"Cleans rooms and affordable pricing"

AmericInn by Wyndham Mankato Event Center

10/10 Excellent

"The two folks managing the front desk that checked us in where very friendly. They were more than willing to chat and answer questions about the area and good places to eat for our visit. Much appreciated!"

Motel 6 Mankato, MN

10/10 Excellent

"Cleanest room I've ever stayed at"

Courtyard Mankato Marriott

Baymont by Wyndham Mankato

10/10 Excellent

"Very good all the way around. BUT NOT FOR HANDICAPPED PERSON"

Candlewood Suites Mankato East By Ihg

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location, clean and spacious rooms"

AmericInn by Wyndham St. Peter

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff, clean room, good breakfast"

Quality Inn & Suites Mankato East

8/10 Good

"This was the most affordable option on an overnight in Mankato. If you are looking for a high-end hotel, and you are really particular, this probably isn't the hotel for you. But if you are looking for an affordable stay, this is a good option. The room and bathroom showed decent wear, but wer both clean. The desk chair was broken when I get in my room, but I called the front desk and staff had it replaced within 2 minutes. I was hoping to be able to extend my check out time an hour or so, and they didn't let me do that, but only because they were full and needed to get the rooms turned (which they explained). The breakfast that was included was certainly sufficient and comparable to other hotels with included breakfast. The staff were curteous and kind and I was able to stay in the lobby after check out and continue to work until needing to depart. The pool and hot tub looked clean (although I didn't use them). Decent location in Mankato, near to other, more expensive hotel options."

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

8/10 Good

"Staff at the hotel was very helpful and incredibly kind. Our family enjoyed the breakfast offered and our kids loved the pool and hot tub. We would stay here again."
