“Nasty!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2006

I am not that particular when it comes to lodging for an overnight stay. All I ask is that is clean and comfortable. The Bel Aire Motor Lodge is NOT! The person at the front desk did not understand much english ,and I am not bilingual. Well, we managed. My room, while reasonably priced was disgusting. To my horror, there were dried bloody boogers on the wall in plain sight! Someone had used the TV remote holder for an ash tray. All along the wallboards and in the corners was some substance that resembled dust mixed with a sticky residue. I am not a complianer, but back to the office. The door is locked. I ring the bell, no one comes. UUgghh!! Had plans for the night so was pressed for time-went back to the room and held back my vomit.
Went to my engagement, back late. Crashed for awhile. Morning I went to the office where the had a sign free coffe and doughnuts (just wanted coffee) The office AGAIN locked. It is 9 AM. Ring bell many times. Finally a foreign woman comes to the door in pajamas and gets me coffee (not very willingly) Got the heck out of there as soon as possible. Never again!

  • Liked — not a thing
  • Disliked — terrible service, not clean
  • Tips/Secrets — be very careful when reserving a room at a small, discount motel
  • Stayed October 2005, travelled on business

“Won't stay again!”

I will not be returning to stay at the Bel Aire Motor Inn and I will be sure to tell others not to stay either. I made reservations about a month and a half before I was going to be visiting Albert Lea. They did not charge the same that they quoted over the phone, they charged more. They are using old business cards that say they take AAA, etc. They don't and haven't for over a year. The first room they gave us was full of mildew and not clean. We requested another room which wasn't a lot better. The only reason we stayed there was becuase all the other hotels were full. Needless to say, I was not impressed with their facility.

“Clean, bright, and quiet”

The Bel Aire is the best inexpensive motel I have ever stayed in; clean, quiet, and thoroughly comfortable and cheerful. The art on the walls is good (that's a rarity even in expensive motels) and the feeling of the place is that it has been cared for, not slapped together. Highly recommended.
