I last stayed this hotel in 1985 when it was the Albert Lea Inn. I decided to try the newly minted Knights Inn version of this hotel. I wa surprised to see new granite flooring, new lobby, great pool and hot tub, fast reliable wifi (I don't know why so many properties don't seem to care enough to make their wifi work well) and fast courteous front desk staff.

The complimentary breakfast was a real breakfast. I opted to upgrade from one of their standard free breakfast choices to a sausage and cheese omelette for another $2. Delicious.

Albert Lea isn't a four star hotel town. But for the price I was surprised at the quality of this property.

We stopped here overnight to take a break from driving, and it was wonderful! The people at the front desk were extremely helpful and very pleasant. The rooms were as clean as every other hotel out there. As other reviewers have said, it does give the feeling that it was once a higher quality place, but it still holds strong today with an amazing pool, an on site restaurant, and many amenities that other high quality hotels have (fitness room, sauna, hot tub, complimentary breakfast).

The only large complaint I have is the shower. The water in the morning is very unpredictable. If someone flushes a toilet in the building it gets hot, and if someone turns on hot water, it becomes cold.

At the moment, they are also in the middle of remodeling, but it is barley noticeable. If anything, this should indicate that the hotel will be even better in the near future.

If you can get past the yellow exterior color of the building, you will find that this hotel offers just as much, if not more, than other mainstream hotels.

It appears well-worn today. It does offer a decent breakfast/restaurant.

This one remains on Wyndham register, but one wonders how long.

Staff was great! Breakfast wasn't, but pool is awesome.You can tell it was classy at one time and some of the furniture is really beautiful.
