My stay at the Best Western Plus in Albert Lea, MN was delightful. The rooms were clean and cozy, equipped with a microwave, fridge, and even a Keurig with K-cups. I especially enjoyed the warm and comfortable Deluxe Whirlpool King room with a sofa, worth the $20 pet fee. Overall, a very nice experience for the price.

The hotel was warm and comfortable with a KING bed and a sofa at the very end of the hall. It seemed pretty clean, which means a lot to me as I usually feel uneasy about hotel cleanliness. The only downside was the recliner which was not as clean.
