I stayed here for business, and was really appalled at the condition of the room. I travel for work about 50 nights a year, and this was the worst room condition I've ever seen. The carpet had huge stains etc etc. The next time I was heading to the area on business I made a reservation, and then cancelled when... More

It's the decor of this hotel that makes it stand out from most other Best Western properties. The hotel is in a converted train depot, which makes the communial areas very unique. There is also a big locomotive right outside the hotel. Aside from that, the hotel is pretty much like any other. Check-in was fast and efficient. Parking is... More

We loved this unique hotel (former train depot) where you can still see the tracks in the ground. It was very reasonably priced for a place that close to both Minneapolis and St. Paul attractions. Yes, it is in an industrial park but who cares if it is very quiet and one has a car. It was actually cheaper than... More

With all the positive reviews of this hotel, I was expecting a better experience. Unfortunately, the rude clerk at check in marred our stay. I felt as though I was imposing on her by suggesting I wanted to check in and by asking a couple of questions. Although the hotel has character, the location does not. It's basically in an... More

We've stayed here many times. It's close to the state fairgrounds, so very handy when we have horse shows there. Clean, quiet, nice pool. Will definately stay here again! More

We needed a hotel close to my daughter's school for family weekend. This was about 10 minutes away...perfect. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. Very quiet location made for a relaxing night. The free breakfast was good and provided enough selection for what we wanted. Loved the building, especially the railroad... More

The distinctiveness of the building was a bonus at this hotel, but the pool area was chilly because it was so open. (I prefer pools that are in separate areas, not surrounded by hotel rooms.) There is a large sauna. Free breakfast was okay but the fruit was past its ripeness. Microwave available in the common area. Free popcorn! More

I loved my stay here! It wasn't the best of circumstances as it started with an underhanded cab driver who charged me $25 for a ride that should have only been $10 according to the front desk. He ended up with my cc info and security code through my own stupidity however its what happened next that pertains to this... More

The hotel lost our room block and completely messed up the shuttle service and had terrible customer service throughout the experience. Would not work with anyone but Tina, the assistant GM. DO NOT COUNT ON FOR WEDDING! Added unnecessary stress!! More

This hotel was amazing. It's a former train repair station from the late 1800's and still has old rail lines running through it. There's even an old train engine out front. The room was large and comfortable and the free breakfast had delicious Belgian waffles. The pool and pool area were very nice. I would definitely stay here again. More
