We were traveling with our GoldenRetriever, so we had limited choices near the small town we were visiting that didn't gouge us with $75 non-refundable pet cleaning fees on top of a nightly fee. This hotel in Eden Prairie gave us quick access to the interstate so we could cover our distance back and forth in less than 30 minutes (as long as we didn't try to travel during rush hour!), and was also about that distance to Minneapolis. Although the rooms are fairly small, they were well-furnished, and appeared to be fairly new or recently remodeled. Bedding was in good shape, room was clean and had all the amenities needed to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable (i.e., microwave, fridge, coffeemaker - nice TV). We were given a room on 2nd floor (had elevator access) but next to the stairs to make trips outside with the dog quick and painless with a nice area to walk him. The morning breakfast was a nice treat! Pastries, bagels & cream cheese, toast, scrambled eggs and a meat (sausage patties/links/bacon). Waffle maker, yogurt, cereal, juice, etc. Delicious!! But what MADE breakfast the best was the amazing staff person who kept things filled, cleaned, manned the waffle station during peak times to ensure things were kept rolling! To top it off, he was as friendly, happy and polite when 'people' can be anything but in the mornings! What a treat!! All the staff we encountered were helpful and courteous. There is a small swimming pool and a hot-tub that we were not able to take advantage of, so I cannot comment on those. less
