This is our #1 favorite place to stop for fast layovers on our way home to northern Minnesota from winter escapes down south. It's the nicest, cleanest, friendliest hotel you'll find anywhere, let alone conveniently near I-35.

We stay in Albert Lea occasionally and I’d consider this the best option. The value is excellent. Super convenient to I90 and I35, the water pressure in the shower is great and the breakfast is solid. Even if the room faces the interstate it’s not loud. Oh, and black-out, motorized window shades are a nice touch.

Clean & comfortable room and the best water pressure in a shower I think we have ever experienced in a hotel room! As a family of 4 with 2 adult children we LOVE that this particular Best Western Plus location offers rooms with 3 beds! Everyone sleeps much more comfortably!!!

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Didn't feel very welcoming from the front desk staff. TV access in room was confusing and a call to the front desk proved that i had a reason to be confused...so were they. Then breakfast, albeit free, was gross. Items were empty and instead of staff managing the food containers, she was simply standing and talking to the front desk. Then acted annoyed when it needed to be managed. Just not that great of a stay.
