Guest Reviews

• Kettering (9/5): Good place to stay; good place to eat. - very good meal here with local friends; handsome view from room
• Rachel (10/5): Friendly and comfortable. - Everyone was nice, parking was easy, and all the families there to visit St. Olaf made it extra fun. Nothing. We loved looking out at the river from our window and walking into town.
• Kim (9/5): -
• Hilmara Cristina (8/5): Boa - A localização e o restaurante são bons. A limpeza ficou a desejar, ficamos 3 dias e o quarto não foi limpo nenhuma vez apesar de pedirmos a limpeza na recepção. Além disto o hotel fez uma cobrança em duplicidade da estadia e ainda não estornaram.
• Brian (10/5): -
• sandy (10/5): -
• Willie (8/5): Very good. - Could have extended the hours a bit, could have expanded the option a bit.
• Janet (9/5): Nice place on river very near downtown. Quiet by ten pm. Very comfortable bed! - Location good. Breakfast was so-so. Scones were stale, no bread to toast (only bagels), oatmeal seemed old (wouldn't come off serving spoon). But at least there was oatmeal! Nice to have on site restaurant (though we went out). Breakfast On a busy road
• Rebecca (7/5): -
• Bradley (9/5): -
• Maxine (8/5): -
• Bishop (9/5): -
• Jerry (9/5): Visited family. - Nice clean & comfortable. Enjoyed the breakfast choices. In a past visit, the pool & workout area were great. Nothing that comes to mind
• JAY (10/5): -
• Sarah (8/5): -
• Christina (6/5): - Could not charge my electric car. All spots were taken by non electric cars. There is a sign posted that those spots were only for electric cars. Management said they couldn’t do anything about it. :(
• Katherine (10/5): -
• Joan (8/5): -
• Christopher (8/5): -
• Gail (8/5): - The breakfast was fabulous
• Kathy (9/5): - Good location, clean. Pillows were extremely flat, almost unusable.
• Wade Scarbrough (9/5): -
• Max (10/5): - Josh was super helpful at front desk.
• Matthew (6/5): - Overall the property is fine, but the tub/shower drained very slowly, leaving the occupant with standing water up to his/her mid-calf by the end of the shower. Yuck. Otherwise, our stay was good - close to St. Olaf College, handy to have a restaurant/bar in the hotel, and clean rooms.
• James (8/5): - I would prefer if they would clean the room each day but other than that, everything was as expected
• Liwei (10/5): - This hotel is clean, front desk is friendly, only problem is transportation to airport. I tried to call Uber , but no Uber driver responded .
• Shaina (10/5): - Close proximity to colleges. Clean and spacious rooms. Fun to have outdoor patio drinks
• Leslie (10/5): - This is a very comfortable property—restful beds, clean rooms, accommodating staff, great terrace overlooking the river.
• Kathleen (10/5): -
• XIANG (8/5): - Room is not ready at check-in time, otherwise it’s fine.
• Katelynn (10/5): - It was very nice! Very clean. This was the first time I traveled by myself and I felt very safe!
• Gail (8/5): - Close to campus!
• Lisa (10/5): Extremely clean and quiet! - Great location! Nothing
• Vilma (8/5): - Nice clean hotel
• Jorge (10/5): - This is my go-to hotel in Northfield. It’s location downtown is excellent, and the hotel is in very good condition, operated professionally and cordially.
• Jen (10/5): Wonderful! Will definitely stay here again! - Clean, modern, easy to access, great breakfast, close to downtown, parking (once understood). Great view of the river. The parking thing was a little confusing at first.
• Ellen (10/5): Northfield Hotel - This hotel is a nice addition to Northfield, MN. My only complaint is that the room was not cleaned and we were there for two nights.
• Nancy (10/5): One nighter - Stop on way to Michigan from CA. New hotel, good pet area. Location close to downtown, walkable. College area, but quiet. Very clean and covered parking underground. Breakfast excellent, area clean.
