Top Minnesota State University Hotel Reviews

AmericInn by Wyndham Mankato Event Center

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and with good amenities"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Mankato Hotel and Conference Center, MN

8/10 Good

"Our stay was wonderful. I have only one complaint...the pillows were terrible! One pillow was too flat. Two pillows was to high. There was not a just right option. If it weren't for the pillows, I would have given an excellent rating across the board. Everything besides the pillows were wonderful!"

Hotel Alexander

8/10 Good

"This hotel has potential, but there are a few issues. The best part of it is how close it was to the venue where we were attending a concert. The location could not have been better. However, the lack of a luggage rack, end tables or a microwave in the room was not great. I like the keypad for the doors. Also, I had called ahead to see if there were any gluten-free options for the breakfast that they put in the room. I was told they would take care of it, but it did not happen. Another plus – the bed was super comfortable."
