Staff friendly and efficient. ##### Chris Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### STACY Apr 30, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Nice for the price Hotel looks like they may be in the process of painting the rooms - still tape at the top of the walls and not cleaned off outlets, so that was nice to know they're updating. Room was spacious and clean. Only down-side really was that the bed was hard and the pillows pretty flat - and only 2 of them - no extras in the room either. ##### STACY ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 20, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice big clean room.

This hotel was a very comfortable home base for us while we were visiting family. The room was large and clean and the staff members were friendly and responsive to any concerns. ##### Steph Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Aundre Jun 22, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The truth It was a nice room no cable tv and food options were limited ##### Aundre Stayed 1 night in Jun 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jun 18, 2017 Liked: Room comfort #### Good value for ann overnight stay! I booked online as an Econolodge and my GPS directed me to the wrong address-but was basically across the road from hotel. The signage for Econolodge has not been placed, so it is still called Gold Leaf. Cheerful front desk staff gal checked me in quickly and told me about restaurants nearby that offered discounts to hotel guests. I needed a couple more pillows and she took care of it immediately! A train did go by around 7pm, but no others went through. The room was safe, mostly clean and comfy, no frills, Appliances/HVAC all were in great working condition, carpet looked used, there was some hair on the bathroom floor that was most definitely not mine. Breakfast consists of a variety of bread products, cereals, condiments, juices/milk. Overall, an okay place to stay for a night. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna May 10, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent experience! My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by the room size, cleanliness, condition of the hotel and the service. We had not planned to stay at this hotel, but since we had such a good experience we would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend the hotel. The only thing that could be improved would be to expand the breakfast. ##### Donna ### 6/10 Okay #### Ron, Illinois Oct 12, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### visiting family We have stayed before. Everything was fine except two things. there is a strong cleaning chemical smell when you come in the front door. it is too strong to be pleasant. The second is the breakfast. We are not particular about breakfasts in general but this time the juice machine wasn't working, the pastries are stale, and the cereal selection was poor. ##### Ron ### 2/10 Terrible #### anne, michigan Jun 11, 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Room description was a lie Online room description stated fireplace in room, but was not there. Staff were unwilling to help when we ended up with a much smaller basic room that smelled bad. I had to eventually have Expedia intervene so that we could leave the hotel to find a more suitable place for the week ##### anne ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ronn, North Bend, OH May 20, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice time with a good and helpful staff We were treated very well and the rooms were pleasant. We had a first floor room, but any one on the 2nd had no elevator/ ##### Ronn ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairfield Inn & Suites East Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-East-Grand-Forks.h10645720.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Downtown Minneapolis by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Downtown-Minneapolis.h116673.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus The Normandy Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-The-Normandy-Inn-Suites.h21013.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Duluth](https://www.expedia.ca/Duluth-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Duluth.h11288233.Hotel-Information) > > [Quarterdeck Resort & Restaurant](https://www.expedia.ca/Brainerd-Hotels-Quarterdeck-Resort-Restaurant.h15080604.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Mall of America](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Mall-Of-America.h5679898.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand View Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Brainerd-Hotels-Grand-View-Lodge.h1857783.Hotel-Information) > > [Superior Shores](https://www.expedia.ca/Duluth-Hotels-Superior-Shores-Resort-Conference-Center.h3957433.Hotel-Information) > > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Minneapolis Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Minneapolis-Downtown.h6389369.Hotel-Information) > > [Grey Wolf Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Orr-Hotels-Grey-Wolf-Lodge.h15952550.Hotel-Information) > > [Edgewater Hotel & Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Duluth-Hotels-Edgewater-Hotel-Waterpark.h563342.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Mall of America - MSP Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Mall-Of-America-MSP-Airport.h565006.Hotel-Information) > > [Canal Park Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Duluth-Hotels-Canal-Park-Lodge.h22433.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Duluth by the Mall](https://www.expedia.ca/Duluth-Hotels-Days-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Duluth-By-The-Mall.h3779.Hotel-Information) > > [Eagle Ridge Resort at Lutsen Mountains](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Marais-Hotels-Eagle-Ridge-Resort-At-Lutsen-Mountains.h3081909.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Minneapolis / Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Minneapolis-Downtown.h9757972.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Bloomington at Mall of America, MN](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h5579.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Bloomington](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Bloomington.h1312447.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Minneapolis Downtown Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Sheraton-Minneapolis-Downtown.h18952.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Minneapolis Bloomington W](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Minneapolis-Bloomington-W.h430484.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Mall of America Minneapolis Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Mall-Of-America-Minneapolis-Airport.h14556.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Minneapolis](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Minneapolis.h22839.Hotel-Information) > > [Mystic Lake Casino Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Mystic-Lake-Casino-Hotel.h198946.Hotel-Information) > > [Econo Lodge Duluth near Miller Hill Mall](https://www.expedia.ca/Duluth-Hotels-Econo-Lodge-Duluth-Near-Miller-Hill-Mall.h1916.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Casino Hinckley](https://www.expedia.ca/Hinckley-Hotels-Grand-Casino-Hinckley.h17152897.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunrovin Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bemidji-Hotels-Dunrovin-Resort.h12626565.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Premier The Lodge on Lake Detroit](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Lakes-Hotels-Best-Western-Premier-The-Lodge-On-Lake-Detroit.h1484245.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Bloomington - Mall of America](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Bloomington-Hotel.h6851.Hotel-Information)
