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.

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.

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.

It was a nice place. Furniture is minimal- no table to use a computer or set things down. There was one small bench. They had great beds and bedding. Not many frills but we slept well and it was quiet. Breakfast was very basic.

Hotel is nice and clean and a great location. However it is very noisy. I could hear everything happening in the other rooms around mine- from a dog barking non-stop to the conversations happing in other rooms like they were in mine.
