Guest Reviews
- DeVries (4/5): - location Floor was coming apart. No hot water or heat in the room
- David (6/5): You get what you pay for - Cheap Could use a good cleaning, people yelling and fighting about something
- Marcus (10/5): -
- muyres (2/5): I'll assume every room needs a deep thorough clean !! - Shower was decent Dirty floor. Ants. Hasn't been cleaned in a while. Needs carpet. All corners and edges along floor are dirty.
- Richard (7/5): - Convenient close to main byways
- Mitchell (10/5): - Kid behind the counter was kinda rude
- Zachary (2/5): Will not stay again - Gentleman at the front desk was great Room was filthy.
- andre (3/5): -
- Donna (5/5): -
- Kunert (5/5): If you are looking for a over night and don't mind a little dirt on the floors. Here you go. No smel - The place is older. But many updates. Very friendly and accommodating. Price was super. Pet friendly! Could use a good room cleaning.
- allford (10/5): -
- Theresa (5/5): Inexpensive quick stop on long trip - I wanted just the basics and that’s what I got…it could use some repairs but was needed for a few hours sleep before continuing my trip. It was small and warm. The doors could be more secure.
- Ron (5/5): - Room was not warm
- Robin (8/5): - The room itself was very nice. The entrance way and hallway to room were filthy. Had not been vacuumed in a while.
- Ruth (8/5): - The staff was friendly. The location was good. The price was decent. The room was clean. I saw a spider on the wall
- James (2/5): Tripping hazard - The bed was comfortable. We were able to park outside our door. We didn't see any cockroaches. The center of the room must have sustained water damage, causing the floor to be spongy and the edges of the vinyl planks to curl up and create a tripping hazard about 2 ft x 3.5 ft. We tripped on it enough while we were awake that we put a chair over it and left a light on so we wouldn't trip in the dark. It shouldn't be rented to anyone until it's repaired. Not all the rooms were rented, so it shouldn't have been rented to us, either, but I don't know if Booking.com assigns rooms or the host does. We didn't expect it to be great, and it wasn't, but unsafe is not acceptable.
- Reinicke (3/5): -
- Paul (8/5): Brief - BRIGHT CLEAN ROOM ALL NEW FIXTURES
SMART TV GOOD INTERNET Adaquate FOR WORK NADA
I DID NOT LIKE THE GOOGLE COMMENT ABOUT CLEANLINESS, MAYBE ITS THE NEW MANAGEMENT BUT THEYVE BEEN REDEEMED
- Fischer (1/5): - Nothing The room was dirty, bed had fleas,walls were painted over the mold. Cigarette burns in bedding that claimed to be a NO SMOKING room. Carpet in front of air conditioner was soaked. Requested a new room and the second room bedding had shit on them and the shower curtain had mildew on it
- Andrew (5/5): -
- Kish (1/5): - Light up parking lot Everything, it was very dirty,
- Rosenthal (10/5): -
- Amanda (1/5): HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND - Nothing Dead bugs, dirty walls, clerk unable to answer basic questions is there breakfast what time, is there a coffeemaker or coffee available. Absolutely filthy.
- Dawn (2/5): Not Good - After a booking error occurred, the staff did their best to accommodate us. Not clean. My room smelled horrible. My nephew found a cockroach in his shower.
- Kathy (7/5): Great price, clean and convenient. - Great price, clean and convenient. The air conditioner wasn’t very cool for such a hot day.
- Timothy (9/5): Well worth the price! - Some dirt behind the TV
- Jean (1/5): Owner, be better in cleaning or get out the motel business. - Nothing! Absolutely nothing. I don't know how the city and state allow this place to still be open.
My wife and I had planned to stop in Albert Lea for a week. We decided to book one night in this motel and, hopefully, extend our stay. But as soon as we got in, we saw that the floor map, the floor, the walls, the refrigerator... everything was incredibly dirty. I first tried to put my food in the refrigerator, but we saw dust and even dead mosquitoes 🤦🏿♂️, and a dry blood on the wall, as if someone had killed mosquitoes on the wall, there were also scratches on the wall... Oh no! I was disappointed, very disappointed. Luckily, we arrived around 10 p.m. and couldn't wait to leave at 10 a.m.
We finally got out in the morning and i booked the rest of my stay to Motel 6 because i stayed there two years ago and it's way better than this one and both motels are almost the same price.
But for real, the owner better take care of this place or get out out from motel business instead of creating a nasty environment for people, because someone will ended getting out this place with crazy type of infection.
