Disappointing Stay
Came here for the pool alone for my son before surgery, only the kiddie pool was open. Asked for a refund to go to another hotel for my son to be able to swim somewhere and was told no due to it being time of check-in. The kiddie pool has poles at the end of the slide that is dangerous and the slide structure was peeling paint all over. The bathroom looked like it was only cleaned with bare minimum effort, sink and shower had hair all over and there was dirt in the corners. There was a plunger sitting in a bag at the top of the stairs the whole stay that had a smell to it as well. Ice machine was broken but a nice worker went to the event center to get some for us, about the only nice thing about our stay.

Close to Mayo Clinic. Pool was good. No hot tub. Disappointed, was one reason I booked. Take a star away for that. Bathroom sink leaking. Fixed while I was there. Just a needed update. Things happen. Everything worked out. Will stay again.

Great hotel for keeping kids occupied and their minds off Drs appointments at Mayo. Slide and hot tub are the kids favorites. Connected restaurant has great food. Beds are great, we all slept good. Rooms are outdated but we don’t really care. Only real complaint is the breakfast is one of the worst ones ever. Ran out of pancake batter, cereal options no kid would ever want, needless to say, we didn’t eat anything. But for the price, driving to get food wasn’t that big of deal! That’s a real life human review. We will be back
