    Clean room, fluffy towels, DOG FRIENDLY, good breakfast spread *kielbasa, eggs, ham, waffles,…read morebiscuits n gravy, cereal, oatmeal... secure rooms, friendly staff, big open feild for the dog to run, comfy bed, high shower head, good water pressure, good TV channel selection, fair price, up to date facility. I will be using this place again!

    The owner/management team at this Americinn sets a high standard for quality. We have some…read morerelatives that live in Long Prairie so we've stayed here several times. The rooms are very quiet, clean and scent free. The beds were firm but very comfortable. There's a nice pool that's well maintained and kept at a usable temperature. The staff was extremely nice and very efficient. The continental breakfast was a step above average. The dining area was clean and the selection of food was just right. I like that they had some great additions for children, and really aren't we all children at heart? There was a waffle making machine/station which my wife used with the help of the lady who was supervising, cleaning and restocking the area. They had a nice selection of breads and bagels with a toaster. There was also some biscuits and gray with sausage crumbles that you could add if you like. My favorite was the scrambled eggs with smoked kielbasa's on the side. There were little single serve peanut butter and jelly containers as well as butter. There was a refrigerator with fruit yogurt, milk, packages with two hard boiled eggs and for the children there was a fruit cup, apple sauce cup, Brekkies (a soft chocolate chip, oat and flax) cookie and last but not least Uncrustables. There was also single serve cereal containers ranging from mini-wheats to fruit loops. 24 hour coffee service was always spot on. All in all we had a very nice stay at a warm and friendly Inn.

    As someone who goes on retreats (attending and directing), this place is all about hospitality…read more Trust me. This place is amazing. From the moment you walk in you receive the warmth and welcome that weary people need. From Cyril to the front desk staff, you feel taken care of. The rooms are amazing for a retreat center. Yes it needs to be simple but the wood and aesthetic add to the welcome and comfortableNEss one needs on retreat. It is not austere but rather feels like a hotel in some sense...okay, more like a bed and breakfast. The views from the room are amazing. Food wise: simple and nourishing. Depending on how many folks are occupying the guesthouse can the food change...for example don't expect a full breakfast spread if there are only three retreatants. If you want an omelette head to the Ref. One thing is that the temperature in the room can't really be adjusted but that's my only gripe. But definitely always a pleasure, and always a place to rejuvenate among the nowheresness of MN.

    Aesthetically, there isn't much to attract at the St. John's Abbey Guesthouse. The architecture and…read moredecor is plain, concrete, and un-beautiful. Yet, the purpose is meant to draw you to look at your surroundings - the woods, the lake, and the beautiful campus that makes up St. John's University. Personally, I've been less than pleased with my experience here. The retreat was much less than I expected, the food wasn't too impressive, the building lacks the kind of warmth one expects to find at a retreat facility. It's not a place that I'd long to return to. However, I did take advantage of prayer with the monks at the nearby Abbey Church. I'd have to say that that was a highlight of my time here.
