We enjoyed our stay, the hotel is near a train station so you do hear trains at times. Also, the hallway smelled like marijuana, not surprised as it’s legal in MN.

Never again

Place smelled terrible, room smelled of cigarettes. Halls were dirty.
Peter, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Rude and crude place.

The check in guy was ice cold and when I told him that we have a service dog he said “it doesn’t matter because we charge either way.” On top of that the rooms were stained and dirty. If you’re looking for cheap you’ve definitely found it.
Peter, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Older hotel but wow! Updated, clean and great value! New door locks, new a/c, carpet replaced with solid surface floors, new drapes all contribute to not having the smells of older, stale smoke filled hotels. At prices per room, probably best value in the area. Very impressed and satisfied.
Steve, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fast check-in. Updated room. Comfortable bed. Reasonably priced. No frills. Great for our 1 nite stay.
Douglas, 1-night trip

Visit July 28 & 29, 2025

The room itself was clean, but everything else was disgusting. The hallways were nasty. I'm not sure I would stay here again. Also, I found it very odd that they made a copy of my driver's license when I arrived. I have traveled a lot and never had anyone make a copy of my license, which makes me feel a little weird.
