Microtel Inn and Suites Inver Grove Heights was clean and the bed was comfortable. For that I will give it the 3 stars. The 2 were lost with me because everything was micro. I understand the rooms are small. That is part of the sell. What I was not expecting was the micro breakfast room and micro investment in sound proofing. When I checked in I needed to go looking for the clerk. When found, they were polite and efficient. They mentioned the breakfast and pointed to the lobby. Sure enough, there was a small corner counter and 4 - two person tables. When we came down the next morning there were 30 people trying to get a breakfast. We grabbed what we could and ate in the room. Not a good experience.
The second concern was the noise. I expect some in a 3 floor 63 room hotel, but wow! It was not just the noise outside. I was not prepared for the way the micro room and proximity to the air and fridge would amplify the sound. This is just me but the click and then a hum of the fridge sounds just like my alarm clock starting up at home. It was waking me up all night.
On the positive side, there was a fridge and microwave. The TV was small but it’s placement on top of the wardrobe was convenient. They have an elevator and the location was convenient in town.

was very satisfied with this hotel, best microtel I've stayed at so far, very nice and helpful staff
room was in great shape comfortable and clean room. room was worth the price. continental breakfast was more then expected, waffle's, fresh fruit, cereal, fresh rolls, juice and coffee, even a morning paper. lots of places nearby to eat. if in area again will stay at again.

Service was good. Room was quiet except for neighboring room (could hear conversation - they were talking in normal voices!, husband kept checking his phone - "No honey, that's the phone in the neighboring room, vibrating!) yucky stain on window seat - fabric didn't look like it could be washed. $25 dollar pet fee. Stay at La Quinta Inn in Bloomington when traveling with dog and toddler! The worst - they treated the lawn with chemicals but did not have a sign in the front. Our dog didn't get sick, thankfully. Breakfast was OK. Location was fine. Not a kid or pet friendly place, however!

Price was great even adding the pet fee (we were here for dogshow) it was worth every penny to stay in a clean, quiet, comfortable hotel. Staff friendly & accomodating. We had mini-suite & it was fantastic! Friends stayed at hotel a little closer to the Washington Fairgrounds, but it looked like a no-tell motel with paper thin walls according to them, & not so clean. For the simple 20 minute drive this was great! Felt quite safe in area out pottying dogs and lugging all the dog show "stuff". Continental bkfst in a.m. & coffee was good! I'd stay here in a heartbeat again & will try the Microtel if available the next time we go to an out-of-town show! Well done! No restaurant, but penty nearby and even just across parking lot. Don't know if there was a pool - we were too tired to care after competing all day.
