Top Arbor Lake Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham Newton

10/10 Excellent

"Guy at front desk was very nice, little expensive for what it was but it was decent"

Links Bos Landen Hotel & Spa of Pella, Trademark by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, staff friendly, a warm breakfast. The third night we were there, the hotel was full and the showers that night were lukewarm to cool. Also, I thought we reserved a room with queen beds, but they were full beds. Overall a good experience and since we came after Tulip Time the price was right."

Best Western Holiday Manor

8/10 Good

"It's a dated Best Western property (circa late 90's) and it looks the part. However I did enjoy my stay despite the lack of modernism. The hotel definitely shows its age from the lobby to the rooms. The room was adequately clean despite the mold in the washrooms. With some TLC and some attention to detail this could be a nice budget property. 4/5"
