We walked to a nearby Red Lobster for dinner...the food was fantastic and service exceptional!
I spent Friday and Saturday at the Hilton and it was an amazing experience in fact I went to pay for the broken corkscrew upon check out and just advised that they should upgrade and they wouldn't take my money! I will stay at the Hilton again!
The city is beautiful and quaint. I hope to come back some time during the summer months to enjoy the amenities outside. Good food and very welcoming people.
Great restaurant is Number 4 American Bar & Grill.
The city has some great parks, hiking trails, and Mount Kato offers a fun place to go skiing.
The only reason we go to Mankato is to our doctor otherwise we would never frequent that city.
