This hotel was conveniently located about halfway between our home in West Michigan and St.Paul/Minneapolis. We found Gladstone to be a pleasant little town to explore and caught the sunset down by the lighthouse pier. Good choice of restaurants, too. The hotel itself was fine. We slept well. The bathroom was clean. Don't however count on the coffee provided in room. Very bitter and the packet of creamer broke in hard pieces when opened. Thank goodness for the McDonalds practically next door. Also someone needs to do a little window washing. The front side door was completely smudged and dirty. Poor first impression. Also there was a good sized hole in the window screen in the room that should be fixed. All in all though, the stay was good for the price.

Liked: Cleanliness
Rooms were very clean. Tub was very dangerous. It was extremely slippery. The shower curtain was 3 feet too long. The tub wall was 3 feet deep. So To step in or out was dangerous. There are not any grab bars. Toilet paper seemed to be rationed so I bought my own to supplement. But for the money, it was sufficient. The other person staying with me went to a friends house to shower since she could not safely step in or out of the tub.

The bed was very high off the floor. The bed covers was very warm like polar-tex blanket . Most hotels have thin bed cover and sheet covering them. The bed must of had plastic cover. We were both hot all night.

Clean room, but older hotel that looks in need of some updates. Our room faced the highway so traffic noise was reality. No hairdryer. But for the price Memorial Day weekend, good value for just an overnight stay.
