“Plenty of other places nearby. Choose one of them.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2009
4
people found this review helpful

We stayed here recently for a wedding. Given a choice, I would have stayed at any of the other places nearby and there are plenty of them.

Problems began even before we arrived at the hotel. Depending on which of the front desk staff you reach by telephone, you either need to phone weeks ahead or the morning of your arrival if you want an adjoining room. In addition, certain staff members can be rather sarcastic in their responses to simple queries over the telephone.

The carpet in our room was nasty. It felt wet, even though it wasn't.

The blankets and sheets on the bed weren't all appropriately sized for the king-sized bed we had. The blanket must have been from a queen sized bed because it didn't even reach to the sides of the bed. The sheet wasn't much bigger.

All the linens, with the exception of two towels, were threadbare and worn. The mirror in the bathroom was cracked.

One of the doors that bypasses the lobby doesn't lock, even though the signs on the door imply that it is locked at all hours.

The breakfast buffet was merely OK. I've eaten plenty of powdered eggs without complaint in the past, but these were by far the worst powdered eggs I've ever eaten. They not only had a distinctly awful texture I can only describe as "too smooth" but they had something of a chemical aftertaste. There is a shortage of fruit as the fruit bowls aren't restocked very regularly. Otherwise, the rest of the buffet seems to be edible. The dirty dishes referenced by one reviewer have been replaced by styrofoam and plastic. Unfortunately, this means more trash and the trash bins aren't emptied as quickly as they are filled.

There are mosaics in the hallway floor tiles that are cracked and broken, showing a lack of interest in continued maintenance of the property. The broken side door lock looks like it's held on with an entire tube of silicone caulk.

The electronic key system is an almost complete disaster. While we were waiting to check-in, someone else was getting a replacement key to their room as they were locked out. The woman working the front desk said, "Can you please bring the other keys back when you're done. We don't have many that work." My key must have been one of those that didn't work. I would routinely insert and reinsert the key ten or twenty times before the door would open. My sister, staying in an adjoining room, had the same problem. My wife's key worked a bit better; it opened the door one out of every five insertions.

They charged those attending the wedding a "discount" rate of $75/night. That's about $40 more than the room is worth.

Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.

We have worked hard to address these concerns and are pleased to report we have installed a new electronic lock on the doorway. Our breakfast attendants have been food service certified by the state of Minnesota so that they are monitoring the quality of all breakfast items served continually. We have since purchased all new linens to improve the quality of our guests sleep experience.

Great place to stay, Don't pass this one up

“Noisy!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 February 2008

people found this review helpful

This was the noisiest place I have stayed in years! Which is ironic as they claim to be among the quietest places to stay. Kids were running all over late into the evening/early into the next morning, drunk teenagers shouting at 2:30 in the morning in the hall outside my room. I compained two nights in a row....no use at all. Nothing was done. On Saturday night, there were kids sitting in front of my door at 2:30AM talking! I was totally exhausted. Breakfast was gross..I think they are powdered eggs. We gave up eating there and went to the Denny's. Room was marginally clean...the rug needs a really thorough vacuuming.

Stayed February 2007

There was a wedding party staying here that night and we have found that if we group the wedding guests together they are not noticed by other guests.

“Hotel ok but beds awful”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 February 2008

people found this review helpful

The hotel is so-so, fairly clean although the first floor smelled of cigarette smoke. I had a nonsmoking floor and it was fine, and the room wasperfunctory but fine also, but the bed was awful. I could feel the springs poking through and the bed was hard and totally unforgiving. Since I was in the Twin Cities getting treatments for back and disc problems, the bed made my night hellish. No excuse for a big namwe hotel to have such bad beds!

  • Liked — Clean and convenient to my appointments and shopping but Brooklyn Center isnt the best area.
  • Disliked — THe bed was HORRIBLE!

Service here was unbelievable. Stayed here for 10 days for sporting commitments, and it felt like home. Paid very low rates and expected very little, but rooms were excellent, breakfast was plentiful and fresh. Staff were onhand 24hrs and were always happy to assist. Complimentary food was onhand throughout the day, fresh cookies, chilli and beans....Place just had a really warm feel about it. Hot tub and sauna sweetened it all. No hesitations in recommending this place.

  • Liked — Service was 2nd to none.
  • Disliked — No fridge.
