    I had a wonderful experience at the Best Western Plus in Albert Lea, Minnesota. General Manager Amy…read moreLuna is clearly doing an outstanding job creating a positive, professional, and welcoming environment for both guests and staff. Her emotional intelligence and leadership style are evident throughout the hotel, and it shows in the atmosphere the moment you walk in. The property is well-managed, organized, and operates with a strong sense of teamwork and positivity. Amy's ability to positively influence the people around her creates an enjoyable experience for guests while also fostering what appears to be a supportive workplace culture for employees. It is refreshing to see leadership that genuinely cares about people and service quality. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling through the area.

The pool looked nice though I didn't have time for a dip. The AC was powerful and the room was decorated with black out blinds that were printed with a canoe - functional and very Minnesota! Breakfast was a bit cramped in the front lobby in the morning and the elevator was a bit outdated but beyond that I had a great stay! If you are stopping here I also recommend getting off a few exits west and driving through town. They have a beautiful lake and some good restaurant options outside of the typical chains over by the hotels.

    Checked in on Tuesday night. No greeting at all from front desk clerk. Didn't even look at us and…read morethen asks "name?" Not friendly at all. Not someone you want at the front desk. After 12 hour drive want a nice hot shower and bed. Turn on shower and dead fly comes floating by. Then toilet was never cleaned! Inside was gross! Dirt and hair in corner of floor by shower. Dirty used Kleenex, hair and dirt under counter in sink. So gross! Beds were made and there were clean towels. I didn't even sleep on sheets because I didn't know if they were actually clean. See pics. Will never stay there again! Also, never came to clean room or bring more clean towels.

    I am a Hilton traveler but in this case I needed something close to a job site so we booked here…read more Upon arriving there is plenty of lit parking and it is right off the highway. I arrived on a Tuesday at 2pm and they had a room ready for me in the 1st floor. I was greeted at the front desk and told about the free breakfast. My room was clean. The bathroom was good as well as the bedroom and the bed was very comfortable. The pillows also were fluffy and the room smelled clean. The room has a big selection of tv channels and the WiFi was easy to connect to. Being on the 1st floor I thought it might be noisy but it was extremely quiet. The breakfast had a good variety of options and I would say it is just as good if not better than some Hampton inn breakfasts. I would recommend staying here, would go back.

    Motels will always be there for us to have sex in. And that's a comfortinn thought…read more I stayed at this Comfort Inn twice but one of them was a long time ago and for some reason I think it was called something else. Now that it's the Comfort Inn I can tell you that it's a pretty standard and relaxing and enjoyable place to stay which is a little pricey if you pay upon driving up here but if you find the place online you can save more than half of your money by doing it that way. It's the main option for you here in this big truck stop plaza with Petro and Skol Tavern and Iron Skillet, and all the other stuff here in Albert Lea Minnesota which is a little bit south of Minneapolis but just north of the Iowa border.

    Sorry to say this 'Comfort Inn' in Albert Lea is one of the dirtiest 'Choice Hotels' we have ever…read morestayed in. Positives: Comfy bed; bathroom(except air register) & tub were clean & shower worked great; Good sized room. Negatives: Air vents are dirty and particles were flying out of the bathroom register; rug was not clean around the edges of room; coffee machine was not cleaned - used coffee pod was inside; gross ice machine - could see via pic how dirty the entire front of machine is. To be very honest, the employees at this hotel did not seem customer focused nor motivated. Not your usual 'Choice Hotels' run business. I am a Gold member and if this were my first stay at a 'Choice Hotel', it would have been my last.

    I think this hotel exemplifies what 3 stars means in a hotel. On the positive side, it was clean,…read moreaffordable and very near I-90 and several amenities like a gas station, applebees and a Hy-Vee. On the negative side, it's dated, the breakfast was lack luster (few healthy options), our HVAC was loud and ran all night, plus the walls were a bit thin. Our room was clean, and the pool was fun for the kids, so staying here two nights for a hockey tournament was ideal - especially for the price. It has free wifi, and a laundry facility if you need it... The staff was great, and I was really surprised to see Tesla charging stations in the parking lot. If you are looking for a reasonably priced hotel and you don't need a ton of amenities, this will work.

    My husband and I usually like AmericInn but not this one. We arrived early and the desk clerk was…read morevery accommodating in getting us a room before checkin. She is the only reason I am not giving this place one star. That part was impressive but the rest was not. The room was not clean: bottle cap left on the floor, stained mattress, thick dust on everything (I could write my name in the dust on every surface), hair in the sink, mirror smudged, and room smelled awful. We had to open the windows to try to get some fresh air in. Lighting was dim, hallway nearly dark. The foot of the bed was strangely higher than the head. Only amenities were shampoo and conditioner. Hotel is in need of updating. Breakfast was very skimpy, mostly just breakfast food, biscuits and gravy or waffles with only syrup. No bagels or pastries. Only fruit was two small sickly looking apples.

    I've never wanted to give a place zero stars as much as I wish I could give this place zero stars…read more Absolute worst accommodations I've ever experienced in my life; we contemplated leaving and would have slept in our car had we felt it was safe to do so. They gave us 1 towel for 3 people, and it had a huge gaping hole in it, and didn't even appear to be cleaned (see attached photo to see for yourself what I'm talking about). We thought it was a joke, like a hidden camera show. The beds were dirty- they had been made, but the sheets were not clean. There was lots of what looked to be bright pink paint chips (maybe nail polish? No idea). There was a half used bottle of shampoo in the bathroom. And worst of all, the room absolutely REEKED of heavy smoking even though I reserved and paid for a non-smoking room. I have allergies, as well as a young child, and it was horrid having to breathe it in. When we informed the person at the front desk, she came and sprayed with a disgusting aerosol air freshener that only added more toxic chemicals to the air in a sad attempt to mask the odor. It literally impaired our health to stay here, and I do not understand how they are able to charge money for this filth. I am fairly certain it would not pass code, and I think the health inspector needs to shut this place down. We travel often and sometimes stay at more budget style places while on extended road trips such as this, and NOTHING has ever been as bad as this place. Even hostels in our college years were better than this. We knew it was a budget, no frills place, but we were expecting the basics: clean air, clean sheets, a towel for each person. This place is what nightmares (and horror movies) are made of.

Too bad heater doesn't work and the room was ice cold. Toilet was left unflushed so the bathrooms clearly don't get cleaned, and oh yeah you want to dry off after your ice cold shower? Hope you brought your towels. Not enough refrigerators or microwaves for every room so you may or may not get one but hey roll the dice! Pathetic excuse of a hotel
