Hermantown Homestays

My friend booked this hotel as she was able to get a good rate through work. The outside of the hotel looks a little rough. From speaking to the staff it was built between 1962 and 1972. Its two floors and no elevator. Yes the parking lot looks like battleground with craters and there is no advertised entrance. You enter through the Holiday Inn entrance. The inside has been gutted and somebody has spent a great deal of money on the interior. There was new floors and carpeting throughout. The walls had new paint and fixtures. We were in Room 218 and the beds were nice and soft with new bedding. The bathroom was clean, the shower handle to start the shower you had to pull out. We did have some trouble with the plug for the tub, but yhe lady at the front desk came and showed my daughter how to put it in. I asked for some extra blankets as I was feeling cold and I received two duvets. The service was always good. While there the hot tub did not work and the pool did not look too inviting so we didn't go in. The breakfast area was clean and attended to. They had all the food you would expect at a morning breakfast. Overall the place was busy, all the parking spots around hotel were filled by about 6pm. Its not a fancy hotel, but it is a clean hotel. If you are just staying over night and travelling this is a good buy, its also very close to Costco. Don't let the outside looks deter you. I read quite a few bad reviews that I didn't feel were quite justified. If you want new and modern this many not be the place for you. If you are travelling on a budget and want a clean place, reasonable breakfast this place will do.

Very nice modern hotel. It was clean and comfortable. The beds were great! We enjoyed sitting on a very nice patio at the back of the hotel. The continental breakfast was very good - it had a lot to offer. Our only gripe about our room is that the AC unit in was funky - it ran forever until we turned it up a degree to stop it. And then it stayed off for so long that we had to turn it down a degree to get it to start again. And there was only one fan speed - high! In spite of this, we still enjoyed our stay.
