Clean and comfortable. The staff and community were great. What more could you want.
I stay at the Lakeview quite often to visit a relative in nursing care in Willmar. Everyone there is friendly, extremely helpful.
The cost of a room is lower than others in area. They make me feel at home .
The woman at the front desk on our first night was great she went out of her way to get us into the room since she had never had a Klarna purchase. It was a quiet establishment and housekeeping was nice
While the staff was friendly and there was daily maid service, the room was dirty overall. The bathroom fixtures were in need of repair.
In this case, it seemed like you get what you paid for. A cheap room

Great water pressure!
I could feel the springs in the mattress, but I slept pretty well. In fact I slept better than I have in “nicer” hotels with “better” mattresses.
I was very pleasantly surprised with the EXCELLENT water pressure!
The room was quiet, I slept well, and the water pressure in the shower was excellent!
I found good value in this small hotel and would happily stay here again.
The staff is friendly and very welcoming will stay again. Rooms need a bit more work when it comes to cleanliness but overall I recommend to stay with a family long or short term

Affordable
The lady at the front desk was so friendly. The room is about what you expect for the more affordable price. Some bumps and bruises, but it was a place to stay while we were in town for family events.

Staff very nice.
Light socket and fan loose. A bit musty at 1st when getting into room
There was a funky smell in the air, and the bed was way too hard. But you can't expect them to afford much on maintenance and upgrades at that low of a rate!
Decent room. I got the jacuzzi suite. It was decent. JETS didnt work quite right. Seemed like it was a good value. I met my current gf there so thats a plus.
Away from the masses. Always get same room so i cant say about rest of them. The staff was super helpful. Gave us the office remote for tv as ours wasnt working. Have stayed here a few times. Its not for everyone but resonable .
