Nice Location

Nice updated boutique hotel. The room met our price point for the weekend and was in a great location downtown and close to the civic center. Only complaint is no microwave.

Bed was a little hard. Rooms were very spacious, tall ceilings (10ft) Bathroom was big and newly renovated. Complimentary breakfast wasn’t much to talk about. Otherwise the staff was nice, checkin was a breeze. Will stay again if I ever go to Mankato again.

Minor challenge for front desk person to keep services in morning breakfast area stocked(water for coffee supplied) due to multiple responsibilities for her. The hotel was near capacity due to concert the 7th, she was very pleasant only needed a few more assistance to do it all

We’re extremely disappointed with the bare necessities offered for the price of the room. We’ve paid over $300 for many rooms but none wanting some kind of decor as much as this place. There isn’t even a full length mirror or makeup mirror in the room. We won’t be returning here.

It was anticlamactic

Hotel was cool looking but being able to check in without having to go to front desk seems cool and all but staff when I did see them were not friendly at all. Continental breakfast was an hour and a half late, and when I wanted a coke from the lobby there was no one to assist me. Also bathtub had a sort of Dewey smell to it when draining.

Carla

Disliked: Staff & service
Property is minimally staffed. To check in we had to call a phone number, even tho we had access codes. No one answered. We proceeded to our room using the codes given. Went out to dinner and two hours later someone called back to "check us in". The next morning we went to breakfast, came back and the front door code no longer worked. However now the hotel was staffed. We were let in and given a new code. Then our room door code no longer worked. Back to the desk and we were told we'd been a "no show" so our codes were cancelled. I explained we were there last night and the call to check in situation. She wanted the name of the person, which I had no idea. She gave us new door codes again. None of them worked. I tried the original door codes given in the original confirmation and those worked... The second and final night there, a group of ppl were partying in the breakfast area at the end of the hall. That kept us up until after 3 am. The hotel wouldn't know that was going on, as it was again not staffed that evening. The hotel interior itself is nice, new and clean. The room was really dark, painted a deep green color including the ceiling and there was one very small window. The building is old and has a lot of creaks and noises as old buildings do. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was large and well done. Overall it was clean. The thermostat didnt seem to do anything. Always reading 64.5 degress but it was definitely not that cold. And quality TP would be good.

Had a good experience here. Was far enough away from the heart of party central, but close enough to walk to and have a good time. We would definitely stay here again.

A must stay

The location is fantastic. The hotel is so clean, quiet and well lit. I appreciated the digital messaging from staff and digital check in, made it convenient. The design is hip and very well thought out, i.e. shower! The bed and bedding was very very comfortable.
