“Nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2013 NEW

Just a nice clean hotel with a better continental breakfast than most. Great value. Poor pillows like most so we bring our own. Large breakfast area. Only complaint would be it has thin walls. We had a adjoining room door and could hear any conversation. Maybe try a upper floor or room without a adjoining door.

“great value and location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2012

We stayed here on our way to South Dakota. The hotel is right on highway 90, easy to access and right near shopping and restaurants. The staff is friendly and eager to help. The rooms are clean and well appointed--with keurig coffee makers in the room (along with the coffee pods), a nice large flat screen TV, comfortable beds and... More

“Relaxing Quiet”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2012

Room is large, comfortable, and clean. The room is modern, easy connection to internet. Close to highway, but no highway noise. Had a good night sleep. Breakfast had hot food, fresh fruit, good selection of items.

“Clean, pet friendly, helpful - an ideal oasis on a VERY long journey”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2012

We booked this hotel as a pet friendly location to crash the night with our kids and dog as a half way point between Naperville, Illinois and Deadwood, SD. We have had some pretty grotty experiences with pet friendly hotels before so were thrilled when we arrived here exhausted, to find a beautifully clean room with plenty of space for... More

“OK but not too much better”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2012

Traveled here with friends , on personal business. We required a pet friendly room, which was provided. (we had a reservation). All amenities were OK. Perhaps I have been staying at much nicer places, but this just seemed average. Ended up with a raging case of athletes foot, presumably from the shower. On the bright side, the breakfast was great!... More

“Suzanne, Suzanne, Suzanne!!! What a friendly start to our day in the front lobby of this hotel.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2012 via mobile

Breakfast was hot, tasty and the dining area was beyond clean. Individually wrapped breakfast items ensured freshness. Susanne was so friendly and energetic. She gave us lots of travel info as we head into South Dakota. We both felt like we were dining in our kitchen with friends present.The rooms were spotless. Bed really comfortable.

“Better than average”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2012

We went to Albert Lea to meet a family member for two nights, and explore the town. We often stay at Super 8 motels, because we want an inexpensive place to sleep on long trips. This time, we opted for the Best Western Plus, after reading other reviews. We feel the Best Western chain can be risky due to such... More

“Recent Trip”

On a recent trip heading home we decided to stay in Alerbert Lea for the night, enough driving for one day. Upon arrival I asked the desk clerk for an upgrade to a larger room with sofa, which was done without hesitation. Our room was reasonable in cost, away from the freeway, quiet and comfortable, nothing special. Hotel staff were... More
