Everything was great except breakfast was closed 30 min early. A few of our relatives barely got food and they closed the doors at 9:30. The front desk staff had told us breakfast was served until 10:00am.

Thank You for choosing the Holiday Inn Express Inn Mankato Mn. I do apologize but breakfast does end at 930 and all the front desk staff know that. I did talk to the staff and yes, they all know it ends at 930 so not sure where the 10 am came from. I am glad to here that everything else was good for you. We sure hope to see you back sometime soon.

Hi I clean apartments for a living. The place that I work at has high standards. Well anyways I saw a lollypop out of it's wrapper. Sitting on the cabinet by the refrigerator and microwave. That was just as I was first walking in. I also found some hair on the bathroom floor when I first entered. However the staff was friendly. The breakfast was excellent.

Imam totally impressed with this hotel. I’ve traveled a lot, and it’s not often that I feel like I’d really like to stay again. Our room was in too top shape and very clean. Large a bathroom and ample amenities. And our fur baby was welcome there too! My only suggestion is to have recycling bins available. Kudos to the staff here and hotel management for running an excellent place!

Nice hotel. I would stay there again.
This is a great hotel located close to shopping, the mall, and the freeway. The Hot Tub was huge! I counted 20 people in the hot tub at one time. There were a lot of kids in the pool and hot tub area, but that was fine.

Night check in asked me who's card number the encrypted card number expedia provided belonged to. After implying I stole it several times, he was shocked that I told him to call the police. I then incurred an additional charge to be let in to my own reservation. Morning staff told me they would work with expedia to refund me, they did not. Decent hotel for the money, but man, I wouldn't recommend booking them online.
