We stay in Albert Lea occasionally and I’d consider this the best option. The value is excellent. Super convenient to I90 and I35, the water pressure in the shower is great and the breakfast is solid. Even if the room faces the interstate it’s not loud. Oh, and black-out, motorized window shades are a nice touch.

I guy that checked us in could only find 1 of the 2 reservations. Charged both rooms to my credit card, when we told him the second room was going to be paid for on a separate credit card by the person, I reserved the room for and this all happened on Friday, and it took them until Sunday morning at checkout to get it all straightened out....and the extra charges didn't come off my card until Monday.
