This place was so dismal i couldn’t bring myself to stay. The room stank and there is no way i would put barefeet on that floor. The Expedia listing gives this property two and a half stars and good ratings - cannot believe that crap. It was at best a no-tell motel - the high school kids were checking in with cases of beer when i left. I forfeited my money and stayed down the road

The room was classically old, but very clean. The website indicated hair dryers, but they're not in the rooms. We had to go ask for one at the office, which isn't convenient when your hair is wet! We're used to free breakfast and other amenities, but all in all, if you need a clean and comfortable place to sleep, this is fine!

Nice \"old school\" motel that is clean/comfortable.

Boy, does this place take me back to my childhood when places like this were the norm. A cute, little roadside motel that was so common in the 1960s/70s, before the generic and bland chain hotels took over. Though dated (obviously), the room was clean and comfortable. The service was very good and the one staff member that checked me in was friendly and helpful.
I really enjoyed the \"throwback\" feel of this place, and felt a real sense of nostalgia staying there. We need more places like the Lamberton Hotel.

We never ended up staying at OYO as in error I booked the incorrect check-in date by 1 day. I was unaware of this until one of the hotel staff called me at 9:15PM the night before we thought checkin was to see if we were coming. At that point I realized my error and asked the gentleman to change my checkin date to the following evening…..his reply was this was a non-refundable reservation and I would need to call Expedia. This motel is in a town of under 800 people and you would expect a more courteous attempt to make a customer happy. I wasn’t trying to get my money refunded I just needed my checkin date moved 1 day later. The only reason I can think that a motel would call to see if you were coming was to allow them to book the room that was already reserved, I have no proof of that just my assumption. We still went to the museum in Walnut Grove but we refused to stay at this hotel and pay them any more money. Extremely disappointed in the lack of customer service, something I wouldn’t expect at all from a small town business. I did contact Expedia for help but they couldn’t get anyone at the hotel to answer the phone that late at night and I didn’t get anymore communication from them either after 20 hours from my initial contact with Expedia. We ended up driving out of our way to stay over at another motel and don’t book through Expedia or OYO. Just a bad experience. I totally understand I evidently made a 1 day error on my check-in date but give some grace!

Best Accomodations in the Price Point for the area

Make no mistake about it, The Lamberton Motel (OYO) is the best option within an hour drive if it's location within its price point.

It's not the Ritz Carlton, but it's mostly quiet and even more importantly, it is CLEAN. Many hotels in Redwood Falls (and apparently New Ulm and Willmar) are absolutely disgusting. At least one place I can attest to from experience, the rest I strongly suspect based on the reviews pattern.

If you have to come to this part of the state and are on a tight budget, book here.

Nothing really unique but i dont care it was a room which had beds, TV, fridge etc. There was nothing outstanding about the place but nothing bad about it either. Sure it could use some sprucing up in certain areas but i never once was like i wouldnt stay here again. Owner was very friendly and we felt safe the whole time. So overall it was priced fairly and provided us with what we needed which was a place to sleep after we were out all day exploring the area.

The property is very old, but has been refurbished. The room was very clean, although a little musty smelling. Nothing a good air freshener couldn't cure.
The sheets had a wonderful just laundered smell and were very crisp and clean. Bed was comfortable. Great water pressure in the shower and plenty of hot water.
We never saw a soul during our 1 night stay. The key was in the door when we arrived and we dropped it off in a basket at the desk the next morning where no one was present. Very strange but not inconvenient.

Clean and comfortable, but not much soundproofing

It was a comfortable place to stay for two nights while on business. It included a nice book of area restaurants and other services. My room shared a door with the room next door, and I could hear every word of their phone call, so not a lot of sound proofing. But starting around 9:30 p.m., everything was really quiet.

Great Motel Stay

10/10 would stay again. While it could use updates, the property supplies everything you'd need for a motel stay. Cable TV, microwave, mini fridge, plenty of outlets, great lighting, coffee maker suitable for k cups. Given inflation I definitely feel that the cost to amenity ratio was perfect for what I was looking for. And a shoutout to supplying an array of coffee brands!!! There are also a good amount of places to eat in the area and the owner provides a really detailed binder of this. The grocery store in town is stocked with everything you'd need.

Small local hotel near the Laura Ingalls Wilder sites. Very clean. Beds seemed firm at first but were actually comfy. It is a older property so some wear and tear was expected. Great parking.

Terrible customer service before check-in

We received multiple calls from Oyo before arriving, while driving. One call we could not hear and we asked them to call us back. They didn't. This caused concern that something was wrong with our reservation so we called back, but it went to a general Oyo number. They said everything was fine and asked what time we'd be checking in.
Fast forward a couple of hours and we received a call from the motel itself. The employee (owner? manager?) said they had a customer in front of them and that if we didn’t pay over the phone immediately they would cancel our reservation because they were otherwise sold out.
I thought we'd paid & said so, & said that we'd already told the company what time we'd be arriving. He said if I didn’t pay within 5 minutes he would cancel the reservation - one that I made several months ago. I asked that he check with his company about the payment. He said to call him back in 5 minutes.
In that time I also checked my account & discovered they had already checked me in. I also chatted w/ a hotels.com representative and found out I had selected pay at check-in.
I called back and paid.
When we arrived at 10 p.m, the Vacancy sign was shining brightly and only a few rooms had cars in front of them.
The rooms are not nearly as clean & bright as they look on the website. Multiple carpet stains. Also agree w/ another reviewer about boxing in the a.c. to cover the spray foam.
Overall we slept well & the shower was good. A lid on the toilet seats would also help.

We loved it. It was exactly what we needed and what we expected.
This was a super fun mid-century motel to stay in. It reminded us of a couple of really funny, successful comedy series and of trips we took as children with our families.
They do need to make some minor improvements, like boxing in the AC in the room so the insides off the wall around the AC aren’t exposed. But really, we have no other complaints, and that issue didn’t bother us at all.
