Top Rice County Fair Grounds Hotel Reviews

Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott Northfield

10/10 Excellent

"It was clean, quiet and nice."

Faribault Hometown Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Clean"

Regency Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Older hotel kept very clean, quiet even though close to the interstate. Room size was perfect, clean bathroom area, everything worked, felt comfortable and secure there. Good selection for breakfastWell lit entrances and parking lot. 2 negatives were one of the room door was real sticky and did not shut on its own and the posted list of fines for anything 'stained', broken or stolen was tacky."

Days Inn by Wyndham Faribault

8/10 Good

"Small and clean. Easily located and friendly knowledgeable staff."

Villa inn

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk host was helpful and effective. Room was decorated nicely, was clean and quiet. Thank you!"

Hotel Owatonna

8/10 Good

"The location of the motel is less than attractive, but convenient as it is very close to the exit from Interstate 35. Our expectations were frankly low at the price, but the room turned out to be nice and well kept. The beds were comfortable, the water was hot. No surprise in low-price hostelries, the breakfast offerings were minimal."

Boarders Inn & Suites by Cobblestone Hotels - Faribault

8/10 Good

"The hotel is great for those who don’t want to be bothered. It’s a nice place just a little worn down. Pool was amazing! Breakfast was great! but the rooms need updating. No fan in the bathroom so the bathroom stayed moist. Beds were a little hard but not bad. Ac was great. Parking lot a little dark so it can be a little creepy but that meant no bright light shining through the curtains. Great check in easy and fast. There was a guy outside, felt like every time I would let my dog out he was there, was odd but not menacing. Stayed for 3 nights. This hotel is dependent on the kind of person you are. If your looking for somthing with decent rates a hot breakfast and a pool, I’d reccomend it. But if your used to nice hotels you will not like it."

The Inn at Shattuck St. Mary's

10/10 Excellent

"Quaint place on campus with a wonderful staff. The Inn was very clean and well maintained. Will be going back to stay again!"
