Top Minnesota State University Hotel Reviews

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."

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Mankato

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed or stay as we have in the past."
