Good Value at a great price! I have lived in this are for 24 years. I recently sold my house and needed temporary lodging. Until now, I never new this hotel existed, and did not know the owner. I stayed here for 3 nights. I have seen some old, undeserved bad reviews for this hotel. This was not my experience. Seems to me they are coming from folks with 5 star expectations traveling on a 3 star budget, or some other irrelevant agenda. This is a 3 star hotel and it met my expectations. The staff were friendly and professional. My room was cleaned, restocked and made up every day I was there. Nothing was stolen and I had an expensive laptop, prescription medicines, and a $1000 cash with me. Yes the building shows its age, but then again, it is not 5 star lodging. Everything was clean. Disappointed there was not a microwave in the room, but a community microwave next to the vending machines. I always felt safe and experienced not drama. I saw families enjoying the pool. Where else are you going to find a hotel with a pool at that price for yourself and your kids. Yes, the breakfast is kind of "spartan" but you are paying for a 3 star, not a 5 star hotel. (Take yourself or your kids out for breakfast with the money you saved) There were no "suspicious people" loitering. You will see people of different ethnic backgrounds, most shy or well-mannered and behaved. (It seems to me that worse reviews is based on racism or some kind of Rich Privilege.) Parking is free and convenient. They is a Speedy Market next door, and plenty of places that will deliver as well as many good local dining venues. I do not recall seeing this location come up on the local police crime blotters, nor in the local papers, nor at Wright County Board Meetings. This hotel is located across the street from where the Wright County Republicans hold their monthly meetings. My philosophy on hotels is why pay $200 for a night when you are likely only going to be in the room for 10 hours. 1 hour before bed, 8 hours of sleep, & 1 hour to get ready to get on the road for your work and/or vacation Itinerary. Save that money to spend on your family and kids. If you must cajole family, put to them like this, "do we want to stay someplace cheaper tonight, so we can go do "something they really want to do" tomorrow. Use it as the opportunity to teach them the value of a dollar. "Truly Rich people don't need to prove they are rich by buying expensive things, only "wanna be rich" folks spend money to impress others. Rich people usually got rich being frugal.) Also, this lodging is owned by an Asian American Woman trying to live the American dream. She is one of the 99% of us average Americans. Why spend your money with huge hotel/motel corporations who use their money against the 99% of us to advance the evil Progressive Globalist Agenda. The 99% of us Americans need to back our fellow Americans, not the 1% who own/work for the Mega Corporations. If you want a cheap, but adequate place to stay in Buffalo, MN, USA, I recommend going here.
