    One overhead light centered and a corner lamp, but no lighting in the "closet" area. No full length mirror, which would be nice.

    Cozy room with 3 windows (all with screens and easy to open). AC was turned on prior to our arrival to cool the room. Fridge was larger than the typical size for motel rooms.

    It is a little out of the main part of the town. Therefore you have to drive to pick up anything you need.

    Stayed here for one night as I was travelling across the USA. This is a great little motel in Fairmont. The room was incredibly clean and quiet. Staff was very kind upon check in. Overall great for 1 night stay!

    The TP holder in the bathroom was mounted pretty close to the toilet making it a bit cramped. The room could also benefit from an exhaust fan to keep the humidity from the shower from impacting the whole room. Otherwise it was great!

    The motel was clean and quiet. I was in town for a disc golf tournament and needed a place mostly just to sleep and get cleaned up between days. This location included a large mini fridge and microwave which was excellent for keeping my stuff cold without going through a bunch of ice. The room I had (19) had a paris theme and was simple but nice for the price. It felt like staying in a friend’s spare room with an en-suite. Would definitely stay here again.

    Where Is My Prepayment?

    We stayed 3 nights at the property I paid in advance through Booking. When I arrived at the property, they confirmed my reservation but stated they had no record of my payment. So I had to pay for the three nights again, an additional $300.00 plus. I sent an inquiry to Booking about my payment and was promised an answer within 24 hours. It has now been 48 hours, and I've had no response To be fair, I use booking often. This is the only troublesome I have encountered to date. I have just booked another prepaid night with Booking. Hopefully, this will not be such an error.

    The owners were very nice. The rooms and grounds were neat and clean.

    The staff was friendly and helpful. It was after office hours when we checked in so we didn't actually meet or see anyone from the office. They did send a maintenance person over immediately when I had trouble getting the room door unlocked. The property is older, but clean, comfortable, quiet and a good value. I am happy to support the local business.

    Surprising value in a quiet location, on edge of pleasant small city in southern MN.

    Office was closed in the morning, through our departure at about 9 on Saturday morning, so no access to the various things like coffee and ice listed on inside of door to unit. Also, there was a late night snafu, with someone else unlocking and trying to enter our unit, stopped by door chain. Owner or manager had mistakenly left them the wrong key. She should have called us to apologize; instead, we called her. With all the other updates, I'd strongly suggest they simply install deadbolt locks on inside of all the units.

    Room was nicely updated with fresh paint, bathroom fixtures, a few nice decorative touches. On outskirts of Fairmont, very quiet after sundown. Comfortable bed, good lighting, nice mini-fridge and microwave in like-new condition. Surprising for the low cost of room! Central grassy area with charcoal grills and picnic tables would've worked fine for picnicking if we'd arrived earlier.

    The only complaint I have is that mine and my mom's reservations got combined and mixed up. She made hers via phone for a 4 night stay and I made mine here on bookings for a one night stay. When she went to check in they where confused as all they had registered was my name wanted to put her in my room with my SO. The only thing I can think of is that she is on my phone family plan and my name tends to show up on her number for caller ID. I feel this was ignorant with how many families do family plans for cell phone service, please don't be relying on caller ID for the name or assume and combine because of having the same last name.

    I have no complaints on our stay or the room, very homey and cozy and comfortable!

    Although this is an older single story unit that you just drive on past, I would recommend this place. It was clean, quant, comfortable and the price was right. I was surprised with how well maintained our room was and the added touches to keep it warm and cozy-great job!

    The sheets on one of our beds was still wet, after a long day in the car and the cold that was disapointing.

    Good value for a nice enough (albeit small) highway side motel. Staff was really friendly and understanding of our late arrival.
