    I stay there fairly regularly (about once a month) when I need to stay in town after work. The staff has always been super friendly and the rooms are the cleanest I've seen among all the motels in this price range in the area. It's simple and convenient and the price is right.

    OMG!!! I paid for the room for the night, but once I showered and prepared for bed, I was watching TV and I felt something on me, my head started to itch badly and then my hands, so I looked around the headboard and I found little bugs!!! I quickly dressed, bagged my clothes I was wearing in bed, wrote a note about my experience & left!!! I was only there for about 2-3 hours!!! I CANNOT believe that they didn't contact me for more information or to apologize, or offer a partial refund, or anything!!! I tried getting Photos too, but the bugs ran with my flash, so they're hard to see!!! I was fit to be tied!!! I would NOT RECCOMEND THEM AT ALL!!! 👎😰

    The service staff are friendly and very accommodating! The decor is about 4-5 decades behind, but the room, bathroom, linens & towels were clean and the bed was comfortable. At a rate of $47/night for single room, what more do you really need to sleep?

    Staff was very friendly, hospitable, and the brick walls were nice because it was quiet. It was clean and cheaper than a motel 6. Would love to stay again! Also, provided me a ride to a local bar and made sure I returned. These people rock! What other establishment would do that for a complete and random traveller?

    I've stayed here for about two months. The staff is excellent and go out their way to accommodate! The room in is very nice and big. It's quiet on the weekends and evenings. It's clean and if anything goes wrong it gets fixed very quickly. All in all its a very nice hotel. I'll stay here again if ever given the opportunity!!

    Super thrifty, super nice folks that provide sleeping places for people who need to stay in a place that provides sleeping places, which this place does and in a very low cost economic fashion. A person could almost say they are being thrifty. Hey, Wait a minute...

    Room and staff are decent for the price and will be back with my boys because they gave us a good decent rate and were very polite . Clean and quiet.

    This is the worst hotel in St Cloud Minnesota. I'm 22 weeks pregnant. And I sat on the end of the bed and the head of the bed raised up. I thought I was dying standing up laying down. My soul left my body. Not a family hotel. Nasty rugs in busted pipelines when i was there. Poor cleaning services do to dogs hair throughout the building... Why is this place still open.

    The room was cheap. Very gross though... Wouldnt do it again, feel like i need another shower else where. But on The plus side no roaches no bugs! Itd be nice if someone cleaned the bath tub and vacuumed its bad. .. also i dont want hair on my towels that isnt mine.

    My intentions are to not Visit the Establish again in the future, due to being annoyed by Guests during the most recent visit. May not consider to expect any less than such. It infers a desperate aire for those staying there, it so conveys.

  • 4/5 Lewis M. 5 years ago on Google
    Pretty good for the price. Nice staff. Hallways looked a bit rough, but the room itself was decent. Shower head had good pressure. AC unit worked and drowned out any potential outside noise. Mattress was firm. No frills. All business.

  • 3/5 Red N. 3 years ago on Google
    It's a real nice , clean place but having to have an ID for guest us so obserd and uncalled for. And for them to tell you how long company can visit. Wait !!! Did we forget that at hotels n motels we rent the rooms not paying to be babysitted.

  • 5/5 Robert N. 7 years ago on Google
    Great price! This is a no frills motel so you aren't paying for anything you may not need or use. Room was clean and everything was working and in good repair. Staff even offered to help me carry my bags in. Straight shot to downtown (~2 miles) and gas station next door to fill up when it's time to go home.
