The property is old. Our room with double bed was quite small. The sheets were stained. Space heater. Recommended shower mat for wet bathroom floor. Located near train track. Limited access to lobby.

Would recommend

This room was booked almost 30 days in advance with the trip insurance via hotels.com. That being said, upon arrival, the hotel did not have our reservation on file. The gentleman could sense our distress and was very accommodating. Thankfully he had a room available (for 2 nights over MEA weekend). The room was very clean and cozy with soft bedding and coordinating thick bathroom towels. Larger fridge. The shower is a bit on the small side but it had 2 celing heaters. The images do not depict the motel style of the hotel. No popl or hot tub on site. Would recommend as it is a nice cozy place, reasonable with friendly staff.

Staff was friendly. Room seemed extremely clean as well as the grounds. Bed was excellent ,as well were the bath towels! Only real complaint was the bathroom was very tiny, could barely maneuver in the shower, and I'm not a large person.

Nostalgic stay next to easy nature trail

Loved the nostalgic setting with sufficient updates for modern convenience and comfort. Having the nature trail just outside the door was also wonderful. I was even able to easily extend my stay on short notice.

The rooms at this property were clean and reasonably spacious for the price. They are a little bit older. They have older traditional keys not electronic keys. The shower was as small as I have ever seen in a hotel room. I did appreciate that there was an apartment size fridge and freezer a bed and a futon in the room.

Was a bit leery when I pulled up but the room was charming. Nicely updated, very clean with lots of extras like full size fridge and coffeemaker, micro and huge fluffy towels. Comfy bed and nice recliner with an outdoor seating/bbq area as well. Great location with bike and hiking trails right behind the building.

Friendly staff, comfortable stay, right on the trail. it was a treat to meet a member of the Munger family. Willard Munger did great things for conservation and the environment!. He helped lay the groundwork for modern Minnesota environmental policy, emphasizing sustainability and stewardship.
