Riverland Community College - Albert Lea Campus

Came in for a weekend of NFL fun with my son. We arrived a bit earlier on a Friday before check-in time, but I figured we'd walk in, drop our bags, and walk around the downtown area until our hotel room was ready. The two gentlemen at the front desk (this would have been Friday Oct 2 - I forgot their names!), were the most attentive and friendly front desk staff I've encountered at a hotel in a long time. There seemed genuinely happy to have us there and made us feel extremely welcome. They managed to get us a great room on the 4th floor right on the spot, so no need to drop bags and come back. This was a good thing, since my son and I had been on the go since 430am. That right there left an amazing impression on me. The property was clean, staff extremely friendly and accomodating, and the location was super convenient to the tram to/from airport, walking distance to bars / restaurants, and well as a 20 min walk to US Bank Stadium. The hotel also has a great onsite restaurant. There is a GREAT sportsbar right around the corner. I've been to many downtown areas in our nation's great cities, and while there are alway people walking around that may not be as fortunate as myself, I never felt unsafe. That cannot be said about other cities. I highly recommend this property and this area of downtown Minneapolis. Great time was had by all.

The location downtown is great. Staff was very nice and efficient. Room is clean and comfortable.
