We found out after we reserved our room that this hotel is located next to a nightclub and it seems that the hotel is used for all their one night hookups. While checking into the room, we found ourselves in the middle of a shouting match between a couple. The door to the room was missing the chain on it and barely shut. The room smelled like someone had smoked their soul away while drawing graffiti on the lamp base counting the numerous mystery stains and spills splattering the walls and doors. The shower head sprayed sideways in a wide ring that flooded the floor. The sink area looked like something straight out of a horror movie. If you have the misfortune of having to sit on the toilet, you might want to be prepared for the toilet seat to shift to the left so you’re sitting on the brim of the toilet bowl instead. We kept our shoes on anytime we had to walk on the floor and did our best to not choke on the smoke scented pillows as we attempted to sleep for the night. Morning couldn’t come fast enough for us.

I stay at the Lakeview quite often to visit a relative in nursing care in Willmar. Everyone there is friendly, extremely helpful. The cost of a room is lower than others in area. They make me feel at home .

There was a funky smell in the air, and the bed was way too hard. But you can't expect them to afford much on maintenance and upgrades at that low of a rate!

While the staff was friendly and there was daily maid service, the room was dirty overall. The bathroom fixtures were in need of repair. In this case, it seemed like you get what you paid for. A cheap room

First room smelled liked poop. They were not happy to move us. Stairs were metal and felt shaky. Next morning went to have breakfast and there is none. Supposedly since Covid yet all sites where they are featured show free continental breakfast. Phone blinks off and on intermittently at all times. Breaking point was finding roach on bathtub second night. Next morning microwave, fridge, and tv stopped working. DO NOT Recommend.

Great water pressure!

I could feel the springs in the mattress, but I slept pretty well. In fact I slept better than I have in “nicer” hotels with “better” mattresses. I was very pleasantly surprised with the EXCELLENT water pressure! The room was quiet, I slept well, and the water pressure in the shower was excellent! I found good value in this small hotel and would happily stay here again.
