My husband and I stopped on the way to Worthington Mn. The building was fresh and clean as was the room. There was an IMAX theater within walking distance,so we enjoyed a movie before retiring for the night. The breakfast was well stocked and the staff was very frendily and helpful. Overall a pleasant stay. We will make a point to return. « less

The front desk help was friendly, the pool area was underutilized so it was clean although you have to ask for towels at the front desk since there are none in the pool area. We did not get up early enough to enjoy the free breakfast not to mention the lobby was packed with other visitors who beat us to it. The room was clean, the bathroom was clean but don't expect much in the way of free bathroom items (just a very small bottle of 3-in-1 Pantene shampoo and two small squares of bar soap). There isn't much around if you forgot any toiletries. The weekend we stayed there seemed to be a lot of families so there were kids hanging out in the hallways and lots of loud noise. At night we heard some crying next door and some fighting. Be advised the walls are very thin! We left behind some clothing and a DVD so I called as soon as we got home. Naturally I called them about the items they said they would check with the head of housekeeping since nothing was in their "lost and found" but that wouldn't be till Wednesday after 10 AM. When I called on Thursday my items were never turned in- Guess housekeeping needed mine and my husband's bathing suits and my 2 year old's Toy Story 3 DVD. I decided to give this hotel a 3 out of 5 rating because it was clean, parking was plentiful, area attractions were close by and the price was affordable. « less
