Cons: Our fridge doesn’t work. Our carpet is messed up and peeling. The Smart TVs aren’t connected to the internet so not actually smart.
Pros: Pool seems decent. Breakfast is a really good continental, people are super friendly, and it’s a central location to reach things around the city. Super cheap stay for us too.
We didn’t alert staff about our issues with the carpet or fridge as we had already settled our stuff and didn’t want to change rooms. We had already brought a laptop so bought a cheap HDMI cable and hooked it to the TV. We also had a cooler anyway so weren’t worried about a fridge really.
I’d recommend stopping at the Cub nearby to grab some drinks and snacks. The lobby snacks are convenient but super pricy.
We really have enjoyed our stay. We’re looking to move up here from out of state but depending on the location of where we move in the Twins metro, we’ll likely stay here again if it’s convenient. Good price and happy to be here overall.
