“This Mankato hotel places you near the local mall and university; expect functional rooms equipped with kitchenettes, ideal for longer stays. I noted they offer a pet-friendly policy and recreational spaces like sports courts, unusual for the area, but some rooms could use refreshing. It's a practical choice if you value convenience and don't mind some dated decor.”
