What guests think

Across recent reviews, Best Western Plus Willmar is praised for friendly, accommodating staff, family-friendly amenities like the indoor pool and kiddie area, convenient on-site restaurants, and a breakfast that many highlight as a strong point.

Rooms are often described as small and somewhat dated, with occasional hard mattresses or lumpy pillows and sporadic noise near doors or the pool. Many guests find the hotel clean, though a few note musty HVAC odors or isolated housekeeping oversights. Value is a recurring concern for some guests given the price, though several appreciate the convenience of attached dining. Expect a convenient stay with standout pool facilities and generally solid basics.

For the price I expected a better breakfast. Toothpaste all over the bathroom wall and artwork. Musty smell when we walked in. We stay in Minneapolis every week and we get better rooms for $50.00 less. With a nice breakfast.

The room was clean and welcoming, the front desk signed me up for the rewards and was very pleased with the offer and kindness. I had left a stuffed moose by accident and I was able to call and have someone get it. It saved a heartbreak! I would suggest items found be tagged to the room and time to be able to reach out if something could be irreplacable but not complaining just a tip would help elevate the guest experience and trust/loyalty but they did right by me! Breakfast was amazing as well! Will stay again.

We have stayed at this hotel several times each time we stay there we have respiratory issues. The HVAC units smell musty. Considering the prices of the rooms in Willmar are as high are higher then Minneapolis but you have no choice because there is no other options on places to stay.

Good stay for the price. Rooms are quite small and relatively outdated, but very clean. Pool was great for our kids and seemed well maintained. We stayed 2 nights and house keeping did not stop by our room; not a big deal but with 2 adults, 2 kids and an infant we could have used more towels and trash taken out. We would likely stay here again if in the area because of the pool and the hotel being pet friendly. There were events both nights of our stay but we hardly noticed and had no issues with noise.

I almost exclusively use Best Western, and my flagship locations are Salem OR and Yakima WA. Unfortunately the Willmar location is a tired hotel, not what you would expect for $200 which is more than any other BW I have stayed at. Lumpy pillows?? Wow, thats what I would expect from old budget motels from my past. They tried to make it nice with modern coffee makers, mini fridge and so on, but the bed, pillows, shower, hall carpet and exterior gave its age away. Their Bar and Grill ‘Ruffs’ was nice with great beer and great staff but they couldn’t do a burger right, too greasy of a bison burger, no veggies on top. The weight room and spa looked good but I didn’t check them out.
