighting everywhere is dim and depressing. The toilet in our room rocked back and forth which was annoying, and one of the two beds in our room was ridiculous.... was like a big bowl that sucked you in the middle. Two adults could NOT sleep in that bed comfortably. The other bed was fine. Having a fridge in the room was nice. Overall, we only stayed 2 nights, but would not choose this hotel if/when we come back to Okoboji

The room desperately needs cleaned better. We dropped a phone and had to go under the bed and it was FILTHY there was pretzels, a plastic bag, earrings and just dirt and dust. Unacceptable. The rest of the property was fine and the front desk help was wonderful. I didn't complain to them as we were only there one night and were just ready to leave after getting cleaned up in the morning rather than stop and deal wirh that.

My bathroom was filthy. When I went in to go to the bathroom & closed the door, the grime, fingerprints, and hair on the back of the door was gross. I had a king room facing the golf course. There's a decent patio but no chairs to sit on. I was able to get early check-in though and that was fantastic. The man at the front desk helping me was stellar! The bar staff in the hotel was extremely nice as well!

This hotel was okay. We won’t be staying here again, and I was pretty disappointed right after check-in. The good: the staff were super friendly and helpful. We didn’t have hot water at first, but they fixed it quickly. That said, the cleanliness was hit or miss. For every clean thing, there was something else that felt overlooked. The towels and sheets were clean but stained. The carpet looked vacuumed, but there was hair on the bedspread. Some switches and handles were spotless, others were sticky or dirty. The wallpaper definitely needed scrubbing, and the whole room felt like it needed a better once-over. Honestly, it seemed like the cleaning crew needed a manager to go back in and check the details. The room was dated but could’ve been fine if it had just felt cleaner. Also… it’s summer. Please leave the AC on before guests arrive. The musty, closed-up smell when we walked in wasn’t great.

I paid a significant amount of money expecting a quality stay, but the rooms were extremely outdated, junky, and nonfunctional. The refrigerator did not cool and was leaking water, the bathtub never got beyond lukewarm, the door locks were unreliable, and there were bugs in the room. I spoke with hotel staff during my stay, and while maintenance was eventually sent for the water issue, all other concerns were brushed off. We had specifically requested adjoining rooms so we could be next to our teenage children. Instead, we were given two rooms next to each other. When I complained, the only “solution” offered was to move us—something we couldn’t do because being near our children was non-negotiable. That was the extent of their so-called customer service. I followed up with management after my stay, even sending photos and videos of the issues. I received no response at all. I then involved Expedia, who contacted the hotel on my behalf, and still the hotel refused any type of reimbursement or even partial compensation. The photos online glorify this property, but in reality it is extremely outdated, rundown, and does not live up to the word “resort.” It feels more like a low-end roadside motel with zero accountability for guest experience. For the price paid, the condition of the rooms, and the lack of professionalism from both staff and management, this was an enormous disappointment. I will never return and would not recommend this property to anyone.

At 6 we were told it was ready but it wasn’t, so we had to wait another hour, we were dirty, tired and frustrated. When we said something we were told that everyone else was understanding about it

Employees working were very nice. Rooms were musty smelling and warm, they did not have the room we paid for available but they worked to get us what would work for our family. However, we did not receive any compensation for the lower value room we had to be switched to. They said this was something that was on Expedia not them so nothing I could do there. They have breakfast however everything is just microwaved in a closet. The pools were nice for the kids! However the property definitely needs updating. The sliding doors did not slide and the blankets all had stains on them. I would not return here but it did the job this time.

It looks like some aspects of the property have been updated. Overall the room was clean, although there was a slight scent of smoke. The room we had was on the 1st floor and had a patio, so it's possible somebody smoked outside and some of that came into the room. But otherwise it was a good room for the price. We had issues with our TV, but the front desk guy was quick to come down and help resolve the problem. It's a good base camp if you aren't needing anything fancy and/or right on the water.

Pros- It is a convienent place to stay if you are going to go golfing and just need a place to sleep. And the waffles. The restaurant is good food but dont be in a hurry if going there. Check in was easy and didnt take long. There was plenty of parking for everyone. Cons-The ac unit cover kept falling off, there were fruit flies and other little flies all over the towels and all over and in the shower. The breakfast- the biscuits were mush, the sausage were gray, but if your hungry its food.
