Two sides to every story

Hotel has 2 part, old worn out late 80s early 90s part and newer part, we were put in the 80s part (which you dont know about until you get there), spartan at best, may have been ok for a hayseed town out on the prairie but this is Minnesota's Birthplace City. Front desk was good.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Pros: The propertiy it's self was very beautiful, having a view of the bridge and water from our room made it almost magical. The help served with smiles and polietness. Our room was grand, in keeping with the period of time it represented. We ate in your resturant mulitple times and the food was always flavorful. Cons: We were dismayed at having to pay extra for hotel parking. I expected the Lobby to be somewhat grander looking, a couple of large vases with fresh flowers, an offering of a small glass of Champane etc. Very disappoined in the quality of the toilet paper/ tissues. Toilet updated to high rise for us Senior Citizens would have been grand! Overall, still pleased. Would recomend. Thank you.

More Money

They tried to charge me more money at checkin saying hotels.com didnt give them enough money when I booked. In all my years of using this service I have never encountered this. For the price we paid I was underwhelmed. The shower head was the worst.
