So much so, that he requested that same room on our return trip from WI. Our issue was dogs in the breakfast area. Just.

As a woman, I appreciated that the front desk person did not say the room number out loud but rather pointed to it on the key card folder (safer security if you're a woman traveling solo). The entire hotel and our room was spotless and extremely well maintained. Very quiet and this was Minnesota State graduation weekend. The bed and pillows were amazing and I had some of the best sleep I've gotten in a while.

This is a six day stay so I will add comments as I go:…read more Pros 1. Everyone is super nice! 2. Rooms are updated and have a very versatile wardrobe. 3. The blackout windows work well, and the bed was super comfy. Cons: 1. First glance coming into the parking lot, it hard to get your barrings on whats what. 2. No walking distance restaurants. 3. The housekeeping was an issue. They come every other day. When they came on Day 4, I asked for 5 minutes because I was gathering my things to leave for the day. Well they left and never came back .. which I did not know until I returned at midnight. So I assumed they would clean the next day and not go four days without cleaning the room or emptying the trash .. nope I was wrong.

To be clear i even tested and used the hotel key slid into the opening and was able to get into the room. So a huge safety issue. We were able to switch rooms, but we had to do it before our event as they could not promise a room to be available later. Staff had also informed us that they had several rooms that had a similar issue. Which is a huge red flag. Why are they even booking these rooms?! The rooms themselves were clean and comfortable, the first room had some outlets that did not seem to work. The 2nd room had a smoke smell even though it is noted as non-smoking. For the price I would expect higher standards.

When I checked in, my second room occupant arrived also. To make check in faster, he went to a second hotel clerk and I asked the clerk to check him in under my second room. Checked in and was waiting by the elevator and first clerk came and asked for my govt id, I showed it and they said thank you. We all went to rooms to throw stuff in before heading out. Flash forward to today, I had a bill for about 210, he was charged 672. They were both booked in my name with my rate, and we were not told the bill would triple. If pressed, he could have gone to his vehicle and gotten it. The clerks said nothing. If this isnt cleared up, there will be no more bookings here.

Out of all the houses in Minnesota, this one is my favorite. Formerly the Hunt House, this…read morerenovated B&B is filled with charm, light, and thoughtful touches. I found this spot randomly when I came to Mankato for my birthday, and couldn't be happier. Breakfast is always delicious, and owners are experienced hospitality folk who go above & beyond to take care of their guests. I stayed in the Free Press Room, and my one friend who was visiting home also took a staycation and occupied the Worlds Fair room next door. Both were very comfortable, tastefully decorated, had an Google Home thingy that we learned to use . Plus, lovely bath products. They have recently added a second house for large group stays, which is a great option for "spillage" during larger family events (Ie, weddings, reunions, family vacations). Thank you for a wonderful stay, and keep up the great work!

We stayed at Moulin Rouge's house on a Monday night in late June. It was a last-minute decision…read moremade while we were still on the road in the evening, looking for a place to stop. Crhis answered the phone and had the good news that he had two rooms for our party of three, with the dog. He only asked that we don't let the dog go on top of, the bed, which we don't anyway at least when I'm around. It turned out that we were the only guests at Moulin Rouge that day. Kris said that typically, it's completely full during the weekend. As a testimony to that, he is still had a tent set up for a wedding party, and he was folding it when we arrived. Then her house is gorgeous and immaculately clean. I wiped up water after my dog, drank from her bowl and spilled a little on the floor. The napkin I used for that came back spotless white. The multiple course warning meal does not happen on weekdays, only on weekends. However, Chris still prepared yogurt parfaits for us and had a bunch of watermelon in the fridge. He also set up multiple baked goods and breakfast bars for us in the kitchen, ready for us to eat next morning. We opted to eat some of them that same evening. He also offered us to take whatever drinks were in the refrigerator, and we were able to store our stuff in the kitchen fridge as well. The windy Terry guys live upstairs to our rooms. Crhis unlocked our two rooms, and the other two or three rooms remain locked. Our rooms were connected, so we used them as a suite. The smaller room had a closet with a small refrigerator, which we didn't use because we had the downstairs kitchen with fridge our exclusive use. There were three bathrobes in the closet, and they used one of them. The bathroom was beautiful, with a shower and a very nice bathtub with bath salts out on the bench hanging across the tub. The water pressure was great in the shower, and the bath was very relaxing. There were bottles of water in each room with nice crystal glasses next to them. The house had a nice deck outside furniture, tables and sofas, and armchairs. There was also a beautiful small yard with yet another table and chairs, and a small vegetable garden. We had our breakfast in the courtyard outside, and our dog enjoyed the grassy area with bunnies hopping across once in a while the evening was hot, and there were fireflies in the air. Chris told us about. The area had flood issues, with landslides that week, so we couldn't get to see the Riverbank because they blocked the access due to dangers of mudslides. Still, we enjoyed a short evening walk with our dog in the neighborhood. Crhis pointed out that there was a house on their block were a famous writer of Betsy used to live on. He even pulled out one of the Betsy books that my 11 year old and I read together. My sophisticated 11 year-old First said she didn't really care for the book, but eventually, we both found it charming and enjoyed it. I also enjoyed listening to Chris story of how he ended up running the bed-and-breakfast. Apparently, he used to run an Eco hotel in Belize, where he met his wife who came as a guest. He followed her to Minnesota, where he went into the hospitality business. I think he works at one of the larger hotels, but a day, and also runs this bed and breakfast. His experience in hospitality business shows in how thoughtful the amenities are set up, and how clean the whole place is. All in all, it was the best hotel experience we have had while driving from Duluth, Minnesota back home to Berkeley, California. We usually don't stay in bed and breakfast, so this experience encouraged us so much that we tried another bit of breakfast, and Keystone, that had a great reviews, but it was far from the Moulin Hey Jeannie asked how we gonna celebrate July 4 and what they can bring Moulin Rouge experience. By the way, the reason why the place is called Moulin Rouge is because the house used to be a beauty parlor that had that name. He kept the name and the sign over the door, and the red tones in the decor go well with the Moulin Rouge theme.

Grimy and loud are the first two words that pop into my head to describe this hotel. The furniture…read morein the lobby is very worn and shabby. The elevator carpeting on the walls appeared dirty and I overheard more than one remark about avoiding touching the elevator wall. The room feels cramped with low ceilings and more shabby furniture. The carpet was clearly stained. The beds were moderately comfortable and the sheets were in good condition. In this room I could hear my neighbor clearly use the restroom and any other sounds from their room as if they were in the same room as myself. The hot tub was closed and had been shut down for some time apparently and breakfast was a cold bagged ordeal that I was never offered or made aware of either day of my stay. Overall it just felt cramped and dirty though the location was convenient and the garage parking included. However at the price, I would expect it to be more comparable in cleanliness and updates to other nearby hotels. I would not stay here again nor recommend it.

Old everything. Old Bed, chain lock on the door, toilet and bathroom old. Mold in the shower, some once receipt from a month ago and a toy under the bed.... Just generally ratty. From the IHG app I expected much better. I will say check in was friendly and fast, and the hotel seems quiet (almost deserted) but otherwise there are many better places to stay in Mankato. This isn't on par with most IHG properties. Stay at the holiday inn express on the other side of town.

Filter was full of dust and there was mold and dust on the vents. Nothing happened while we were out to dinner. Had to make a trip to the front desk to get the issue cleared. FINALLY she said she could wash the filter because there was nothing available. The safety latch on the door was loose and could have been broken in.
