We have stayed at this hotel many times over the past 10 years and have found it to be homey and friendly! Probably the best location for a place that is quiet away from the interstate highways. If you stay here, go to Jakes on Clark St (just off Broadway 1/2 block) for the best pizza ever! And Trumbles just... More

I wasn't too sure about this hotel. My wife and I stayed here based on its location and positive reviews of the site. However, when we checked in, we noticed that several baseball teams were staying at the hotel for a tournament. The next day we noticed a golf team also stayed here. I really expected the hotel to be... More

Thank you so much for your comments about your stay at our hotel. The weekend you stayed we had 3 golf teams and 3 baseball teams also staying with us! I was glad to hear that your stay was relatively quiet! We have addressed the wash cloth issue immediately to ensure that this does NOT happen again and apologize that... More

We found this hotel fairly nice, but one item needs to be addressed. At the side entrances there are dozens of cigarette butts strewn on the ground. The hotel has provided units to dispose of cigarettes, but of course many people just drop them on the ground instead of using the containers. In any case the hotel should police the... More

Thank you for your recent comments about our hotel. I am taking better steps to manage the cig. butts outside the entrances. We are 100% smoke free inside, but some people decided to just throw their butts anywhere, despite having containers to put them in. More

You are not going wrong if you stay here. I have stayed here before and will stay the next time I'm in town. My room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was spotless. It had a nice flat screen TV and the beds were comfortable and I would guess fairly new. Have a Green Mill Bar and Grill across the... More

We had some hotel points to use up and Albert Lea was in the correct spot. The hotel is on the main highway going into town with a bunch of other hotels. The staff was very friendly and recommended a great place to eat. The room was typical, but clean, updated (new flat screen TV) and well maintained.The breakfast area... More

This is a privately owned Country Inn franchise. We had a one night stay in a two room suite on the second floor. This room was very quite and clean, as was the balance of the hotel. Our king bed was very comfortable. This is also one of the few hotels I have ever stayed in that I found the... More
