The room was very comfortable. We had a king size bed that was really comfortable. The air conditioning was one of those wall units that turned on and off throughout the night that was annoying.
The breakfast was better than expected. The coffee was great. They had eggs and sausage along with waffles, bagels and bread. They also offered orange juice.

Admittedly I was looking for an inexpensive place to stay that allowed dogs. So, I expected less than 100% and I was okay with that.
Check in was easy. $15 surcharge for our dog was reasonable. Got to the room and there was no microwave. Shortly after getting settled the toilet backed up. The manager was quick to hand me a plunger. I had to unplug the toilet myself. After an hour or so the manager arrived and cleaned up the bathroom mess and grabbed the plunger. Breakfast was so-so. The egg offering was a thin yellow disk about 2 1/2\" in diameter.
I've stayed in places that were far worse. It was clean basic motel experience.

There were cockroaches in our room! The staff didn't seem surprised and the manager advised me he would comp me $50 for my room but only credited me for $30. We saw them early in the morning around 6am on our last day and had to pack our stuff and leave immediately without showering or sleeping in before checkout. I won't stay at another one of these hotels again nor book through Expedia.com as when we tried to cancel one of the rooms originally, expedia wanted to charge us the same amount for one night (and more) than if I just kept the two nights as it was considered a re-booking. Just an overall frustrating experience.

I came down to Winona to visit a friend from college. I choose this hotel because it was convenient and close to my friends place. Overall, I was unimpressed by the hotel. I was initially shocked that there was no elevator. The hotel room was not the cleanest. There was dust visible on the ceiling. The shower drain was incredibly dirty. The office chair fabric was tearing off. The staff were friendly and helpful, however there was rarely a worker at the front desk. The hotel worked for why I needed but I probably won’t be returning

I woke up to a bug crawling on the bed. My husband had already complained that the bed felt itchy during the night. We only stayed here because of a snowstorm and had no other choice.
When we reported this at checkout, the front desk staff was rude and dismissive and even claimed the bug “came from a guest,” instead of taking responsibility. She did not apologize and offered only a $10 credit, no refund, no concern.
Hotels.com later gave a $25 credit, but that does not make up for the experience. Between the cleanliness issue and the poor, dishonest response, this hotel is not worth it. Take your money and go elsewhere.

The staff was very nice. But the bathroom was terrible. It was so outdated, the tub didn’t drain, and you couldn’t even close the door without standing in the tub toilet basically. Also, the AC/heat unit did not work and the room was unbearably hot so we had to leave the window open. Also, the closest exit door to us wasn’t able to be opened as the lock was broken so we had no fire exit available overall, the place looks sad, tired, and rundown.

We booked the room as we had been traveling all day. We arrived, as you came into the check in area there was an odor. We were so tired we checked in, dragged our bags up to the room. The hallway too smelled. We went to our room and there was an odor. I checked the mattress and there were little black specks on the corners of the mattress. We then turned on the heat and the smell coming from there was overwhelming. So bad. We dragged our bags down the stairs again and left. The young man that checked us in understood....and we left. I would really appreciate a refund as this was awful.

This is an older hotel with new carpet, bedding, and finishes. The hallways look old and the bathtub/shower area was definitely in need of a refresh. The caulking was old and we had trouble getting water to come out for the shower. The beds were clean and comfortable. The property is very clean. The breakfast was ok: waffles were excellent. Weird egg patty/disks were almost edible. There was no coffee pot in our room but the front desk scrounged one up along with two decaf coffee packets. The people were very friendly and welcoming.

It was an unexpected overnight and we didn't have a lot of choices with it being Friday night. Checkin we were asked to switch to a non accessible room that was also on the ground floor. We agreed to that. Our room was ok.smelled a bit musty. TV had some issues with blurring at times. But we were tired. Woke at midnight to banging on the door next to us and men yelling. Bathroom is very small. We discovered that 2 of the 3 washcloths had black stains on them. Yuck....also the coffee cups provided were not in plastic wrap. Who knows where those had been.

Moldy stinky place

Worst place I’ve ever stayed. Entered my first room with a terrible damp smell. Looked into the AC unit to find an entire ecosystem alive and well. The homeless guy on the corner has a better room. The very nice staff changed my rooms quickly which was great. And to my surprise the second room smelled like the locker room of a Wisconsin dells with rotten food. I decided I’d accept my fate and sleep in it (big mistake). I had to keep my AC off to avoid the terrible smell from it. The random tweakers hanging out in the parking lot made sure to rev their engines really loud at 3 in the morning. The whole place reminds me of a sticky ipad kid. I would actually rather stay in a cardboard box. The breakfast was edible. Make sure to only book a room here if you want a respiratory infection.

I thought for $144/night, it would be in better shape. First, the room was extremely small, including the bathroom. They're was no external area where two people could get ready at the same time. Second, the toilet wouldn't flush. It took 3, sometimes 4 times to flush thoroughly. Third, the shower curtain rod was installed improperly and wouldn't stay closed. This was easily a $90 room. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable.

Clean, Comfortable, otherwise not so great.

While the hotel is an older property, they are doing a lot of remodeling. Our room was updated with new carpet, new lighting. The room was clean and comfortable. When we arrived there was a group of maybe 4 young people, really just hanging around the front entrance and being somewhat obnoxious. No big deal I guess I was their age once myself. But I can see how it would put people off and make them maybe not want to stay. Also stating at about 10:30 PM the room next to us must have had a bunch of people in it (maybe the same hangers on from the front door?) and they were loud for hours. The breakfast was interesting, it mentioned \"lite breakfast\" but the had some sort of egg product and sausage as well. No condiments whatsoever though, except butter, so it was fair at best. Would i stay again? Possible. But unlikely.
