AmericInn by Wyndham Willmar

Lodging prices are expensive in this area for some reason. I chose this as most reasonable for what I needed. Generally when I stay at Americinn they’re nothing fancy but usually are clean. This was the same. No surprises. They were extremely short staffed and they kept their number of rooms available for what they could staff. Nothing fancy for breakfast but there was something to eat but nothing hot short of toast. The rooms and motel were older and worn but the beds were clean and it wasn’t the worst I’ve slept on but it wasn’t the best either by a long shot. The bathroom was clean. Tub didn’t drain good while showering and that’s always gross. Front desk staff excellent customer service. Very very nice gentleman.

Hotel is dirty and outdated. Our room smelled like animal pee. Was told they were pet friendly when the reservation was made and then charged $30 a day. Was very rude and threatened to fine us $300 for having our dogs even though they were told we had pets when the reservation was made. Stayed three nights and nothing was said about the pets till the last night. Seemed sketchy. Would not recommend this hotel at all.

The room I stayed in was so damaged that I had to request another room for the next night which was only slightly better. There was mold in the bathroom above the shower, The ceiling tiles in the bathroom were warped and not fitting properly due to water issues, The plaster on the ceiling near the outside window was starting to fall down/off.

I think who every is in charge of the motels in your Corp office should go out and stay in the motels, without letting the owners or mangers know they are from the Corp office

It's hard to go wrong with an AmericIinn - they are generally good, solid, no-frills, pleasant places for the money. Willmar is no exception. But there were a few loose ends. My internet never connected, and the TV turned on but didn't show any kind of signal. . These were minor annoyances, since I stopped for a short evening - I got in around midnight, and left around 9AM. The breakfast - which is normally excellent at AmericInns in my experience - was a problem. When I arrived, there was one little microwaved, pre-formed one-egg "omelette" and a couple of breakfast sausage patties - which were the only low-carb options (to be fair, they had plenty of cereal and waffle mix - which I love, but can't eat :(). . Clearly the front-desk guy was overworked - he was microwaving more food and bringing it into the breakfast corner while trying to check people in and out and work with the housekeeping staff. Room was small - which wasn't a problem since I spent probably an hour awake in it. If I'd have had to stay there longer, that might have been. more of a problem. It was clean! Kudos to housekeeping! It's a nice hotel. Just a few rough edges.

Great for construction workers that are on the road. Families and couples steer clear. The amenities are barely functioning (pool and hot tub are just gross) the breakfast is stale/old/reused the next day. And if you just need a place to sleep- the bed is tolerable but this is definitively not a luxury hotel.
