Top Balaton Hotel Reviews

The Trail Inn - Slayton, MN - HWY 59

8/10 Good

"I like the simply check in process since I had been on road all day & just needed to sleep. Mattress & linens were clean & comfortable. It is a vintage roadside motel that has had a rehab to spruce things up just enough. I'm sure more rehab with new flooring (carpet had stains) & upgrade on sink area would make this a five star. As a female solo.traveler, I would appreciate a swing latch secure lock on door - existing door lock was very loose."
