Top Children's Museum of Southern Minnesota Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 Mankato, MN

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and friendly. Would definitely stay there again. Great value!"

Quality Inn & Suites Mankato East

8/10 Good

"The staff were very nice and the hotel was very clean. It was very outdated and kind of rundown. The blankets were clean, but they looked very worn and stained."

Courtyard Mankato Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"The bathroom had pubic hair & hair on the floor. It looked like it wasn’t swept"

Baymont by Wyndham Mankato

8/10 Good

"Great stay, quiet easy to get to"

AmericInn by Wyndham Mankato Event Center

10/10 Excellent

"Decent place to stay. Breakfast was good. Close to MSU campus"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Mankato Hotel and Conference Center, MN

8/10 Good

"This breaks my heart to write but I most likely will not stay here again. The staff that worked there was absolutely amazing. They were super friendly, quick to assist when needed and they are why this is a 3 star review and not a 1 star. Breakfast food was hot and good. The food and service was great at the attached restaurant as well. Now for the sad part... To whomever owns the hotel, you need to replace all of the carpeting in the hotel. Our room smelled like cat pee when you entered. Attended a reception in your event room and the carpet was black with dirt leading up to the doors."

Fairfield Inn & Suites Mankato

8/10 Good

"Nice place to stay to see my college student"

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Mankato

8/10 Good

"Easy in easy out. Room was comfortable. Shower had plenty of pressure. "

Candlewood Suites Mankato East By Ihg

8/10 Good

"Very nice clean hotel, but I was surprised with how new it was that you could here footsteps above you and noise from outside. They should have quiet hours posted also, especially if there are large parties who decide to play loud music outside on the patio at 11pm."
