What guests think

Reviews of Arch and Cable Hotel highlight clean, modern, loft-style rooms with comfortable beds and a convenient, walkable downtown location, along with easy parking and smooth code-based check-in, creating a quiet, low-fuss stay for many guests.

Common drawbacks include limited on-site amenities, no restaurant, a very simple breakfast, and occasional coffee shortages. Rooms are spacious and stylish with an industrial feel, though several guests noted minimal storage, limited lighting or counter space, and a few layout or maintenance quirks.

Very nice boutique style hotel in downtown Mankato. Many great restaurants within walking distance and very close to the campus. Extremely easy parking. The room was quiet, clean and we loved the view from the window. We will definitely stay there again.

This is a cool hotel. The room was large and had nice amenities like nice towels and toiletries. However, there are minimal food/drink options. They were late setting up breakfast one day and they ran out of coffee numerous times. The self-serve coffee area on the room level ran out of coffee pods on day one and was never replenished. When you don’t have a restaurant, making sure you have coffee is bare minimum.

Unique hotel and vibe! Our room was spacious and we loved all of the tall windows! It was more like a studio loft apartment. Loved the contactless check-in process. The technology worked as it should and was so convenient. Property was conveniently located for our activities. We would stay here again. The bed and bedding were comfortable, but I hated the pillows, they were cheap.... need to replace with down or down alternative. Our only other complaint is the check-in is at 4:00 p.m. (although we were able to check-in 30 minutes early with no problems), while check-out is at 10:00 a.m., a bit early for us. I would consider staying here again but would request a late check-out. Parking was plentiful, convenient, and free.

Super easy checking. Safe property. Great Nespresso and Dunkin' for the mornings. Quiet atmosphere. Room was nice....bed was great. Only downfall was no hot shower, just luke warm at best which we did let staff know about and I am sure they'll take a look and see what was going on. Overall was good and we'd happily come back next visit to mankato.

Everything was fine until Sunday morning when we seemed coffee. There were no cups so we had to go to the lobby area and got weak brewed coffee. No water in the keruig. No cream. Breakfast was lacking.

Very large room with a decent view of the river area. The hotel is a single floor of a 5 story multipurpose building, and has an industrial vibe (exposed metal beams, polished concrete floors, etc.) Nice shower. As large as the bathroom is, it has very limited counter space. The bed was too soft for my liking, but my wife liked it. a few items available for breakfast, but very limited. Overall a clean comfortable place - will probably stay again when we need to visit Mankato.

This is a new hotel with an urban loft vibe. Spacious and clean. I was surprised that this new room did not have the USB ports that I’ve come to expect in hotel rooms. They were confined to one lamp on the far side of the bed. I would have also liked 2 comfortable chairs (there was one near the door and a bed) and more lighting. It’s a nice place and I would happily stay there again.

Like the modern feel and the uniqueness of buisnesses on 1st floor with hotel rooms on 4th floor. Also did not need to wait around to checkin as we were able to go right to our room right away with no need for key cards, just the code we were given. Saw other reviews that there were donuts in the am, but we did not see/get those. We did walk down to Coffee Hag for a yummy breakfast though. They responded quick with any questions theough text. I did think it was a bit overpriced, but other hotels were too. Clean and comfortable with some nice style. Love the floor to ceiling wall of windows! Great location.

The check-in process was fine. There was a very nice and helpful person at the desk to get us checked in. That was the last time we saw anyone at the desk. There is no dining on the property. Donuts and coffee are offered on the floor every morning. The room had lighting on only one side with no lighting on the other side of the room, making the desk unusable. No grab bars in the shower, no place to sit in the bathroom other than a no cover toilet. No towels in the bathroom. All bathroom linens are in a cabinet at the other end of the room. Very inconvenient. A blow fuse left us in the dark when we used a hair dryer and curling iron from the same set of outlets. That should not happen. Placement of the safe would take a contortionist to get to. Form over function seems to be the mantra of the designers or owners. We will not be staying there again.

Our stay was great. Desk staff were nice. The rooms are beautiful. Everything felt new, fresh, and clean. Our kids liked the breakfast (Dunkin’ Donuts) and we enjoyed the Nespresso. We booked the Queen “suite” and the room we got was two queens but did not match the images we saw online; at booking the room looked like it would have two kind of separate sleeping areas—traveling with kids, this is what we were hoping for. So we were disappointed in that. We hope Hotels.com/the property update their images so it doesn’t feel like a bait and switch for other families!