• Patrick (10/5): - We love this place! It is pleasant, clean, and easy! The staff was all incredibly friendly and caring.
• Jessica (6/5): It was fine. - Location Room was moderately clean. Could see dirt in hard to reach places on carpet and there appeared to be a (sorry) booger on the side of one of the toilet paper rolls (we threw it away!).
• Chris (10/5): Great place to stay - Clean rooms with comfortable beds, a great staff and good breakfast.
• Larry and Linda (10/5): - Good location and friendly staff. Good breakfast selections!
• Timothy (10/5): - Staff, facility and location were all great! Would happily stay again.
• Kirsten (10/5): - The underground parking was nice. Great breakfast spread.
• Melanie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michele (4/5): - A convenient location for parents of Carleton College or St. Olaf but be careful when you stay. If it is Minnesota Boy's Hockey Weekend expect hordes of poorly supervised boys whose parents are unable to do so as they are so, so busy socializing in the bar/restaurant. You will be treated to boys running up and down the halls playing hockey with pucks whizzing through the air. Watch out or you'll be hit with a puck -- plastic, but it still hurts. The noise is unrelenting. The restaurant will not be available nor the pool or fitness center due to the hundreds of children all competing for the cinnamon rolls or two working treadmills. The staff is too overwhelmed or timid to intervene. A parent was overheard in the elevator expressing dismay when a guest asked him to please intervene with his children regarding the noise level. He said, "Well, it's Boy's Hockey Weekend!" Sure it is. But, people also have paid to stay in a comfortable, quiet hotel too. Grossly inconsiderate. And, we wonder why children are dreadfully behaved these days. Never again!
• Judith (10/5): - Very comfortable bed and great shower.
• Brenna (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marty (10/5): - Clean and neat property. The best place to stay in Northfield.
• Sherry (10/5): Exceptional -
• Steven (8/5): - Very nice place and walking distance to both Carleton and downtown Northfield
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Terrible customer service. Refused to switch our rooms from king bed to two doubles because we booked through a 3rd party app. Wouldn’t extend to late check out (we had a sick son) also because we booked through a 3rd party app. As a Marriott loyalty member, I was thoroughly disappointed.
• Eric (6/5): - They let us check in early which was nice. Under ground parking was good.
• julieaO15QW (10/5): Great Location/Superb Room - Very impressed with this hotel. Not a problem or regret to write about. But it would have been nice if pool was open the wkend we stayed. But started with heated parking, awesome room, good bar food and breakfast and decent price per night. Thanks Northfield. We will be back!
• Marty (10/5): - Nicest hotel in Northfield. Great breakfast, spacious rooms
• Susan (10/5): - A beautiful hotel in Northfield, Minnesota. Walking distance to many restaurants, bakeries, and cute shops.
• Chad (6/5): Ok but not great - Overall this a nice hotel that we chose because it was modern, included breakfast, had laundry facilities, and underground parking. I wanted to love this hotel because it is the newest and most modern hotel in town but it fell short. Breakfast- four out of the seven days there was little to no food with no staff attending to the buffet so we ended up going out to get breakfast. The few days we did get breakfast at the hotel it was not good flavor or quality. We needed to use the laundry room but it was locked and no one on the staff could find a key to open it so we had to load up all of our stuff and take it across town to the laundromat. Overall this could be a great hotel with some slight tweaks and better management.
• Denise (10/5): Great to be with friends. - Great place to stay and be able to gather in the public space with friends. I loved that the hotel had a bar/restaurant.
• L.J. (10/5): - 👍
• SHARLYN (10/5): - Electric charging was a big plus
• Kelly (10/5): Great experience-will stay there again. - Very comfortable and clean hotel; easy walk to Carleton College.
