A good budget hotel. Room was clean, and breakfast was good. They had yogurt, apples, cold cereal, waffles, omelettes, bagels, and more. The rooms do have what seemed to be a door adjoining the next room, so noise/feeling safe could be a thing for some people. My neighbour was not noisy, and there was a deadbolt and chain for the adjoining door, so it was fine for me. Not the Ritz, but good for what you pay.

All was fine. Just needed a place to sleep for a quick overnight. Rooms were clean. I didn't like that the back door where you enter was never locked.

This is a very nice, clean, safe hotel. The front staff were very friendly. One employee even carried my bags upstairs when I asked if they had an elevator (they don't have an elevator) Bed was super comfy and room was spacious. Carpet was new & very attractive, new paint. Various breakfast choices. This hotel is a great value as rooms in Willmar are surprisingly expensive. I would definitely stay here again!

Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean. Front parking lot is difficult to maneuver with a big vehicle but the owners probably can't change that.

Had a wheelchair accessible room. Room is small but was able to maneuver with my wheelchair just fine. Room was very clean. It had a minifridge with a small freezer. It was nice having a bed that I could transfer easily from my wheelchair and not need jump up into it or need assistance to get into it safely. It was pretty comfortable to sleep in as well. The biggest drawback of the room is I could not roll under the sink and it was inconvenient to lean over to use it. The hotel could fix that by cutting out the wood platform below the sink between the legs as it isn’t used or needed.

Clean comfy rooms, very quiet. Only issue was the customer entrance wouldn't open with key. But it was soon fixed after.
