As we travel to Owatonna each year for a show we have stayed in a less expensive hotel but this year we decided to upgrade to Carlson's Country Inn. Best thing we ever did! Quiet, clean, excellent breakfast and very friendly staff. We will definitely be back!

It was as if my wife and I were placed in an empty room and instructed to build the perfect motel room. We would have built the very room we stayed in in Owatonna, MN. Staff were friendly, efficient and accommodating. Pool area was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was filling with diverse food choices. Country Inn & Suites will be... More

Poor communication between staff. We got kicked out a night before we were supposed to leave town. We arrived on a Tuesday and told the front desk person that we would like to stay through Thursday (we originally booked Tuesday and Wednesday) night as well, he said that wasn't a problem and got our reservation in, pending a phone call...

I had a great stay at the Country Inn and Suites! The rooms are very clean the service was excellent! The free breakfast in the morning was a great benefit. Everything was well stocked and they had a great variety of options. I will definitely be returning to the Country Inn and Suites. Thank you for such a great stay!

My stay at the Country Inn and Suites was a very pleasant experience. They had many varieties at breakfast of what I could eat for food. And it was overall very nice. I rather enjoyed the pool and the fitness center. I'm looking forward to my next day at the Country Inn and Suites in Owatonna.

I stayed here recently for a night on business. Front desk staff were very friendly and very thorough on explanation of breakfast, services, etc. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was in good shape. I typically stay in Marriott's, and sometimes in this level of a hotel, the room leaves something to be desired. I... More

We stayed one night on our way home from the Elko/New Market area. It is a very convenient hotel located right off I-35. We checked in a little late in the evening but the receptionists were very friendly and helpful. They gave me all the information I needed including when breakfast was served the next morning. The room was neat... More

We chose to stay at another Country Inn as our stay in Baxter MN was so good. Well, it just goes to show you that chain hotels are not the same in each town. The hotel was decent enough, but the pool? The entire thing was only 3 to 3.5 feet deep and very small. For someone with a teenager,... More
