What guests think

At Nichols Inn of Red Wing, many guests highlight very clean rooms, friendly, helpful staff, and a convenient location near restaurants and a short drive to Treasure Island, with a popular complimentary breakfast featuring make-your-own omelets and waffles.

Common downsides include occasional musty odors or humidity, some dated touches and firm or worn mattresses, and noise from the highway or equipment in certain rooms. Parking can feel limited and the entrance or signage may be hard to spot, and breakfast replenishment and gluten-free options are inconsistent. Overall, expect a clean, affordable, no-frills stay with friendly service and a handy base for Red Wing.

This hotel was cleaner and in better condition than most in this price range. The only thing that didn't seem clean was the cord on the hair dryer (a lot of house keepers seem to never notice that in hotel). The only negative comment I have is that the hotel smelled stale and musty in the common areas but a lot of small and mid-range places seem to.

Not pleased with our stay at all. Room smelled very musty and moldy. Carpet was so dirty my feet stuck to it. The bed was old, poor quality and rock hard. My whole body ached sleeping on it. Continental breakfast was awful. Dry poor quality pastries. Went out 3 tomes to get coffee and everytime it was empty. Told front desk 3 times it needed filling. I will never stay here again.

Friendly staff. Good breakfast overall. Milk was out of date but staff replaced once told. Room was himid at 64 degrees when we arrived. Fridge was vibrating in the wooden enclosure all night. Bed was not a queen. Shower went cold quickly. We arrived late and left early but the staff was great and it was no hassle to check in or out. Overall I would stay agin but I know what I am paying for now. A place to only sleep.

A one/night stay.. granted it was a Sat night… however $240 a night in Red Wing, Mn, is about $140 too much.. reserved a room with King bed.. had a room with two doubles… TV was the size of a postcard.. remote didn’t work in the limited TV station options. No one at the desk upon check/in until we entered the office back room. No signage to the check/in door. Full/size ironing board leaning against the wall under the open clothing rack.. Weird that this is the only hotel that came up on Hotels.com… however, we did see other “known” hotels within the area of this hotel. Wondering what this hotel is doing to be listed as the Only hotel in Red Wing?

The carpet in our room was very worn. The bed appeared pretty old and creaky. $250 per night for this quality is not warranted.

There are many good things about the nickels in in Red Wing. It is reasonable, clean, and the people who work there are very nice. Unfortunately, they manage two hotels that are right next-door to each other. And so there was often not anyone at the front desk when you come to check in or have a question because they run back-and-forth between the two hotels and you have to call a phone number. And with the front door wide open during most of the day, it’s also kind of a security issue.

Finding the hotel was a challenge. Need better markings on the road. The breakfast was good but people were confused with the egg cups in the refrigerator and one person put their egg in the waffle iron instead of the flat iron farther down the counter. They had "build your omelet", so after you poured the egg on the flat round grill, you scooped cheese, ham or sausage onto it and close the grill. It took a while to cook so people were backed up. They did have boiled eggs, yogurt, make your own waffle, breads and cereal with milk too. Accommodations were excellent. Staff wonderful.

The "free" breakfast was terrible. No fruit, including OJ. Out of yogurt. All pastries were a chocolate muffin. They even ran out of instant oatmeal! As far as I could tell, no one was looking after the breakfast offerings whatsoever. Perhaps because they were so meager, no one had to!
