This is an OK place. Clean with a good breakfast but nothing special. The pool and exercise room are very small. Beds were good. I’d stay here again if I was passing through.

Stayed here twice now and everyone I have meet who works here has been friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and nice, however, my only complaint was the king bed in my room the second time I stayed here was probably needing to be replaced, but I still slept good.

My husband and I stopped here on our way across the country for the holidays. They allowed pets in a limited number of rooms for $20 extra -- nice that they had a few rooms for pets and left the others pet-free for other customers. Beds were nice and rooms well appointed for under a hundred bucks: clean newer linens,... More

You've been driving for hours down I-90, it's getting late, the sun's going down and then you see lights in the distance. Just off the road, conveniently close to the exit for Albert Lea, stands the Best Western. It was surprisingly quiet, had a spotless pool. The room was quite spacious and had a computer table with outlets on top... More

The facilities were clean and attractive. The wifi was complimentary and excellent. Three WiFi throughput tests ranged from 7.4 to 8.6 MB/sec. Breakfast was complimentary and typical for the hotel class. Most impressive was the service. Interactions with all staff were great. When I came to breakfast well after it ended and examined the limited items left out, the receptionist... More

Stayed over on trip out west. At first impressions wasn't sure about the person checking us in with spiked hair - but he was extremely friendly and helpful. Made a great customer service impression and we appreciated that. Room was clean and would stay again.

We stayed here on July 7, 2011. This motel was very similar to the Best Western we stayed at the night before. Friendly and helpful staff, clean and well kept building and facilities. Convenient location right off of I 90 with McDonald's and Applebee's right there. Breakfast was top-notch.
