Was a great place to stay, everything was top notch
Pros:

We were there for two nights. Breakfast area was spotless, food was great, we were full when we left each morning. Lots of choices for anyone's desires.

Cons:

Outlets in the rooms should be checked for replacement. Chargers would fall out of them

Ok but I would probably not choose this facility again if staying in Willmar.
Pros:

Staff service excellent. Room was clean and bed comfortable

Cons:

Bathroom needs updating. Lighting in bathroom was awful, very low light. Although clean, Shower looked like something from the 90’s.

Pros:

Very gentle staff.
Space in the room and big bed.
Breakfast as expected.

Cons:

The bathroom was not clean. Sticky floor.

Not exactly a clean room, but a cozy place to sleep!
Pros:

The bed was comfortable. The comforter was soft and warm. AC worked good. The pool is open 24/7! Which is so nice. The check in staff were amazing!

Cons:

2/4 pillow cases had brown colored stains. The chair in the corner of the room was covered in stains. The shower curtain was barely long enough to reach into the bathtub.

Bed was really comfortable

Housekeeping needs to move the bedside tables and clean under the bed, it was pretty disgusting under there.

Make sure to book directly with the hotel!
Pros:

The hotel and stay were great.

Cons:

I hope I won't have to reserve a room through Booking.com again. There's just no flexibility and no real help, and the hotel couldn't make any changes or adjustments to our room type either.
