This is one of the best hotels we have stayed in over the last few years! My son and I stayed down in Mankato due to my son having an 8 am appointment to take his driver’s road test and I wanted to make sure that he was comfortable driving in Mankato prior to him taking his test. (We live in a town with 0 roundabouts and Mankato has a bajillion roundabouts!). I picked the Holiday Inn Express for its location close to the DMV Testing site, its proximity to many of the different roundabouts in the area, the fact that a night’s stay included breakfast and because it had a pool and hot tub. Check-in was a breeze. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and very clean. We rested in the room for about an hour and then made our way out in to Mankato to give my son ample time to get used to driving in a town with ALL the roundabouts. We had a lovely supper in the City Center area of town, did some more driving, and then made our way back to the hotel to use the hot tub and pool. This hotel literally has the BEST hot tub, it is the biggest hotel hot tub I have ever seen and was HOT! It felt so good to relax in, and when we got too hot, we had a dip in the pool. There is also a very nice kiddie pool with a fun fountain as well. The pool area was well maintained and the chlorine levels were perfect (not high like most hotel pools). The beds were super comfy and we both slept very well. In the morning we enjoyed the many wonderful options for breakfast and then checked out. Great Stay!

Normal Holiday Inn. We like to take the stairs when traveling all day. The stairways and hallways had crumbs all over. The stairways didn't look like they'd been vacuumed in weeks, if not months. There was a lagoon out back that appeared to be fed by the storm drains. The trash that accumulated here and the fishy smell were both unappealing. Other than that, our stay was fine.

The rooms were so nice. The pool could have been a little warmer. But there is everything in walking distance

Great experience, little shocked about dogs barking across the hall.

A great hotel and every staff person we came across was helpful and friendly. Always greeted us with a smile and asked if we were enjoying our stay or if there was anything we needed. A

Dirty around vent. No body wash in container in shower. Glitter on the floor. Something spilled on the front of tv stand and desk and not washed off
