AmericInn by Wyndham Mankato Event Center

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was nice and the property was well maintained. They did not have soap at the sink."

Hilton Garden Inn Mankato Downtown

8/10 Good

"We loved being able to walk downtown to restaurants and events. Very nice hotel. Strange key card policy for security especially cumbersome when checking out. Weird loud car Racing downtown on Friday night made it hard to talk at outdoor patios and bars. Apparently the police and city of Mankato do not have a Noise Control law?!"
