Since we never stayed here before we were a bit concerned driving into the parking lot and the outside appearance. Checking in was smooth and we were pleasantly surprised that the room was very adequate and our stay turned out just fine.

Definitely has to be better options in this town. Building is worn down, outside door are not secure, my room was very dirty. Keys did not work the first time. Looks like they might be renovating some rooms. My advice close down until you get a few room renovated.

the curtains did not cover the window all the way - there was about a 3-inch gap. did not seem very clean - no tissue in the room - at 7 AM I went for the free breakfast, and nothing was set out to eat - went back to my room and left. the charge online was about $87 - but the invoice at the hotel showed a charge of $66 - why such a difference????

Property is worn down, not clean, not maintained. Building stinks like mildew. Must have been a recent water leak because hallways had trash cans trying to catch water. Courtyard is a complete disaster. Staff was friendly. Wouldn't stay again

Nothing like pictures online. Not clean. Low on towels. They do not serve breakfast. They will tell you they are going to tomorrow though. Oh and when they send you across the street to get breakfast from their "sister hotel"... - while that alone is awkward enough- you wont get it. The guy across the street will let you know they do not allow that, ever. So im not sure why they keep sending people over there. There were a few workers who were helpful, I wish I had gotten their names, but people at the desk..no. They made you feel like an inconvenience.

It was ok. Tub didn't drain. Dining room was dark. Groceries (milk, juice, English muffins, etc) in the dining area were on the counter in grocery bags and not refrigerated. Limited food. Smoky smelling halls.

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at the Quality Inn and Suites in Albert Lea. The rooms were both affordable and top-notch in quality, and I was impressed by how clean everything was. But the real standout was the amazing food and impeccable service at the hotel's restaurant. If you're looking for a comfortable stay with delicious dining options, this place comes highly recommended from me.

Place was dirty and smelled bad. the stench in the hallways was horrible! Advertised free breakfast and when we asked the response was there was none because no one bought supplies. Our room still had the bag of water in the ice bucket from the previous occupant. Coffee pot in room but no cups to use it. Horrible place: never again!
