It was okay....

The staff was nice, but if i would have seen them.on the street i wouldnhave thought they were drug addicts. They appeared to be living at the hotel and work there for their rent. Breakfast was some brwakfast sandwiches, bananas and prepackaged cereals on the counter along with bottled water, OJ and milk that was just sitting out. Th room was clean, but thats about all I can say. The room.next to me was propped open for the 2 days i was there with nothing foing on in it - messy sheets like there was no servixe on the weekend. The only reason i felt safe was because this is Wascea and what kind of criminal element would live in Waseca.

Its obviously under construction. Holes in the walls where there used to be picture hangers. Paint was partially paint and partially primer. We found a razor blade on top of our a/c unit. There was a nasty smell in the room which I think was probably flooring adhesive as the flooring was new. The bathroom was clean but badly outdated/institutional. So that's the worst stuff. Good stuff was that the beds were probably new memory foam and weren't too bad once you were in them and the sheets were clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. I can't speak on the breakfast because I never saw it. The tables were still wrapped in plastic so I dont know if they served breakfast.

The bad - During check in was told there would be no breakfast, new owners and remodeling was going to happen, no big deal for us, as we would be going to Daughters place for breakfast anyway. When we tried to enter our room card did not work, after numerous attempts we notified personnel. After numerous attempts by hotel management making a new card, battery was replaced which didn't work either. The good - we were then moved into a King bed room, a lot nicer room for the money, an awesome upgrade, management really made an effort to please us. Will stay there again and can't wait to see the upgrades they will be making.

Too expensive for what you get

This hotel would be less than $50/night anywhere else, but they take full advantage of being 1 of 2 hotels in the area by jacking up the price. (The other hotel is just as expensive and just as bad.)
