The chef had the meal prepared wonderfully, all the times I was there! The DJ knew all of the perfect songs to play that added to the moment; and he also had fun games to play while we waited for our salads! The services from the people who took my plate was outstanding! They were very polite and professional and got my table cleared off almost like magic. I would definitely go there many many more times if I could. Overall, great food, service, fun. 5/5

The check in set the tone for the rest of the visit, with Anita as our front desk representative. She was attentive and friendly. The rooms were very nice and very clean with no weird smells. Also, since we are military, the hotel comped our water park passes and gave our children two free stuffed animals!!! Even the coffee in the lobby was above par. I would highly recommend this HIE!!!

My wife and I enjoyed the comfortable bed, nice bath amenities, TV in both living room and bedroom. We had a full kitchen with oven/range, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, etc. Situated in the heart of Faribault's historic downtown, with it's beautiful old 1880's to early 1900's buildings along Central Avenue, it's within easy walking distance to an eclectic mix of shops and restaurants and several miles away from the Walmart and the ugly strip malls. You definitely want to reserve in advance as there are limited suites, only four or five, and the price is very reasonable, so I imagine they go quickly.

What a joke…read more Backstory: Attended a wedding over the weekend. 1) As the wedding progressed we dimmed the lights for ambience. Immediately the kitchen manager came up and told us we weren't to do that. We had asked previously and had the go ahead. Not a problem. Miscommunication. We said the lights could go back on and this was the response, "You turned them down, you can down them back up". 2) Bar refused to open before the ceremony had begun for fear of, "people clinking their glasses". WTF?! Rude, intolerable behavior on a day that should of been a celebration. Potential brides: Look elsewhere.

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.

There's a bar here. It seems to mostly cater to locals/regulars. By no means a touristy spot…read more They can host a pretty large event here, which was what brought me. I don't think I would ever have a reason to come here otherwise - except for maybe bingo night. (btw, that was both serious and sarcastic - I'd never go for a bingo night, but it's probably the most exciting reason to go here if you aren't involved with the Legion). Anyway, back to the event - despite being somewhat run down, the large event room was creatively dressed up to make it seem much much nicer than it otherwise would appear. Strings of lights and cloth were draped across the ceiling, and colored lights were installed in the wall sconces, and fabrics were hung up to hide more unsightly, run-down areas of the event room. It probably took a *lot* of work, but they really made a difference to improve this somewhat less-than-mediocre place. If you plan on hosting an event here, make sure to hire a good decorator! All that being said, there's not many other options when you are in Waseca.

We were very excited to find that we had a king suite with a full kitchen (VERY VERY helpful) Nice big flat screen tvs both in the living room and bedroom. Complimentary breakfast was decent with eggs, biscuits and grave, assorted cereals, breads, and pastries. And my little one was stoked that they had a large selection of tea. :) Traveling with two kids, hotels get really boring, but my boys had plenty to do here. They have a basketball court and a playground complete with swings and a rock climbing wall. They also have a small game room, a full size pool and a kiddie wading pool.

The other 3 are the Estherville Meteorite, the highest point in Iowa (Hawkeye Point at 1670 feet), and the Field of Dreams baseball diamond. 75 years after that fateful plane crash, folks are still coming to the informal shrine to "Where the Music Died". They come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They turn into the small parking lot, not knowing for sure why they're doing it. We arrived as innocent as children, longing for the past. People will come, Ray. OK, that's from Field of Dreams, but it fits. After a brisk walk of about 1/2 mile starting from the big glasses, what I found was a stainless steel guitar and a set of three stainless steel records marking the exact spot where the plane carrying Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, & JP ''The Big Bopper'' Richardson came to rest following their final concert at the Surf Ballroom in nearby Clear Lake. A second monument was erected on the 50th anniversary of the tragedy honoring their pilot, Roger Peterson. Waylon Jennings was also at the Surf that day, but gave up his seat to Richardson, and took the bus. When Holly learned that Jennings wasn't going to fly, he said in jest, ''Well, I hope your ol' bus freezes up'' and Jennings responded, also in jest, ''Well, I hope your ol' plane crashes''. This would haunt Jennings for the rest of his life. Dad stayed in the car while I completed my lone pilgrimage. The visit was short, the day was cool, and this fan monument was insightful and worth the trip to this lonely stretch where unfortunate history was made. I hope that any person reading this review has a chance to visit here and the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, which is the site of Buddy Holly's last performance.

The trail head to the crash site (which is located in a corn field) is marked by a large pair of Buddy-Holly type glasses. You can park on the side of the road, and then walk through the corn field on a well-travelled path to the crash site, which has some fan-made memorials there. I placed my sunglasses in the middle of the bridge of Buddy Holly's glasses in the photo attached. True artists and RIP to all that past that day. RIP Highly recommend checking out this spot. Pretty cool to see.