• cary (10/5): - Clean and convienient
• Samantha (10/5): Quick cozy work trip - It was right next to a beautiful trail to walk! The breakfast was great, everything by was clean and spacious and the people were so nice! No comment
• Mark (10/5): - Located along the river
• Jennifer (9/5): Best hotel in Northfield! - It’s convenient to st Olaf and walking around Northfield. Love the underground parking for security. On-site bar and restaurant is convenient for getting a cocktail before bed. N/A
• Andrew (6/5): - Nice staff and underground parking is a plus. Beds were not very comfortable and noise from the local train was loud and made for a rough night.
• Burton (10/5): - I like the outdoor deck over the river. Also pool is small but very clean and nice temperature. Overall cleanliness of property is good. One elevator and shower edges could use some work. Breakfast has good choices. Staff is friendly.
• Connie (10/5): - Beautiful decor and very spacious rooms! I will definitely be back!
• Katherine (8/5): - This hotel was exactly what you'd expect from a FI&S. Clean, comfortable and easy. The only bummer was that the power was out when we got there - they said it happens often?!? - which made it hard to check in or eat at the hotel as we planned.
• dbutler385 (8/5): Clean hotel with several amenities - Located in the heart of Northfield, this young hotel includes 80 rooms and four stories, a full-service bar and a spacious deck that overlooks the Cannon River. You can enjoy a light menu of appetizers and salads while taking in the sounds of the river. There is also above ground parking and a climate-controlled underground parking garage, an indoor swimming pool, fitness center, and a very good complimentary hot breakfast. Our room was on the first floor with an 8-foot wide hallway. The room itself had a large bathroom with a walk-in shower, but living space was very tight. Additionally, the refrigerator was quite small. Nevertheless, I would recommend this hotel. It is located minutes from many amenities in downtown Northfield.
• mark (10/5): Great place. - Nice place. Clean, great breakfast.
• Jennifer (10/5): - This is a lovely hotel- VERY clean. We are in the area several times a year when our horses compete at Simon Arena in Cannon Falls. The only complaint is that we generally arrive with two VERY large Ford F350 trucks. The small amount if surface parking was a challenge. The trucks are too tall for the garage, and we were told we could park up the street at ReMaxx. Not practical for the amount of gear and early mornings/late nights as young women coming and going alone. The staff was kind enough to work with us and let us leave a truck in the valet area. You may just want to make sure that parking considerations are made,
• Freda (8/5): - Nice hotel, overall. Carpet in room needs thorough vacuuming. Bar and grill onsite is convenient. Breakfast options decent. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Parking is free which is always appreciated. Biggest negative is the very loud train that runs through town. Windows need to be insulated.
• Kristin (10/5): Exceptional -
• James (8/5): - Nothing to add
• Veronika (10/5): - Love the location close to old town and St. Olaf!!
• Karen (10/5): - This motel worked out great for us. Location by river and near downtown where some of our events took place
• Pamela (6/5): - Front desk bar neither had quarters for laundry so had to hang dry clothes. Really you didn’t have $2.00 in quarters. Would not add my club number to stay said impossible to do after check in I work for Marriott I know better.
• Linda (8/5): Very good -
• Bethany (9/5): Very nice, comfy beds, great staff! - Breakfast was great, tons of delicious options for everyone. Well rounded offerings of hot food (spinach quiche, omelettes, scrambled eggs, bacon, breakfast sandwiches, make your own waffles) as well as yogurt, cereal, oatmeal, hard boiled eggs, all the toppings, and several pastry/bagel options. Coffee and lots of juices! The pool is a little small, not really optimal for swimming laps, but perfect for just relaxing or small kids. but overall not a bad option if you just want a dip.
• Marisa (9/5): Superb -
• Shirley (9/5): Superb - The only hotel in Northfield that doesn't smell musty and/or perfumed. A very nice experience.
• Jonathan (10/5): - I'm forced to type something in this box to say that the property is good, as expected. It's a well managed and maintained hotel.
• Cathy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marilyn (10/5): Loved this place! - Loved this place! The restaurant/bar was on the river and was a very pleasant bonus. Our room was on the “city view” side, which means busy street and railroad. The window had a really pretty shade that looked like a tree, but it wasn’t sound-proof.
