The property was close to where I needed to be. Other than that it was not clean. There were socks from previous people under the bed. Screens broken, on the windows, and dirty and dusty most places. The supplied breakfast was bagged bread. The person who was at the hotel was nice, it just wasn't clean or kept up.

Very basic no frills
This motel is very basic. It offers no amenities. It needs quite a bit of maintenance and TLC but it is clean and the bed was comfortable. We needed a place to stay because we were in town for a wedding and didn’t want to make the 2+ hour trip home afterwards.

The desk clerk couldn’t find my name when I was checking in. They charged me an additional $5.71 for local taxes which they could not explain when I asked for clarification. Breakfast was a joke. Some day old rolls and lousy coffee. I would not recommend this to my worst enemy or a homeless person!

There was no one there when I came to check in. The office was locked and not a person in sight. No one answered the little speaker box on the door until about 15 min went by. By 20 minutes the staff showed up by car. There was a musty odor in the room.

The room was OK but not hot or warm water in shower for 3 days! Told attendant right away after cold shower and she said she put in a request for maintenance. No response from maintenance so took second day cold shower. Then she told me it was fixed by adjusting temp on water heater. No Change on 3rd day cold shower! This is a major issue! Also first day in asked for soap bar for handwashing and didn’t have soap in office so offered shampoo! Very disappointed in overall customer service and experience!

I can’t believe this place was recommended
Scared to go to sleep. Room door looked like it was kicked in and put back together. Bathroom door had a hole in it the size of a fist. Lamp shade had graffiti on it. Dirty. Noisy. You can hear every noise in the hotel. Was dropped off which left me stranded until the next day.

The service was not very good - check in was supposed to be at 3 and when we arrived at 3:00 p.m. they were still cleaning rooms. We finally got checked in at 3:20 p.m. The lobby was full of other people waiting to get checked in. There seemed like no real motivation to get people into their rooms.

Unfriendly front desk.
Great place, really clean. The front desk however was just unfriendly. Upon check in, she would not smile, and did not acknowledge compliments. We asked for a towel and she seemed upset that we asked, asked for a couple towels and she gave 1, and asked personal questions.

Our reservation was secured with a credit card. Yet when we checked in at approximately 9:00pm they couldnt find a payment from Expedia. Although i called prior to confirm. Sheets were paper thin. No bedding blanket, only the bedspread (which we never use) normally it is removed. All rooms were booked in area of Baxter, Nisswa or we would of left immediately. P People were out drinking by garbage and a table. We just left. No dispute, just said it was unclean too dirty. Cost was $300.00 and stayed 1 night. We have family in the area.
