I live in MN and my friend stayed here so the review is based on spending time here although I did not sleep over. My friend booked this through hotwire and got a $50+ deal which was awesome. I spent at least 4 days hanging out all day at this hotel so the review is legitimate.
Pros:
-Across the street from movie theatre (Carmike Oakdale)
-Close to Woodbury neighborhood that is considered an upscale suburban area (convenient for restaurant and shopping and has an Aveda juut salon and spa).
-MOA is not too far away.
-Jacuzzi looked clean
-Breakfast apparently is decent and they have free coffee all day.
-King bed was comfy
-Overall room was clean
-Next to gas station and convenience store
Cons
-Room was not cleaned one day and it took 15 mins for front desk to tell us that the manager could not be found anywhere. The manager did not show up but instead my friend got moved over to a new room where the room was clean. Management not that great but is typical for a Best western? However, it was not a big deal for my easygoing friend. Still MN BW is has way better serv than the Montery CA BW, if you ask me.
-Tiny gym
-The juice machine was kept locked up. Why not offer complimentary juice/yogurt all day?
-Bottle green curtains? Ewww...Also room was not dark enough.
-Keep in mind you will need a car in this area as buses don't go there.
- Best Western Oakdale
