My kids loved the hotel. Lots of options for big families. The property is dated and desperately needs a face-lift, but it's clean and the rooms are comfortable.

We drive to Minnesota once a year. We won’t stay anywhere else. The staff is friendly and helpful, the location is quiet and within walking distance of restaurants, and it’s an easy drive to get to and from I-35. Highly recommended!
