One of the best hotel beds I have ever slept on! The mattress was like a cloud!…read moreHotel was recently renovated and is kept clean. The pool is standard size for a hotel of this size. Pool water temperature was warm and the air temperature was warm but not hot so perfect if you are watching kids play in the pool but not actually in the water. Continental breakfast had a wide variety of options: oatmeal, yogurt with granola, fruit, breakfast burrito station (cooked eggs, ham, onions, bell peppers, cheese), waffle station with cooked berries sauce and of course syrup, donuts, cereal, juices, tea and coffee. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are traveling through the area.

I could have stayed here several days. There's also a pool and hot tub that's open early to late. I was here on business but would satay here if I was just visiting Owatonna. The event staff helped ensure that the event ran smoothly. It is not a huge space but worked well for our midsize group of about 45. much larger would have been a challenge.

All of the staff we met were great, all helpful & kind! We especially loved the bartender on Friday night, she was a great time. We had a king room for the two nights we stayed and it was perfect for the weekend. The bed was comfortable - however it definitely needed a bigger comforter for two people. I ended up with the blanket while my boyfriend ended up sleeping with a lighter sheet-blanket. I especially liked the bathroom in our room! The backlit mirror was perfect for doing my makeup and hair before the wedding. The shower was also the perfect pressure and easy to use, with more than enough towels on hand - both are usually an issue when I stay at hotels. Overall - great new modern hotel! Definitely recommend if you're in the area or planning a wedding close by.

I remember well the weekend that I stayed here with my now fiance. We were looking for apartments…read morein Owatonna at the time and it was the weekend that we got blasted by a huge winter storm. All of the other reservations for that evening cancelled so when I showed up the man behind the counter had assumed that I had cancelled and told me that my reservation (and cheaper room) had been cancelled due to the weather and I would have to pay the normal room rates. Through a very frustrating phone call with Priceline, and forcing them to refax my reservation I finally got checked in, and settled would not really be the way I would put it. The room was very dated. I know that I got a great deal on it, but you could still smell the lingering scent of smoke that some of these older hotels have. The carpet, drapes, furniture, and heaters all had dust covering them. The bathroom was very dated, and while I could tell it had been cleaned it was still tinged different colors than the original tile, and the fixtures were scratched up and blackened with deposit. The old mantra goes, "You get what you pay for." I got an old smelly room that needed a good cleaning, but I paid very very little to stay there for two nights. All in all we will call it a wash. I can't have expected more for what I paid, and they can't have provided better for more.

I was looking for a cheap bed for the night and chose this property after reading reviews of the…read moreother awful establishments in town. This location was trending a bit higher than the other budget options but generally I'm happy with Super 8 when I'm looking to go cheap. There are several good things about my stay. The staff was amazing, friendly and responsive. Its clear management cares about the property and it's clean and well cared for. The downsides mostly stem from it's age. This was clearly build in late 70's and the elements that are hard to change like trim and doors and carpet still show it. They have made many updates such as paint and new furniture and artwork, but fine touches like updating outlet covers and removing popcorn texture or replacing carpeting would help alot to make it feel more modern. The rooms are SMALL, or at least mine was. Think of how small a microtel room is and go a smidge smaller. That's not a bad thing but for the price it's too small. The bed and pillows were about what I'd expect out of super 8 - not uncomfortable but nothing amazing. Updating the pillows, mattress, and bedding would go a long way to justifying the nightly rate they are charging. The other miss was no breakfast. Maybe they closed it early? I walked in at 9a or just after on a weekday and the room was dark and nothing was set out aside from coffee. All in all, it's a pleasant property and if not for the price I'd rate it higher. I paid $90 for a queen for the night and in my view that's about 20 dollars high. That said, your other options in town appear to include bed bugs and none were encountered here so that's a plus.

The half bath off our room was tiny. The shower was down the hall. This was fully disclosed, but it was ancient. Breakfast was good, but our hostess hovered over the meal. She volunteered that she is a biblical scholar and cannot bear to vote for Democrats, as they are baby killers. I told her that I was a Democrat and that I did not think I could be fairly classed as a baby killer, and was then politely informed that I would be judged by my maker on the last day. Anyhow, that made me almost as comfortable as the teddy bears.
