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. More

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. More

Place was excellent. Service was very good and room was large, CLEAN, and comfortable. Breakfast offerings were fairy normal, but the sausage gravy and biscuits were downright great. WiFi access was quick and painless. Special note for those traveling by motorcycle ; ample parking right up front. Very visible so you don't have to wonder about the bike being parked... More

I never stay at a hotel without checking the Trip Advisor on my Droid. There was only 1 recent review since the property has recently undergone a change from Holiday Inn Express to Best Western. It certainly has been for the best according to the mediocre reviews of the past. We nearly stayed at the Comfort Inn due to these... More

After a string of lame-o highway hotels, I had no expectations of this used-to-be Holiday Inn Express. However, I was pleasantly surprised at the updated rooms and very comfortable bed. I believe all the rooms were updated very recently with the name change. We were not bothered at all by highway noise. I slept great and was ready for another... More
