Needs attention.

We had some issues about the cleanliness of the toilet at the bathroom and several things in the room needed some mechanical attention. The staff very friendly. Accommodating. There was a wedding with lots of guests that weekend so there was a lot of activity outside during the course of the evening and late hours but not noisy. Just activity.

Don’t stay here

We checked in and went to dinner. When we went to our room, we found the beds to be rumpled and unclean - stained sheets, hairs, and not made. We went back downstairs to ask for help, but staff had left for the night. There was a note with a number to call for help, but no one answered. Left a voicemail, but no one ever called back. Called Hotels.com, but they were useless and have refused to give us a refund. We went to the other hotel down the road and paid directly. Now we’re out over $400. Don’t stay here.

The desk staff were VERY KIND AND HELPFUL. The walls are thin, and the neighbors were loud. The room was basic, and mostly clean, but I did have to pluck some hair and other stuff out of the bed before I climbed in, and the bedspread appeared as if someone had been sitting on it before I arrived, and that was not very welcoming. Also: a hairdryer in the room would be great. I did enjoy the morning coffee and a pear.

It was okay....

The staff was nice, but if i would have seen them.on the street i wouldnhave thought they were drug addicts. They appeared to be living at the hotel and work there for their rent. Breakfast was some brwakfast sandwiches, bananas and prepackaged cereals on the counter along with bottled water, OJ and milk that was just sitting out. Th room was clean, but thats about all I can say. The room.next to me was propped open for the 2 days i was there with nothing foing on in it - messy sheets like there was no servixe on the weekend. The only reason i felt safe was because this is Wascea and what kind of criminal element would live in Waseca.
