Everything good except the coffee in the room. It was terrible. Not drinkable.

"Great place to stay."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
I had never been there before and was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was for the price. I'd stay there again the next time I'm in Mankato. Very friendly staff.

Overall Score2.0/ 5
We were greeted by four employees in front smoking! Yuck! We were not told there was no soap, shampoo, or lotion. Apparently there was a note on the counter, but it was never mentioned. No soap?? It's a pandemic! Go to war mart buy bars of soap for the rooms. The phone was in the room but no cord! The woman at the front desk was giving us suggestions when we asked for a restaurant for brunch but she couldn't make eye contact. Never looked up from the desk. There is much room for improvement!
Todd S. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from

Overall Score2.0/ 5
It was a place to sleep but not as I expected. It could use some updates such as new sheets, new mattresses and overall upgrades to the hotel.
Stephanie R. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
02-Aug-2021 Verified Review, stayed from Thu Jul 29 to Sat Jul 31 2021 at a $85.99 average nightly rate. "Dirty, old, outdated, dirty laundry doors open,."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
The hotel, being in the city center, is an old, outdated hotel. The staff was very accommodating the only reason for a 3/5 rather than 2/5. The staff was friendly, even found a room so my husband could work out of, because The hotel doesn't have a dedicated business center. The dirty laundry room doors are open, no one wants to see the dirty laundry, no one! Disgusting mop buckets on the elevators. I wouldn't want to clean my floor with mop buckets where the scum on the bucket looks older than me. The showers have black mold on them, we even had a ring in our toilet… was the room clean? A question many from our large group had.
Jeanetta G. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
02-Aug-2021 Verified Review, stayed from Thu Jul 29 to Sat Jul 31 2021 at a $94.99 average nightly rate. "Clean, fair. Needs updates."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Super kind staff and the rooms are very clean! They need some major updates and it wasn't in the safest area of town but it is a very central location to all bars and restaurants. It's not a bad place to crash over night but I don't think I'd recommend an extended stay!
Maegan H. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from

we stayed two hours and left for another hotel for the night. it WAS AWFUL. thought since it was downtown it would be something special. should close and become a youth center or something awful awful.

Overall Score2.0/ 5
Horrible lighting. It was dark, dank and the room was dusty. It was also deserted. Noone at front desk. we just stayed about two hours and decided it was NOT a place we ever wanted to stay. Found a hotel much BRIGHTER, BIGGER AND (GASP) NOT DUSTY!! NEVER RECCOMEND THIS PLACE AGAIN. COVID OR NO COVID.

Overall Score2.0/ 5
When making the reservation we requested adjoining rooms. We're celebrating my sons 9th birthday so a special occasion. I called the morning before check in to verify the reservation but also ask about the adjoining rooms. Gal said, no problem, I just took care if it so you're all set. Great, I thought! Upon arrival, no adjoining rooms available. No suites to upgrade to. And of corse no refund. :( we've been trying to get a rollaway bed all evening and still don't have it. (It's 8:30 pm). No extra blankets either. Super disappointed. Bummer for my sons bday. Waste of money on the 2nd room that we didn't even get keys for. Frustrated, upset, but mostly disappointed that my sons bday celebration hasn't gone as planned.

Overall Score3.0/ 5
Other than the fact that there is a strip club right outside the hotel and people where smoking pot in the room above us and the complimentary breakfast that was supposed to be open at 7 a.m, wasn't which meant that we couldn't eat it because we had to be at our volleyball tournament by 7:30.. Well. Not the best experience! The only thing good about that stay, was the company we were there with.
Dana E. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
27-Jan-2020 Verified Review, stayed from Fri Jan 24 to Sat Jan 25 2020 at a $95.93 average nightly rate. "One of the worst hotel experiences ever."
Overall Score1.0/ 5
We were told check in was at 3. after waiting in line twice beginning at 3:30pm for 45 minutes, we were finally given a room. It was obvious the hotel was not staffed properly. It appeared our beds were just made, sheets were not actually changed. The toilet was not cleaned. The rooms are old and outdated. The continental breakfast was empty and was not re filled. This hotel needs a new business plan!
Amy O. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
03-Nov-2019 Verified Review, stayed from Sat Nov 02 to Sun Nov 03 2019 at a $103.97 average nightly rate. "Clean, but average experience."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Great location, but short staffed for a busy holiday weekend. We had no maid service and had to go get our own towels for the next day from the laundry room (per the front desk worker's directions). Pool was down for maintenance and we couldn't get Saturday breakfast at 6:30 am because they don't serve until 7 am on weekends. The employees were all very friendly, though and our room was nice.
Jeri W. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
06-Jul-2019 Verified Review, stayed from Thu Jul 04 to Sat Jul 06 2019 at a $79.08 average nightly rate. "Excellent breakfast, average rooms and poor customer service."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
The hotel will not let you check in any earlier than 3:00 p.m. We booked two rooms for two nights. We checked in at the front desk, walked to our rooms and both of them had not been cleaned. We went back downstairs to complain and a different person said we should talk to the person the checked us in so we needed to wait until she was available! Got two new rooms and they had been cleaned but not the greatest. Breakfast was the highlight of the stay. .it was really good!

Overall Score3.0/ 5
Very nice and helpful staff but rooms need to be updated and our TV remote only worked if I was really close to the tv, so I had to stand up to change the channel all the time. Now I grew up in the 60's and 70's so it did bring back memories but I'm not that young anymore. ??.
