Courtyard

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 05 Sep 2011 rated 10 out of 10.

I loved the hotel. Attractive lobby. Helpful staff. High points are the large, spacious rooms with comfortable beds, good lighting, and adequate outlets. Low points were slow internet connection and forgettable food in restaurant-I had the Walleye fillet and was expecting better from a Minnesota restaurant.

Positives: Great value. Large, comfortable room. Attractive lobby. Friendly, helpful staff.

Negatives: Slow internet. Food quality needs to be a little better for the price charged.

The beds were comfortable, but could have used larger mattress pads (pad seemed to roll or bunch up under sheets). Had whirlpool in room which was fairly quiet & roomy enough for 2. Nice horizontal window shades with additional room darkening pull down shade which kept out early morning light. Staff very pleasant - bartender even opened few minutes early for us!

Positives: Front desk staff very pleasant & helpful, and

Negatives: Shower needed larger or additional shelves for toiletries; counter space around sink too small.

The staff was more than accommodating, the restaurant has a good variety of food choices, and the bar was a great addition. All in all they score highly in my book and when I return to Minnesota, that's where I will stay.

The hotel was very nice and a perfect location. My expectations of the whole experience were met except one thing. Staff treated us horribly. At check in they yelled at us for requesting a king bed instead of two queens. It was just a request - no need to yell!

Negatives: The staff was horrendous.
