We had some technical problems at check-in, but the night manager was very polite and efficiently solved the problem for us. The room was clean and quiet, and breakfast had a variety of food options.

Free breakfast was the most limited of any hotel I have stayed in….tough finding any protein. Ceiling was peeling in the bathroom….

Thank You for taking the time to bring the breakfast comment to our attention.We are experimenting with our continental breakfast as fresh fruit and a few other items were just implemented into it. I am looking into adding more to the breakfast and balancing costs to keep your room rates lower than our competitors.

The check in process was ok, front desk was pretty friendly. The overall condition of the hotel & room was worn & dirty. Very outdated, it doesn't look like they have replaced or cleaned the carpeting since it was built. We only had a 1 night stay which was more than enough.

Not sure if you have the right place, but to say outdated when this place has all tile, marble, granite and new Hilton furniture in all the rooms I am very confused. Please let me know what you thought was outdated here.Thanks,MGMT

Pretty decent stay, staff is topnotch.
Got a room there for the pool. The pool was shut down due to maintenance, brought up our concern and they gave us a free night, once the pool is back up and running. The TV in the room didn't work, didn't complain about, as we weren't going to be using it much.

The decor was ok, it was nice having fridge & microwave in room. The matteress on bed needs to be replaced. The springs were making noise everytime you moved. Both of us were sore & hurt! I only sleep 2 hours and then sat in office chair rest of the time. My husband slept on& off until he got sore. The breakfast was so so, was not kept full. The staff in the morning were not all that happy. We would not stay here again for sure. Also our cable to tv was not connected & i had to put my arm back there to screw it on. You need to keep up on customer comfort. The main you stay in hotel is to sleep. So the matteress on the bed is very important! Also the pool was not open either. I would have slept in sitting chair but there wasnt one in the room.

Can you please let me know your name and what room you stayed in? None of this makes any sense as our beds are all in very good shape and we offer a very large variety breakfast. Wondering if you reviewed the wrong property.

The staff and the owners are more then awesome! I have had so many issues when it comes to the customer service with Wyndham reservations! They have not refunded any of my deposits they have double charged me for stays and when I call the 800 number I get transferred to at least four to six different people. No one can ever answer a straight question.The staff here have been over on above helpful! If only the customer service through Wyndham rewards could take notes on how customer service should be! Overall I am above and beyond satisfied with the hotel and hotel management but very upset and unsatisfied with Wyndham rewards. Especially being almost a diamond member due to traveling all summer and having to stay in a hotel while we build a house has been very discouraging. So thank you to the super 8 motel in Monticello Minnesota for having great customer service!

We went in the room and it smelled moldy had to go to the store and get spray. The lady at the front desk was rude like we were a pain to her. She was outside smoking and had to put her smoke out to help.Wont stay there again. There was a restaurant close(chatters) that we went to great food atmosphere and people. When we went in there they welcomed us and we had fun. As far as rating the motel.....NO never again

A nice surprise
I followed some reviews that said it was really clean, and we weren't disappointed. For being a Super 8, it was a pleasant surprise that it was so clean and freshened up on the inside. The outside still doesn't look like much, but don't let that fool you. The new owner is doing a great job on refinishing, freshening, and updating the insides. I mentioned one minor issue to the front desk clerk, and she was quick to take note of something that needed to be addressed. And the price was great, too!!

We had a good sleep. Place is quiet and situated in a convenient place in front of a restaurant and gas with convenience store, but not in a busy area. Receptionist was friendly and funny enough and seemed apologetic for her boss that the pool was out of order. Beds were fine. Cons: no elevator and we had loads to bring up. No wifi. Pool at the time was out of order. No breakfast meat of any kind, so I suggest that they should at least have eggs, and choco mix powder. Despite all that, I would still come back for the peaceful night.

SANITATION NEEDED MOLD/MILDEW SMELL BAD!
Sanitation Urgently Needed! The room had a horrible smell of mold & mildew. No matter what we did, I opened the window, had the fan on high ,would take that horrible smell out of the room. I stayed here 8 years ago for a bowling tournament and it was a much better experience. We only chose this hotel based on my past experience. Breakfast was very disappointing, 1 single waffle maker for a room full of guests. No other hot option to eat other than oatmeal. Last time I was here they had biscuits and gravy, hash browns, etc. We were so disappointed that we were charged such a high rate ( over $100 an evening ) to stay in such a dirty, nauseous smelling place. I did find 2 nice things while we stayed there 3 days, the front desk lady was very nice and the guy I called on the phone the next day was friendly and helpful. I felt so dirty and gross staying there. I couldn't wait to go home. We drove over 3 hours to get to this hotel just to be let down. Online it said there was a pool. That was one of the main reasons also that we chose this hotel. The pool had been shut down for repairs. That should have been mentioned online when we were making our reservation. We should have received a discount since I am an AARP member but when I asked at the front desk the lady tried but since we booked through a third party site and didn't book through the actual hotel she couldn't change the price. I do NOT recommend this hotel. The photos online are VERY deceiving.

Response from MGMT on 15 Sept 2023
If you book through a 3rd party how do you expect us to give you a discount? Also no the hotel never had hashbrowns or biscuits and gravy ever in it's history, so not sure where you came up with that. Sounds like you gave a review on the wrong place. Also if you look at our reviews we get nothing but great reviews on our cleanliness. YOU MUST BE REVIEWING THE WRONG PROPERTY. None of our rooms are like you're saying. And we are not a 5 star hotel where you get a full restaurant breakfast. We offer a larger variety than most motels at our price point. None of what you are saying makes sense.
