I stay at the Lakeview quite often to visit a relative in nursing care in Willmar. Everyone there is friendly, extremely helpful. The cost of a room is lower than others in area. They make me feel at home .

There was a funky smell in the air, and the bed was way too hard. But you can't expect them to afford much on maintenance and upgrades at that low of a rate!

While the staff was friendly and there was daily maid service, the room was dirty overall. The bathroom fixtures were in need of repair. In this case, it seemed like you get what you paid for. A cheap room

First room smelled liked poop. They were not happy to move us. Stairs were metal and felt shaky. Next morning went to have breakfast and there is none. Supposedly since Covid yet all sites where they are featured show free continental breakfast. Phone blinks off and on intermittently at all times. Breaking point was finding roach on bathtub second night. Next morning microwave, fridge, and tv stopped working. DO NOT Recommend.

Great water pressure!

I could feel the springs in the mattress, but I slept pretty well. In fact I slept better than I have in “nicer” hotels with “better” mattresses. I was very pleasantly surprised with the EXCELLENT water pressure! The room was quiet, I slept well, and the water pressure in the shower was excellent! I found good value in this small hotel and would happily stay here again.
