This motel was slightly off the main road (Hwy 53) and near a major hospital in the area. The rooms were very clean and had the basic necessities, TV (cable and lots of channels), in-room coffee maker, air conditioner or heating unit, both drive up rooms and a second floor, nice comfortable queen size bed, and an adequate serving for a continental breakfast. The motel was quiet and well insulated. The motel staff was personable and this motel also allows dogs to stay, only a $10 deposit. Our dog(s) stayed home this time. This was only $69. and quite a pleasant surprise.

This part of Minnesota, if timed correctly, hosts those breath-taking colors of the changing fall maples and hardwoods. We were lucky as the colors were changing on the range when we were there on Sept 20th, 2008. This trip, however, our photos are just imprints on our memories, but we loved it. more