• Amy (8/5): Northfield Gem! - The hotel is beautiful, inside and out. The staff is courteous and the restaurant has delicious food and drinks. The outdoor patio makes meals on site even more enjoyable. It’s located on the river, and close to the downtown, so getting around on foot or car is easy.
• Justin (6/5): - Parking lot was very small. Beds were not as nice as I expected for a Marriott which sucks. Also the toilet paper holder was very annoying. Other than that really clean place and friendly staff.
• Max (8/5): - As expected. It was very good, clean, comfortable and staff were nice. Just not luxurious. Had great Mexican food from Coco’s nearby. Would stay again. Recommend.
• Jill (6/5): - Excellent breakfast buffet. Get a room on the river side if possible.
• Elizabeth (10/5): - The hotel was clean and very spacious. The parking garage with direct access to the hotel by elevator was terrific. The pool is small. Our air conditioner made an annoying chirping noise.
• Mindy (10/5): - The river was pretty. I liked the bar and that there was food available. The room was very nice and it was clean. The hotel was super quiet as well. I liked the covered parking. The only ding I would say was the smell the parking area had because of the all rain we’ve had I’m sure.
• Shelly (9/5): Superb -
• 951bruced (8/5): Recommended stay in Northfield - Was a great stay for our visits to Northfield over the last few years. Nice property, nice staff, clean, etc. It’s showing a little wear and tear versus a few years ago but overall highly recommended. Great location for walking to town or visiting colleges.
• Amanda (10/5): Exceptional -
• adbe2000 (8/5): Understanding Manager - Before a planned visit, we were unable to attend due to an emergency, and the manager provided a cancelation no questions asked. Really appreciate their understanding and would recommend for their customer service. I didn't expect the help and I appreciate it as a Bonvoy member.
• Rachel (10/5): - I liked the common area which was great for visiting
• Christopher (8/5): Very good - No bad breakfast. Reasonable selection. Unfortunate use of disposable ware.
• Rich (10/5): - Spent five nights at this property for my 50th college reunion. Love the convenience and roominess of the walk-in shower. Enjoyed sleeping in a very comfortable bed with great pillows. The pool was very nice place to relax and unwind. The variety of breakfast items was appreciated for a multi-day stay. Front desk staff could be more personable. The property is located in a great town with two liberal arts colleges.
• Ashley (10/5): - We love the Fairfield!
• normanv725 (6/5): Lovely hotel, mediocre servicing of rooms. - This hotel is new and attractively furnished. The public rooms and spaces are immaculately clean, spacious, and welcoming. The breakfast buffet is outstanding: hot egg dishes, anything else you could possibly want. The beds are very comfortable and the storage space good. The service at the front desk was friendly and professional. The one complaint I have is that we stayed five nights, and we received NO attention to our room by the maids. We were told on arrival that our room would be "serviced" every other day. Simply not true. We had to empty our waste baskets ourselves, ask for clean towels and toilet paper, and coffee pods. There are no towel rods in the bathroom to hang wet towels to dry. The bed was never made. Our room was NOT dusted or vacuumed during our entire stay. The bathroom was never cleaned. On one occasion the maids knocked at our door and asked if we needed anything. We did--trash emptied, wet towels removed, more coffee pods, more toilet paper. The maids handed us the goods at the door. During Covid many hotels developed a "no Service" policy--but why has it continued? Is this a Marriott strategy to curb expenses? I would stay at this hotel again. (By the way, the deck overlooking the river is lovely, and the independent restaurant "small plates" delicious.) When/if we do stay here, I would plan on bringing my own cleaning supplies and figure out a way to dry the towels, contriving towel racks?? We are not fussy guests. I am not opposed to making our own bed, but the "servicing" at this hotel is nonexistent. Otherwise, I would rate this hotel as "Excellent."
