Kiester

"My Business partner and I had a wedding close by and decided to drive down the night before. There were no hotels close by and we were desperate for something closer. We are Gypsy Hair Guru, a traveling hair and makeup team that specializes in weddings. Urstad accomadated our late arrival and our early departure. I told them not to worry about breakfast because we were leaving at 6:30am and they still brewed fresh coffee and put out a delicious blueberry muffin bread that was amazing. Thank you...

Diamond Jo Casino & Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything was good."

The Yellow Lakeside Cottage - Albert Lea, MN

10/10 Excellent

"Nice property for weekend getaway. There is a great view of the lake from the patio. The public beach is just down the road from the house. Albert Lea has several local diners, ice cream shop, farmers market and various shops to visit. Diamond Jo Casino is just down the freeway if you like. The lake house has what you might need - comfortable beds, 2 bathrooms, kitchen includes toaster, coffee maker, dishes and utensils. As someone else mentioned, not sure why they require 1500 deposit or the insurance for cleaning or damages. Otherwise, this was exactly what we were looking for "

The dollar house

8/10 Good

"We stayed here for a baseball tournament for one of our sons and it was a great place for the price. We had a little hiccup with getting in (we didn’t receive the email with the check-in code and had to call the host but it was quickly resolved). We had everything that we needed and it worked for us. We ended up leaving a day early because we didn’t need to stay for the tournament but it would have been great otherwise.One thing to note is that laundry machines aren’t free for use. We had to go out to get quarters from a store to do our baseball uniform wash-up, which is different from other rentals where we have stayed. Not a big deal, but helpful to plan before you go. Thanks for a good stay!"

Howard Johnson By Wyndham-Albert Lea, MN

8/10 Good

"The hotel had just opened under Howard Johnsons, room was nice but soap dispenser was leaking on counter and on to bathroom floor. I let them know, I'm sure it has been fixed. I also had to call for towels, but had a set in minutes. I think my problem Saturday night was with Expedia and not hotel. Hotel would not honor reservation, Expedia said management would not answer and could not reverse payment for room they sold me until Monday after they made final determination, it was not in my favor. Even if it was the hotel, Expedia took my money for a room they couldn't provide. Hotel sold me a room but would not honor my attempted booking through Expedia. The front desk told me I was the 4th or 5th one that night and they didn't know why Expedia was marketing their rooms. It appears contracts aren't enforceable or agreed upon with new name. I feel Expedia should have atleast refunded my no cancelation booking if they are unable to force hotel to honor agreement or didn't have an agreement. Expedia said I should have purchased insurance. I can imagine a lot of reasons for not making it to my hotel or even the hotel unable to accommodate due to issues other than their relationship with Expedia, and can afford an unavoidable loss of this level. Even the insurance shouldn't pay for poor management regardless of where this everyday transaction failed. Expedia sold room as Howard Johnsons (it was) but refers to it as Motel 6 in their communications regarding this review."
