“Good hotel with a good price.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 7, 2012

Very average hotel but at a very good price. Pool, lobby, and beds are in good condition; but everything else needs serious updating. The staff were friendly and pleasant, and there were no disturbances during the night. This is the first time we were staying overnight in Winona and it depends on the availability of other hotels on whether or not we would stay again. Overall, good hotel for staying a night or two to see a football game, very well priced.

Stayed October 2012, traveled with family

“Has everything you would need”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 6, 2012

I stayed here for business, and the place has everything I could have asked for: Clean, comfortable rooms, a large pool and hot tub, a bar with cheap drinks and excellent food, good location and good conference facilities. A good free breakfast, including pancakes, waffles and french toast. There is a fridge and microwave in every room. It has several prominent businesses adjacent as well for any shopping you may need to do during your stay including Target, Mills Fleet Farm and MGM Liquor. My only complaint, and it's a minor, one was with the french dip and philly sandwiches in the restaurant. All of the other food I saw seemed to have generous portions. The big club was huge and tasty. They also have a huge bacon cheeseburger that was amazing. But for some reason, the french dip and its cousin the philly were tiny. I could have easily eaten two. They were awesome taste-wise, just too small.

“Reasonably priced. Good location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 16, 2012 via mobile

It is very clean and easonably priced. Lots of family oriented pool activity Located next to shopping. Target is right next door. There is a Walmart just a short walk away.

Breakfast is typical continental fare for a hotel. Funny little pancake maker that shoots out pancakes about the size of a quarter.

Handy place to stay if you have a student at Winona State.

Nice little pub called Brewskis right in the hotel.

Staff is very friendly and helpful

“Hard to believe this is rated as high as it is”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed August 20, 2012

I can't believe this property is rated is high as it is on Trip Advisor. We stayed there on a Saturday night and the room stunk. Dirty and worn out, it desperately needs to be remodeled. It's possible it was just the one room but I doubt it. Staff was friendly and when we complained they offered our money back so we could move to another hotel. That's what we did.

Room Tip: Avoid this one - the Holiday Inn Express is owned by the same group according to the desk person at...

“BED BUGS, STAY AWAY!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 23, 2012

We stayed here as we attended a wedding reception that was held here. The night after we left the hotel, my body started to burn & itch very bad & then all the welts started....I am horrified as I have never had contact with bed bugs before. We stayed in room 111 which is poolside. Also when using the sink....the water & drain would smell very strong of sewer smell, Was almost impossible to brush my teeth with. I contacted the manager today to inform them & she did not seem concerned (& I do not think she believed me). No apology at all from her. The rooms look ok but BEWARE!! I have spent my entire day today washing everything that we had at the hotel in hot water....hope it's good enough & that none came home with us!!
