Nice and convenient stay.
Pros:

Location. It was the closet hotel to Leech Lake Ojibeway Reservation.

Cons:

The road constuction on Hwy 197 was a bit confusing to get to the hotel. But I love Best Western hotels.

All good
Pros:

Great room , comfortable

Cons:

Had to ask for a change of sheets because there was an odor on them when I went to bed. They were changed, and they smelled fresh after that.

Was very disappointed.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable.

Cons:

I was very disappointed in the room. It was not clean there was mold in the shower and spiderwebs in each corner of the room. Also the smoke detector was not working. Was not a clean place to stay nor was it a good price for the quality of the stay.
