AmericInn by Wyndham Mankato Event Center

8/10 Good

"Excellent location on Mankato, almost next to MNSU! Nearby restaurants and stores within walking distance. Clean, spacious rooms. Great free breakfast was a bonus. Lots of free parking. Would stay again!"

Hotel Alexander

10/10 Excellent

"This was the cutest little boutique hotel we have stayed in! It was clean, and perfectly located downtown to everything Mankato Marathon related- the expo, bus stop to the start line, and the finish line. We loved the mid-century vibe and minimalist design. There was a cute little mini fridge in our room and a microwave in the communal coffee bar area. This was absolutely perfect for bringing all my pre and post-race food. They have coffee and tea available 24/7, and there were two little breakfast boxes (dairy yogurt, banana, clif bar, grape juice) in our room fridge. We highly recommend this hotel if you’re traveling to Mankato. Even though I don’t really want to run that half-marathon course again, I would actually consider it just to take a little weekend trip to Mankato next fall."

Mankato Getaway w/ Game Room & Salt Water Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this location for our girls weekend. It was spacious, clean with lots of fun amenities. The hot tub was a highlight despite the warm weather. Check in and out were easy. Enjoyed visiting all Mankato has to offer - Tune Time, Lakota Made, Nolabelle and River Rock Coffee were our faves."
