I stay at the Lakeview quite often to visit a relative in nursing care in Willmar. Everyone there is friendly, extremely helpful.
The cost of a room is lower than others in area. They make me feel at home .
The woman at the front desk on our first night was great she went out of her way to get us into the room since she had never had a Klarna purchase. It was a quiet establishment and housekeeping was nice
The staff is friendly and very welcoming will stay again. Rooms need a bit more work when it comes to cleanliness but overall I recommend to stay with a family long or short term

Affordable
The lady at the front desk was so friendly. The room is about what you expect for the more affordable price. Some bumps and bruises, but it was a place to stay while we were in town for family events.

Great water pressure!
I could feel the springs in the mattress, but I slept pretty well. In fact I slept better than I have in “nicer” hotels with “better” mattresses.
I was very pleasantly surprised with the EXCELLENT water pressure!
The room was quiet, I slept well, and the water pressure in the shower was excellent!
I found good value in this small hotel and would happily stay here again.

Staff very nice.
Light socket and fan loose. A bit musty at 1st when getting into room
Away from the masses. Always get same room so i cant say about rest of them. The staff was super helpful. Gave us the office remote for tv as ours wasnt working. Have stayed here a few times. Its not for everyone but resonable .
Low grade hotel room. Furniture old and scraped. fridge moved out of original cabinet, hole left where fridge should have been. Tub and shower fixture at least an inch from the wall, though water pressure was good and water was hot, which is the only good thing about the room.
It was clean and modern. We had a good night's sleep.

The room smelled of smoke which we were not expecting. Looks like our room was a work in progress. Looked like a new tub. Bathroom door could use replacement but it closed all the way.

slippery bath tub. Forgot to check room between days. Mattresses slipped off base.
Garbage and new towels not done until I complained. Not easily accessible for a person using a walker. Big step into the room. More of a residential motel.
Firstly, the lady in there was so kind!!!
However, location, terrible...tv didnt work, was stuck...just so uncomfortable...you definitely get what you pay for here...
While the staff was friendly and there was daily maid service, the room was dirty overall. The bathroom fixtures were in need of repair.
In this case, it seemed like you get what you paid for. A cheap room
