All of the staff we met were great, all helpful & kind! We especially loved the bartender on Friday night, she was a great time. We had a king room for the two nights we stayed and it was perfect for the weekend. The bed was comfortable - however it definitely needed a bigger comforter for two people. I ended up with the blanket while my boyfriend ended up sleeping with a lighter sheet-blanket. I especially liked the bathroom in our room! The backlit mirror was perfect for doing my makeup and hair before the wedding. The shower was also the perfect pressure and easy to use, with more than enough towels on hand - both are usually an issue when I stay at hotels. Overall - great new modern hotel! Definitely recommend if you're in the area or planning a wedding close by.

We had two separate bedrooms, full kitchen, and a laundry room. It was clean and there were glasses, plates and silverware for use. The downfall is you wash your own dishes which made me uneasy. I washed everything prior to using it just in case the people before us didn't wash it well. We were in Suite #3 which had a private balcony overlooking the river. It was a great view. In all, I came into this place not expecting to like it, but I was pleasantly surprised.

If I had paid $125 for this room, I maybe would add back a star. But for $300, this hotel just…read moreisn't up to par. Pros: Fantastic location - a few minute walk to the adorable downtown stretch. Good breakfast. Cons: This hotel has clearly been updated but not maintained well. The ceiling in the lobby bathroom is leaking and has a bucket catching the water. There is peeling wallpaper, cobwebs in the corner of the room, and a dingy shower tray. There was a large spot on the carpet of our room that was wet and got my suitcase and socks soaking wet. The nice patio overlooking the river closes at 10pm. Also, not to be "that person," but we are Marriott Gold Elite, and typically there is mention of that during check in, a note about the free upgraded WiFi, etc. Not only was there none of that when I checked in, I was initially told at 1:30 that it would be "1-2 hours until your room is ready" because they were busy. When I mentioned that this would be past the check in time and that we had a wedding to get to, I was told I was free to get changed in the lobby bathroom.

She was "always right" and refused to even listen to us. Dealing with her was a nightmare and easily the worst part of the entire wedding. Head Chef prepared a wonderful meal for the tasting. The food was not as good for the wedding, and the portions were very small. Wedding guests did comment on how the food was not what it was at our other daughter's wedding at this same venue. General Manager/COO did make sure that things were corrected (financially), but refused to respond directly to e-mails or telephone calls. Office Manager was very helpful and friendly. Catering Lead and staff along with the bartending staff was EXCEPTIONAL!!!! They were cheerful and very professional. Their customer service skills were wonderful. Maybe the management team could learn from them.

We were driving across country and needed a place to stay for the night. Faribault looked like a…read moregreat spot to stay for the night. There are few hotels to choose from in Faribault. All the hotels appear to be your typical hotels you find along the freeway when traveling which is interesting as Faribault seams like a charming town once you depart the freeway a couple of miles. However, I came across this hotel on Yelp and thought why not try it out. It is located on the Shattuck-St campus which is just stunning. Beautiful architecture and grounds. When we walked in, Alicia at the front desk greeted us. Alicia was very friendly and gave us the rundown if the property. The hotel itself is quaint with a handful of rooms. There is a dining area you can access at any time for snacks and beverages. Our room was upstairs which you can access by stairs or elevator. Our windows looked out onto the Shattuck grounds. Quite nice! The king room is large with an extra sitting area with a large desk, couch and lounge chair. There is a coffee station, wardrobe closet, dresser, large wall mirror, iron. The bathroom is also spacious with a shower that has a bench should one need it. The bathroom had plenty of towels and accessories and appeared to be handicap accessible. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Is this an older hotel, yes, it has some very interesting history you can read all about. But it is not a modern sterile hotel. It is older and charming. We had everything we needed for a comfortable place to stay. And, the price was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend booking here as opposed to a regular hotel that you will pay more to stay and have less atmosphere.

Who doesn't love (ahem...need) a getaway? I take them as often as I can, usually looking for…read moresomewhere nearby so I don't spend half my vacation time in traffic. I always think I'm ahead of the game when it comes to Inn's and B&B's, but I'm always surprised to find new places I've never heard of, especially when they are located in a town I've never visited. Last month, I hopped on Google to search for my next trip, and scanned on over to Faribault, where the pickings were slim. I hovered over an Inn on the property of an International boarding school (in Minnesota?). I figured it was private and almost clicked away, but was drooling over the photos and had to investigate. Sure enough, this is an Inn, open to the public, and tucked away so wonderfully, you'll feel far far away. The hostess was kind and helped me reserve a room over the phone, but you can also reserve online. There are simply not enough photos on their website...this place is gorgeous and spacious. It was built in 1817 as a library, then a dorm. then an infirmary for a school, and was recently restored and renovated in 2013. It has all of the modern amenities one could want, and yet they've preserved the beauty of the old architecture and incorporated it as much as they can. I reserved a Single Studio for $109 a night (a steal), which comes with a complimentary grab + go style breakfast, as well as coffee, tea and punch. The breakfast area seats around 10 comfortably, and we only ran into 3 other people in the morning. The Inn is also rented out for small weddings and company meetings, but we didn't wander into those areas. The hostess leaves in the evening, so we had the place to ourselves and were encouraged to walk around and make ourselves at home. We didn't notice any unwanted noise or disturbances, even with several cars in the lot. Note that you need your key to get back in after 10pm. We were upgraded to a King Suite at no extra charge, simply because the room was available. I was impressed and grateful for the wonderful customer service. The room was HUGE, and had a sweet sitting area, with a cute green couch, and flatscreen, as well as a flatscreen around the corner across from the comfy bed. It had a large armoire and desk, and big windows. The room was cozy, and we noticed the couch and ottoman could be converted to a hideaway bed if needed. The bathroom was large, but the shower was small - it could definitely have held a tub and bigger shower, but was fine for us. It was clean and modern, and I loved the smell of the toiletries made in NYC. Definitely take a walk around the grounds - we walked down an unmarked path down to the river and train tracks to explore a bit. I saw only a handful of students on the grounds, and wonder what it would look like while school was in session - however you are not in the middle of the school grounds so you have you own privacy. For the price, the comfort, and the location, this place is absolutely the best in Faribault, and I will definitely be returning next time I head south for an escape.
