"Location Location Location."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
I always stop here on my way to St Louis from Minneapolis. It's a perfect homey room and there's two pools (1 indoor, one outdoor) and a jacuzzi. If you see this review, take this advice from me.. avoid all extra fees by searching on Google Maps and book with the hotel directly.
