Faribault Hometown Inn & Suites

Side door had sign that said it was locked and for guests only, however there was no way to lock it so anyone could enter. The front door was not monitored and usually took a few minutes to get someones attention.

I will NEVER stay here again. When I walked the front door I stood at the counter for 30 seconds before the gentleman sitting 3 feet in front of me even noticed me. It wasn't until I coughed that he looked up from his phone. The room had a dirty feel to it. The carpet seemed damp and the shower curtain had stains all of it. On top of that all I wanted to was to go sit in the hot tub which the website claimed they had. I searched around and couldn't find it. I asked the front desk and they said they didn't have one. I showed him that they advertised for it. He said that means a hot shower. WHAT?! Apparently to them saying they have a hot tub literally means a hot shower. I will make sure my friends who travel to Fairbault never stay here.

We stayed three nights. The maid staff made up our room each day. I haven’t seen that done at the higher priced chains for a few years now. It was appreciated. Breakfast choices were limited but adequate. The breakfast area was always clean. Our room was spotless clean and the bed was comfortable. Only negative was we could not get a first floor room and there is no elevator. The outside of the property could use some sprucing up. We will definitely choose this property again.

Great price. Very clean. But outside appearence youd not know it

Didn't look like much from the outside, but inside and the rooms were clean and in good condition. I will stay there again

The room was very nice. We had a hot tub suite and the hot tub was huge. The building was safe and secure. We went to the attached restaurant for breakfast and it was very good! The main downside that I saw was the check in area gave a bad 1st impression as the area was completely glassed in with a circular hole to talk to the clerk and another area to slide your card through. It felt like eww, maybe not a safe area. The other comment was that the properties cement you drive on to get to the parking was poor, lots of deep potholes.

Upon arriving I could see the hotel was run down and needed updating. The gentleman at the front desk was pleasant and even upgraded my room to a king bed without charging me more. The hotel has no elevator and our room was on the second floor. The stairs were in need of vacuuming. Our room itself was pretty clean. The bathroom toilet, sink and shower were clean and stocked with plenty of towels, toilet paper, soap and shampoos. The bed was clean and comfortable. There was a slight smell of cigarette smoke even though the room was a non smoking room. You could tell they had tried to get rid of the odor because there were two fragrance oil plug ins tipped upside down in the grates of the heater. The next morning we made our way to breakfast which was from 6-9am. The area past the front desk, which I had not seen upon check in was dirty and cluttered. There was a mattress tipped up against the wall just past the eating area. The whole look of this area turned me off. The breakfast options were limited. There was coffee and some cereal, toast and English muffins. There was a bottle of syrup out but nothing to put it on. I opened the mini fridge to check the expiration date on the milk and when I pulled it out the underside of the milk jug and the bottom of the milk were wet with some kind of brown liquid. I told my husband "nope" and we checked out and ate breakfast elsewhere. I do not recommend, and will not stay here again.

Expedia advertised “Hot Tub”. Facility did not have a hot tub. We booked the hotel for the hot tub! We wasted the money for this stay, had a terrible bed.

The exterior of the building looked neglected; painting and and exterior work would present a more welcome appearance. Same for the entrance. the carpeting needed to be vacuumed on the stairs and hallway. general cleaning would be beneficial. However, the price was reasonable, the room was very quiet and the desk clerk helped me to successfully access the internet.

In the vanishing world of <$100 hotels, this one was OK. Clean, friendly staff. The windows opened. Had a washing machine! It is in a truck depot. The room was dated and dark. The important stuff worked, however.

It was fine. Sink was grimy around drain. Entry way wasn’t clean looking. The trash around the facility was absolutely unacceptable.

The room smelled of smoke, the bathroom was dirty, the bar fridge smelled of sour milk and the faucet came off the wall mid shower so the shower head wouldn’t work. It just sprayed water at my calves. I wasn’t expecting a lot when I booked this but this was terrible

Very nice, clean rooms. Comfortable to sleep in. Loved the microwave and fridge in room and plenty of pillows. Would stay again.

Terrible. Filthy. Run down and just plain nasty. Do not stay here.

We got checked in, went up to the room and checked beds for bugs. Sure enough, we found bed bugs in the bed. Gross!!!!!

Room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was a joke - they should just use the space for something else and send guests to the great restaurant next door.

Hot tub was relaxing. Felt safe at the hotel.

Let me start by saying I don't have super high standards and I'm not one to give bad reviews for little things that most people would ordinarily tolerate. I haven't stayed in a place this bad for quite a long time. This facility is run down, dirty, and smells bad. I booked based on my desire to have a room with a jacuzzi tub for some relaxation after a busy week with a lot of driving. This was advertised as "Comfort Suite" and cost the same as what I've paid for a clean, beautiful hotel room. What I got was a dirty, dark room smelling heavily of marijuana with stained pillows, yellowing towels, disgusting carpet, and an overwhelming feeling that I wish I had booked a room at any of the other hotels I drove past. No comfort here! The Jacuzzi tub was large, but in poor condition with a misspelled sign taped near it asking not to rotate the "hot tube facet". The bathroom was dirty and had some questionable whitish substance smeared on the toilet flush handle. The parking lot was sketchy, filled with wrecked cars and buses looking for laborers. There were sketchy individuals roaming the parking lot as they smoked. The walls were so thin that every time a door was closed it sounded like someone was breaking into my room. I skipped the free breakfast as I had no appetite for any food provided at this place. This place needs a massive overhaul or will continue to attract unsavory guests. As for me, I'll skip the Jacuzzi tub and book at a better hotel next time I'm in the area.

Lobby area messy, breakfast just weird, my room was clean though. Loud with trucks idling and moving about.

Was a alright place but priced high and bed as not the best

The staff were great. Cheerful and very accommodating. We will stay here again.

Room was ok. Staff was great. Breakfast needs improvement. You pay for what you get pretty much. Easy to get to. I'll I wanted was a bed and breakfast. Good price for that.

They didn’t even have fly shatter. They weren’t at front desk and had to wait 10 min. When I left at 430am, a guy was by car wanting handout of money in parking lot.

Side door had sign that said it was locked and for guests only, however there was no way to lock it so anyone could enter. The front door was not monitored and usually took a few minutes to get someones attention.

Room was nice, staff friendly and helpful. Property could use some work but it seems to be a work in progress.

When we arrived we asked if we could check in early due to the fact we had a wedding to be at before 3:30pm. It wasnt a problem with them. Very nice staff

Staff was rude the lady in the front assumed I was a smoker and literally told me they don’t have a smoking room while I don’t smoke or nor was looking for a smoke room

Nice staff..good clean room

We booked this hotel, went there, nobody there. Sign on window said "went next door be back soon". we waited for 20 minutes, then left and went to another hotel. Tring to deal with hotels.com to get my money back. The woman that was at the desk when we contacted hotels.com told hotels.com she was there all day. I can't ever stay with a business that lies.

Nice quit place to stay

Stayed here before, quite satisfied with location convenience, staff, and generally the facilities. This time, I had trouble likely due to other guests, no fault of the hotel - intense smell of weed near the lobby and around & inside my room. I’d prefer if smoking was absolutely prohibited (& that was enforced).

Hot tub was relaxing. Felt safe at the hotel.

Old hotel, run down, it was clean. Noisy with truck stop nearby, mostly out of town workers staying there. Breackfast was very limited.

Never stayed in a hotel that was connected to a gas station/convenience store-truck stop.

The area is a bit sketchy. Quiet and comfortable though.

It turned out to be a truck stop although it was very quiet and a good deal for just 1 night