- Christopher (1/5): I'd rather have stayed in my car for the night - That I got my dog out of the car for the night. Bed covers where dirty with cig burns in them. Floor was littered with dead bugs and spiderwebs in the corners of the room. The floor was all busted up. Promised HBO and free wifi but I didn't get it. The lady at the desk got mad that I had a pet with me.
- Kiznis (3/5): Poor -
- Anna (1/5): It was a place to sleep, that’s all! - The bed was comfortable, all I can say The bed was very comfortable, but the cleanliness of the room was lacking! Obviously nobody sweeps the room! We didn’t step on the floor with bare feet! The area around our room smelled like something dead in the dumpster, VERY close to rooms! Would NOT recommend! Worst place I’ve ever stayed! You asked?…
- Harris (5/5): Nothing to write home about - Location was good Problems with cable TV & Shower
- Snaples (1/5): Bad - nothing room was extremely dirty and smelled really weird
- Nelson (1/5): Bad -
- Clyde (5/5): if you're just looking for a bed, it has one - it's a room w a bed, has a bathroom, barebones motel it was the cheapest motel around, it is what it is, basic
- Marcus (10/5): Exceptional - I have stayed here multiple times now and absolutely love everything about this place! The owner remembered me from my last stay, and he and the accommodations are top notch! I highly recommend staying here!!
- Cynthia (5/5): Passable - IT didn't have coffee pot
TV Internet cable was acting up
- Andrew (8/5): Good value! - It checked all of the boxes for amenities even if some were a little worn. There was a blizzard overnight and they were nice about extending the checkout time. Good water pressure in the shower! Good value. Everything was good and I got a good nights rest. If you’re picky you should probably spend another $20 elsewhere for a slight upgrade
- Lanell (6/5): Pleasant - Close to restaurants and hospital. Staff was very nice and accommodating even though there were issues getting paid from Booking.com Needs quite a bit of upkeep and updating. The bed was very old and mattress sagging into the middle a lot!
- Marivel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kirsten (5/5): Quick sleep and left - Bed was decent, guy employee in the morning was very nice and friendly, cheap stay Couldn’t hear the lady very well through the glass,seemed like we interrupted her sleep. cleanliness wasn’t the greatest, pretty out dated for a hotel these days.
- Catherine (10/5): It was an incredible value for the price. - The motel was exactly what I was looking for. Very quiet, affordable Everything was perfect. The name of the motel was very similar to the one next door. This was confusing and I ended up going to the wrong one and thought that they lost my reservation.
- Mikey (2/5): Best price in town.. - Took 3 minutes for HOT WATER to function properly, and no breakfast snacks as promised..
- Nayeli (1/5): Bad -
- Stephen (6/5): Pleasant - Fading place, but for the price it did the trick. Comfortable bed, good sheets. Exterior could use an facelift. Room itself was fine.
- Ward (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ron (1/5): STAY AWAY DONT BOOK THERE - Nothing good to say about this place it is a shithole the staff were rude the rooms had cockroaches not clean at all. Stay away
- Marcus (10/5): Exceptional - The owners checked me in and were extremely friendly and accommodating, especially since I was traveling with my dog Franny.
- Karla (1/5): Bates motel for sure!!! - The room was dirty and had a chunk of something with long hair attached on the floor in the sink area. Looked like some one had been scalped! There were blood drops on the floor near it. Really dark around the outside of the room and not much of a lock on the door. Very creepy... I referred to this place as the Bates motel!!! Everything! It was a waist of my money.
- Valerie (7/5): Clean quiet motel for a good price. - The room was clean with no smoke odor, and the shower provided not only hot water, but a current of warm air from the blower on the ceiling, making it especially comfortable. Bed was comfortable and clean. The room was very quiet all night. Some might complain about the outdated furniture and appearance, but I just wanted a good sleep in a quiet setting, which it provided. Refrigerator kept food cold without freezing it, and the microwave was new, The Green Mill Restaurant provided a good supper and was only minutes away. Nothing to complain about except lack of internet, but a winter storm was raging outside and may have been responsible.
- Steven (1/5): Bad -
- Joel (2/5): Very poor -
- Sandy (1/5): We did not stay and requested money back for the conditions of the property -
- Mr (6/5): Pleasant - The room was clean and quiet, and the price was good. This is a personal preference, there was no iron nor ironing board.
- Mike (1/5): Bad - The bed was horrible it was bouncy and springy and very very uncomfortable it needs to be replaced second of all the room was extremely dark the lights had very dim bulbs in them it was very hard to see during the night
- Mark (4/5): Slightly disappointed - No paper cups in the room, towels looked very old & we're small
- Enriquez (2/5): Very poor -
- Bryon (10/5): Exceptional - Location
