“my nightmare”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

this is a bit long, sorry, but... I work an overnight shift, 12 hours long, some three day weekends. I drive an hour to work. Recently we had a heavy snow/ice event on a Sunday, and I worked Saturday night and Sunday night. I decided not to chance it an find a motel. I
booked my room Saturday evening and explained to the desk clerk my situation. I would need the room to sleep ALL DAY on Sunday. I would actually not even enter the room until Sunday morning. He said that would be fine; they weren't too busy Sunday night. I was charged $105 for the room, which was plenty. I got to sleep at 7 AM and was awakened by phone at 10:30. It was the front desk demanding that I leave or pay $15 an hour extra. They'd not gotten the message from the night staff. I explained what happened at the desk the night before and refused to leave or pay extra. Another phone call at noon, this time they threatened to call the police. Again I refused. About a half hour later a knock on the door. The Owner. I invited him in and in my undies explained what happened. He apologized but didn't offer any kind of monetary apology. Why did they not at least call the night clerk to verify? The owner said "he shoulda left a note". I promised the owner I would leave a note on Trip Advisor.

Now, about the motel: I paid $105 for a $60 room. The rack rate notice on the door said $85, for 4 people. That seems right. The room had at least 2 of those gelatin type air fresheners masking a kind of funky underlying smell. Everything was cheap. A dirty old recliner, noisy heat, you get the picture. They were the last place in the area to clear snow; none of it was moved until hours after the snow event. Lights burned out in the halls.
I have traveled some and this was the worst experience I've ever had.

Room Tip: Go a couple of blocks North

“OK”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2011

My colleague and I stayed on a Friday and Saturday night. We got to Northfield early on Friday around noon and our room was ready and we were allowed to check in early.
The hot tub/whirpool wasn't very hot but relaxing after a long day. The service from the staff was very good. I wouldn't stay for a relaxing getaway with my spouse or for a family gathering. The price was reasonable and Perkins was next door for food. The complimentary breakfast was ok not spectacular. The coffee was very weak.

“basic, budget accomodations”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2011

We stayed 2 nights while visiting St. Olaf. The room was basic and clean -- except for one long hair on the shower wall which made us wonder what else wasn't cleaned well...but we didn't SEE anything else. The room felt a bit sterile because of the stark white walls combined with the budget furniture. A softer color would have been more inviting and relaxing.

We didn't use the hot tub or pool since the hot tub looked a little in need of cleaning when we looked through the window.

There was free wifi in the rooms, and a decent continental breakfast.

The pillows and beds were not comfortable at all, however. I like a firm mattress, but these were very uncomfortable. I went to Target to buy 2 new pillows after the first night, and put up with the bed for the second night because I didn't want to pay twice as much for the Country Inn down the road.
So if you just need a room with basic accomodations and bring your own pillow, it's worth paying half the price of the other hotels in town.
