“Clean, Comfortable Stay. Careful Attention to Detail.”

Fairfield Inn Mankato

4 of 5 stars
Saint Paul, MN
Jan 9, 2008
4/4 found this review helpful

I stayed in a King-sized bed room. There was an abundance of thick pillows and the mattress felt like it had never been slept on. Supportive, no lumps, sturdy. I take a tape roller with me when I travel, just to run it over the sheets and pillow cases since the thought of pressing my face into the fallen hair of strangers makes my skin crawl. After a few passes of the roller, the tape was still clean--no hair. Impressive. I felt no grit underneath my bare feet on the bathroom floor. Plenty of bathroom towels neatly stacked and also hanging on the bars. There are towels available for pool use on the main floor as well.

The breakfast area was clean and organized and well-stocked. With the exception of the immaculate pool area, the property is showing only minimal signs of wear and tear--nothing that tells me a renovation may be in order.

Nearly everything was so neat and tidy. My only complaint was the cooling/heating unit in the room. It sounded as if someone had attached a playing card to one of the blades of the fan so that it would tick-tick-tick with each revolution, like on a child's bicycle. I thought I could get used to it, but eventually I had to just shut off the fan. And when the heater started, it made a sound completely out of proportion to both its size and desired output, as if I was powering up an industrial-sized HVAC system from 1962.

Not a deal-breaker in any way, although I would've asked to stay in a different room had I required an additional night.

“Almost Fabulous”

Fairfield Inn Mankato

4 of 5 stars
Dubuque, Iowa

3/3 found this review helpful

Due to a snowstorm that blanketed our entire route from Gustavus Adolphus College (in nearby St. Peter) to home in Dubuque, we stayed a night at this hotel. Great rate for the quality of the property; modern and clean, and the desk staff were very nice. We were surprised to see ten pillows in our double-queen room, and the location near River Hills Mall couldn't be beat. Breakfast was very good; a special hot item is offered each day, and sausage and egg biscuits were the item on our Sunday.

Even though two junior hockey teams were staying at the hotel, it was mostly quiet, except one person was playing a game on the hotel computer for several hours without anyone telling him to get off. Pool was small but clean. My only other problem was with the television; the channel surfing buttons didn't seem to be programmed right and skipped most of the channels. Otherwise, great hotel to be stuck in during a snowstorm.

“Great hotel and location!”

2/2 found this review helpful

Excellent hotel for a few day stopover. Front desk personnel were pleasant, the room was wonderful and clean. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Missed the breakfast so I can't comment on that. The hotel is located right next to a huge mall. There are quite a few restaurants and stores in the surrounding area that you could walk to instead of driving.
