Categories

Cleanliness
3.5
Multiple reports of serious cleanliness problems (mold on ceilings, dirty rooms, used sheets and makeup on bedding, possible blood on switch) outweigh a few positive comments about some clean rooms.
Service
7.8
Mixed but generally competent: several guests praised friendly/helpful staff, but others reported no staff, difficulty finding help, or unhelpful management when faults were raised; overall service is often available but inconsistent.
Location
8
Consistently praised for convenient placement near I-35 and local attractions; quiet at night and useful for travelers.
Room Quality
4.5
Varied reports: some rooms described as nice and clean, while others had mold, poor maintenance (door that didn't latch) and generally aged interiors; overall below average due to serious issues in multiple reports.
Amenities
6.5
Complimentary breakfast and a pool received positive mentions, but amenities are uneven (notably poor Wi-Fi) leading to an average-to-slightly-above-average score.
Value for Money
7
Several guests cited good value and that the property was a reasonable choice for the price despite some issues; perceived as a decent value by many.
Food and Beverage
7.6
Breakfast repeatedly described as substantial and decent; complimentary breakfast is a clear positive across reviews.
Overall Experience
4.7
Overall mixed-to-negative: positives (location, breakfast, some helpful staff and clean stays) are offset by serious cleanliness and maintenance failures and inconsistent staffing, resulting in a below-target overall impression.

Not what I expected!
Pros:

Breakfast was ok if one got it at 6:30.

Cons:

Mold on the ceilings of the 3 rooms I
was given. The room I finally stayed in, had a streak of black/blue/ green growth on 1/2 of the ceiling. As there were no other hotels with available rooms within 15 miles, I stayed.
Management was NOT happy that I found fault, but did give me a room.

Pros:

Put it this way. I had business all the way over in Elko New Market past Lakeville and I stayed here because I knew it was the nicest place for the price I was looking for. I've had several bad experiences at motels being dirty and sketchy. I came across this one in Forest Lake and decided it was worth the almost hour extra drive to stay here. It's clean, the breakfast was decent, and close to Taylors Falls where I used to live as a bonus. Good value and a decent place to stay.

Home away from home.
Pros:

Overall, we found our experience very pleasant. There's no such thing as perfect, but all in all, staff was great and the motel and our room were clean and the location was very convenient for our travel.

NO FRESH SHEETS!!
Pros:

Everything was great except the one thing that should be top priority. I am disgusted. I pulled back the covers to go to bed and found idk what all over the sheets. Looked like skin peelings from someone shedding a sunburn. Also found fresh makeup (not stains) all over the sheets and the pillows. They DID NOT put fresh sheets or pillow cases on the beds. Fortunately I always come prepared with my own as I am always traveling. SMH this hotel has no concern for the health protection of its guests! GROSS

clean , good location, welcoming,
Pros:

I absolutely love this place! The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming — they went above and beyond when the accessible rooms were fully booked over the weekend, helping me settle into a comfortable room on the first floor instead.
I visited a year ago, and I'm happy to say the hotel has come a long way. The design and atmosphere have been beautifully refreshed, and the overall vibe feels much more polished and inviting. The room was spotlessly clean, and the location is ideal — peaceful and quiet at night, yet conveniently close to the highway.
Highly recommended!
