Easy Stay

Motel was clean, close to airport, and affordable.
Alexander, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was small, but very comfortable and perfect for my husband and i on our visit to see his childhood friend that lives in the area. Owners were very friendly and even gave us plastic silverware when our DoorDash forgot to send it. Very nice coffeehouse within walking distance as well.
Carrie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Basic no frills older building but clean, newly renovated with friendly helpful staff. Convenient to public transportation, airport and down town. Enjoyed the stay.
Walter, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Thank You!

Room was SPOTLESS and well-appointed, although I recommend having facial tissues available. Check-in was efficient and courteous, even though it was a late arrival time. Trickiest issue is finding the way into the property (the city's problem, not the owners').

Conveniently Located

Check in was easy and the hotel is right on the Blue line, so we could easily get to various points around the city, including the airport, with a $4 all-day pass.

Very Convenient for us as we were able to use the Metro transit for everything.
Greg, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice, undergoing construction but clean rooms, even if a little run-down. Nice staff, friendly and right next to the metro
Giulia, 1-night trip

I liked that it was quite, owners were friendly and hospitable. I liked that it was near metro station.

Would recommend to a friend

Never been to Minnesota before but stayed here so I could take the train to the mall or America and the twins game. It was clean, safe, close to the train stations, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely staying here if I end up back in the twin cities!
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

the staff were very friendly and the location is perfect for folks , who want a place near the airport. the cost was moderate. the physical layout worked out well, since I had a room on the ground floor[ worked great]. the place I modest and I did not expect a palace. 2 issues. there was no shape in the shower dispenser . also the cleaning material used on the floors, smelled like FABULOSO. I find it offensive and the ingredients are such that I would never use in my home. if they regularly refill the shampoo and change cleaner, I would have been thrilled.
Alan D., 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Basic room and amenities. Very comfortable bed and pillows!!
Daniel R, 3-night trip

great experience

This hotel is undergoing new renovations and my room was fantastic, everything new from the bathroom to the new windows, carpet and all new furniture. this was an excellent choice for my trip to Fort Snelling. walking distance to the rail transit.
LeRoy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was mostly good, It wasn't bad but few minor things should be better like don't put snow on lawn between parking lot and sidewalk as it gets muddy. Don't want to track that mud into the room
Ryan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Check in was easy, the room was nice and recently redone and clean. It's a convenient location. The exterior needs renovation, but I sense the owners care about the interior first, which is good. I felt safe at all times. It is located near the airport, local busy streets, and the light rail line, so expect some noise from those facilities.
Randy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our first impression when checking in was that we weren't sure what we were going to get. But the room was better than what we thought. It was clean suited our needs for an overnight stay. There were a few cosmetic things, but again, it was clean and that is what matters most. We would stay there again

Booked this hotel because it was close to the airport and was pleasantly surprised. The location was perfect for our trip. Metro was super convenient. Room was cleaned every day. Hotel staff was friendly. Will definitely be back.
