    Needs quite a bit of upkeep and updating. The bed was very old and mattress sagging into the middle a lot!

    Close to restaurants and hospital. Staff was very nice and accommodating even though there were issues getting paid from Booking.com

    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.

    Nothing! Absolutely nothing.

    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.

    That I got my dog out of the car for the night.

    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?…

    The bed was comfortable, all I can say

    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

    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! It was a waist of my money.

    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!!!

    Clean quiet motel for a good price.
    • Leisure trip

    • Standard Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Nothing to complain about except lack of internet, but a winter storm was raging outside and may have been responsible.

    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.
