I have stayed at many of the hotels in Albert Lea, and the Country Inn and Suites is among the best. Rates at the Country Inn and Suites are usually $10 to $20 more than the neighboring Ramada or Albert Lea Inn. The rooms are clean and well-maintained. The pool is nice, but often filled with children. The free continental... more

We stayed at the Country Inn & Suites in Albert Lea, MN, on October 2, 2008. We were late in arriving, and did not reach the hotel until about 8:30 PM Our room was ready when we arrived, and we found it clean and comfortable. The breakfast was fine. more

I was staying here 2 nights and it was comfortable for the short stay. Friendly service, clean rooms, sufficient breakfast. I did not use pool but saw kids swimming and enjoying it. I made a mistake by booking a smoking room. It really smelled very bad even when I was not smoking. Conditioner was too strong and blowing straight to... more

We had to come into town for a wedding, and it seemed that this was the best hotel in the area. So we stayed here, and weren't a little disappointed.

In an attempt to save a vew dollars, I made the mistake of booking the Ramada next door to the Country Inn & Suites. It was the tail end of our family vacation and within 10 minutes I knew that the Ramada was a bad decision. We quickly switched our last night of vacation to the Country Inn & Suites... more

This was a wonderful hotel. It was our stopover on the way home from the Mt Rushmore area to the Chicago area. All the comforts that you expect in a Country Inn and Suites. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The pool was nice although a little small, but the girls enjoyed it. The continental breakfast was good and well... more

Very nice hotel, close to shopping, dining, and attractions. Rooms are clean but could use a bit of a facelift. Breakfast was good with a lot of variety. Nice and clean location. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Pool and spa were nice and warm on a very cold night. I've stayed at a few other hotels in Albert Lea... more
