Champlin Vacations from $607

It was a nice place, however, it was not without issues. As with other reviews, upon my arrival, it had not been well cleaned. There was a random pill laying in the middle of the kitchen floor in plain sight. Thankfully, I found it before my cat did. The dryer door had to be slammed shut and popped open mid cycle. There was a broken board in the kitchen that allowed my cat to go under the cabinets and he could have gotten stuck. The front desk lady fixed it with eyelash glue temporarily while awaiting maintenance. Two 3 weeks in, maintenance never showed up. The tv in one of the bedrooms was broken. Several times, the manager threatened to make me “start all over” after being there almost long enough for the monthly discount. In the end, $4000 later, he failed to renew as promised and booked my room to someone else stating that “other people were willing to pay $250 a night” and that “ I could be downgraded to a 1 bedroom but would have to repay deposits and start back at a daily rate”. He then claimed that “when checking rooms he smelled my cats” so I couldn’t book the 1 bed. This was false. I had been there 3 weeks with no complaints. He wanted me out because I was pushing to keep my discounted rate. On top of all of that, I was overcharged several times, including on a free night. The worst thing was he failed to add Wyndham rewards to any of my nights and now I will have to fight to get those points back. .

It’s fine as a baseline motel. The place is run down, especially as compared to the neighborhood- hallway carpets were musty, but the room’s was ok. Their hospitality is also baseline… strict 10:30 checkout, etc. Minihaha falls is close, which is why I chose the spot, and there’s bus and transit a block away. It worked out, though I personally would expect a lower rate for the quality.

Great location

The staff were really cool about suggesting an extra roll away bed for my step son who accompanied me and his father on our get away, and they were really fast about delivering it to the room
