Just spent the last two nights at this hotel. We've stayed several times in conjunction to ski races at Giants Rigde. The hotel is nice, service good. They offer both a microwave and fridge in our room. Too bad the location is so close to the trains track.

Rates are high but maybe because there was also a hockey tournament in town. If you're a light sleeper - you'll want to find somewhere else

I don't know whan I've come into a more cozy and warm feeling hotel! We walked in on the 9th of October and it was decorated so cute! Some Halloween and a lot of fall decorations in the lobby which was very inviting! A nice fireplace and big stuffed sofas and chairs welcomed us along with a lot of magazines to read.
The room was very clean and nicely furnished with just about anything you'd like; ironing board and iron easy to get to, also a microwave and refrigerator! The staff was very helpful in getting us directions into town to the American Legion where we had meetings. We were able to use our AARP rate so that was an added bonus. In the morning, we had a very nice breakfast of eggs, sausage, waffles and toast, juice, rolls etc. were offered in a nicely furnished dining area all included in our room rate! I was also able to check my email which was helpful. A very nice hotel and I would recommend it highly!

My sister and I stayed here to visit a sick relative. We have stayed here a couple years ago and agree with earlier posts that the trains are unbearable!!! However, take this hint: ask for a room on the front side of the hotel. I THINK I heard a train horn once. Having experienced a room on the back side of the hotel, believe me, I was amazed at the difference! They have also gone through some recent upgrades with new beds and bedding. Was a huge improvement over two years ago. The breakfast wasn't too bad. Not very well stocked. There were both hot and cold selections. Obviously, since they did their upgrades, they have decided that they can also raise their rates WAY too high. We paid $116 a night for a standard room. Give me a break! This is Virginia, MN - not some big city or great vacation area. My cousin, who lives in the area, said they have a new owner. Note to owners: GET OVER YOURSELVES AND LOWER YOUR RATES!! Would I stay here again? If I ever find myself in the unfortunate position to have to be in the area again, I probably would only because there is nothing better in the area, so you are stuck with paying way too much money.

This hotel is great - nice room, in room jacuzzi, swimming pool, continental breakfast ...BUT.....when you see ear plugs next to your bed (because of "train traffic") beware! The first thundering train at 10pm was quite funny - windows rattling and the nostalgic noise of the whistle ringing in your ears.....but by 2am, this is no longer funny and you have a very sleepless night ahead of you. I was not surprised when no-one on the staff asked me if I had a good stay with them. Most of the others at breakfast looked equally bleary eyed. Lovely hotel, great staff, noisy and frequent trains about 15 feet from you bed.......try to find somewehere else if you like to sleep at night.
