The check in woman was very unfriendly. She didn't smile or thank us.
There are two towers of rooms on each side of the parking lot and the towers are connected by a horseshoe shape of motel rooms. We had one of the motel rooms. It was a corner room. The room was very large. The beds were comfortable. The fridge was very cold. There was not a coffee maker in our room. There was a hole in the wall where the smoke detector should have been. I stuffed a towel in it to keep out drafts or critters. The heater was cranked to 90 and I would be suprised if it got over 67 in the room. That should be repaired. The room was very clean and our maid did an excellent job
The pool is a joke. I've seen plastic pools in a backyard that were bigger. It says max capacity 12. If you could fit 12 people in it I would be suprised. The hot tub was empty with yellow caution tape around it. I was pretty disapointed with that.
The continental breakfast is not a continental breakfast. It's a couple of donuts out of the vending machine and cofee. Don't count on using this for breakfast.
I would stay there again, but not with kids. The pool was too small.
well worth the money

i stayed at this motel over valentine's day weekend, i had used one of these on-line travel deals, and booked a one bed hotel room, don't know what happened but they gave me a double bed, i asked for a non-smoking room but it smelled like an ashtray, nothing that i couldn't fix by opening the window for a while. the room was very clean, everything was really good about the room, i didn't expect a refridgerator and microwave but it sure did come with one :D the only complaints i really have are about the lack of iron and ironing board, lack of list of television channels, and that it was freezing cold outside, but that is not the motels fault :D over all i would definatly stay there again, it was really convinient to everything

We were a bit concerned after seeing the mixed reviews but couldn't resist the bargain rate we were offered. Our rooms were the biggest we've ever seen in a budget hotel - each had a table and 2 chairs, desk, dresser, and coffee table in addition to the two comfortable beds. One even offered a kitchen. Both had fridges and microwaves as well. Everything was very clean and each room came with plenty of towels (we had 4 people in each room). The staff was quite helpful and friendly.
The "closets" lacked closet rods or any place to hang clothes. The bathrooms were quite small - my 6-7 husband was unable to stand up fully in the shower. The internet never connected on any of the 3 laptops we had with us (we had 2 end rooms). Most concerning of all was the outside door which did not consistently lock.
Our rooms were in the adjacent building, not the ones with outside entrances which appear quite a bit smaller.
The main building offered a computer with internet access and limited free printing. The breakfast was typical continental, danish, coffee, and juice.
We were at this location primarily for sightseeing and meeting with family, so we never checked out the pool. The large rooms made it very amenable to visiting and hanging out in the rooms.
We would stay here again in a heartbeat, just so long as the internet wasn't a necessity.

This is, by FAR the WORST "hotel" we've ever stayed in. It was filthy, smelly, old and had TINY bathrooms. Our bathroom was so small the door only opened 1/2 way before it hit the filthy tub.
The higher ratings from previous "guests" MUST have been left by employees. Spend a few extra dollars for a different hotel and STAY AWAY from this one!
Okay, for the price.

The location was great, literally minutes away from mall of America. 20-30 minutes away from many other attractions such as the zoo, chutes and ladders, Grand Rios water park ect. The bed was very uncomfortable, our shower, TV, TV remote, one of the side lamps, bathroom ceiling fan and sink faucet didn't work. I ended up getting charged twice for the room, once from Travel agency, and once form the front desk clerk at check in, which still hasn't been refunded properly. It was extremely loud from overhead planes and cars from the highway.For the price all was expected, it was cheap and it was dingy. I would rather spend more money and stay somewhere more comfortable and quiet. Not to rant, but Travel agency was 40.00 more for our 2-night stay than it would have cost us just to book through another travel agency...Now I know 40.00 isn't a lot of money, but that could of been a much needed tank of gas.
