"Excellent value motel in Albert Lea."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Th Best Western Plus in Albert Lea was very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. One of the queen beds in our room had a soft mattress and was a bit lop sided. The breakfast was good but the breakfast room is small and crowded. It was good for the price and I would recommend it to friends.
