River Hills Hotel- Mankato

Simple breakfast fare: waffles were a hit but other options were just okay (instant oatmeal, cold cereal). Able to make toast and had juice.

Key machine didn't work so we had no key. Property furniture was aged, but acceptable. Rooms need tender loving care; maybe start at one end and work towards other.

Christmas music and lights

Location was great. Cozy Christmas lobby area was beautiful.

Check-in was great, Check-out not so much. They would not give me a receipt at check-out because I booked through you. Next time I'll book through the hotel. Also the room had a lot of dead ladybugs and a few live ones. There were dishes and silverware in the dishwasher.

so very comfy cozy.

I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. The owner and manager refused to help me with a reservation issue even though they were on premise. Their reasoning was they were off duty. They did not return any of my calls either.

Very inviting when you walk in, smelled amazing and staff was very pleasant.

friendly staff

parking was an issue. car dealership takes up some of the spaces. warning signs of being towed

Staff was friendly. Room was clean. The continental breakfast was decent.

Not enough parking, had to ramp a curb and park in grass both nights. No pool or hot tub, COVID is here to stay, other hotels have figured it out, do better. No hair dryer or coffee maker in the room - never stayed in a hotel without. Even the cheapest dives we've been in had these in the room. The price was high compared to the place we usually stay while in town that is nicer. I would think there should be funds available for updates. Red stains in the carpet, water spot on the ceiling, faded pictures on the walls... you get the idea. It could use a facelift.
