We had a very enjoyable time in Mankato. I decided to try the Super 8, because I thought that the previous review was a bit MUCH!. Well, I was right. The hotel was certainly adequate. All three rooms we had were clean and nicely supplied. Two of the rooms had recliners in them and all three had very nice flat panel televisions. The rooms had refrigerators and microwaves that were very handy.
The staff was very accomodating, and even let us have quiet soak in the hot tub, even though we got in after hours. And to make up for all those calories I'd taken in on Sat night, the exercise equipment was available to keep me in line.
To give the bed bugs a fair shake, I lifted up the mattress (nicely padded, by the way) and checked, and there were NO bugs. I do have to admit that this was the first time I ever did that.
The breakfast was very basic, but for the inexpensive rates we were given, I didn't feel unfairly treated. I had checked rates at almost every motel in the city, and the Super 8 rates were easily in the most affordable category.

I came to Mankato to see my family and to take my daughter back to college. I decided to stay at the Super 8 because it was close to the road and pretty cheap. What I found in my room made me nauseous! BED BUGS UNDER THE MATTRESSES! I didn't even both notifying the front desk because they were rude to begin with so I just left and stayed at a different place. I didn't even want another room because they are all probably infested and if any of these things happened to get into my clothes my home could've been infested as well. I will never stay here again and fair warning for anyone else who decides to stay!
