Location is beautiful, lodging is adequate, but the resort service is awful. After signing the contract with GSL it was one disappointment after the next: Completely incompetent ma...nagement, constant staff turnover, reception desk staff that were always "in training" - putting wedding guests on hold for extended periods of time, or hanging up on them when trying to make reservations.
I had multiple phone conversations with the general manager prior to our wedding, but still he failed to deliver on what we discussed. His staff refused to bring out a second keg (which we ordered) to the patio during our cocktail hour, entree orders were wrong, entrees served were bland, cold and rock hard- so much so that guests complained to us! The open bar tab was displayed to guests on the cash register (unbelievably tacky, but didn't phase the staff at GSL). My expectations were low for a Northern MN lodge, but this place couldn't even serve warm food, the food that we actually ordered, or the booze we ordered. Oh and guests also complained when they tried to order food and drinks from the lodge restaurant/bar - rude staff, orders were wrong and over-priced.
Brides, seriously don't waste your time at GSL or any of the Odyssey Resorts. Find a beautiful location along the North Shore, get married there, and then cater from a local vendor.
