Accommodation in Brainerd

Brainerd is a wonderful place to explore, with a reasonable selection of available hotels. There are 5 located less than 5 kilometres from the middle of the city.

Book a place near all the action at the Rodeway Inn Baxter and Days Inn & Suites Baxter Brainerd Area.

A well known neighbourhood to spend a few nights in is Baxter, which is situated 7 kilometres from the town center. You can find 8 available hotels here, all you have to do is choose one! Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Brainerd-Baxter and Arrowwood Lodge At Brainerd Lakes are examples of accommodation in the area, that are worth inspecting.

On a nice day, there's nothing finer than flipping through a newspaper in Buffalo Hills Park. Plan your trip well in advance, because the only place available in the vicinity of this spot is Rodeway Inn.

Not everyone is loaded. The Brainerd area has a good range of cheaper places to stay. Two of the best options are the Country Inn & Suites By Carlson Baxter and the Super 8 Baxter Brainerd Area. Alternative affordable accommodation options include the Americas Best Value Inn and the Rodeway Inn Pine River.

For more options, look at the Cragun's Resort & Hotel and the Magnuson Hotel Nisswa. They are 14 kilometres and 18 kilometres respectively from the main center. If those two don't meet your needs, try the Maddens On Gull Lake or the Causeway On Gull.
