Due to a broken water faucet, and four days of running water, I found my home almost destroyed. As they were drying out my home and starting to reconstruct all but two rooms, I was fortunate to be put up in the County Inn & Suits in Albert Lea by my insurance company.

Stayed here spur of the moment and it was a great choice! Rooms where very nice and updated. Breakfast had a wide verity for being continental. Staff was very friendly and always had a smile, especially Kendra. I had the pleasure of being checked in by Kendra and she was absolutely great, very friendly and helpful with directions.

After a long road trip what a nice surprise. Got the "honeymoon" suite, double jacuzzi tub in the living room. Soaked my dawgs while watching my Cats get thumped by the Buckeyes! Staff very nice. Bed and pillows incredibly comfortable. Price was right! Breakfast only downside. Eggs tasted like powdered, less varieties than most chains. I will search out this... More

I've stayed here almost ten times in the past three months and I've been pleased every time. The rooms are clean and in very good condition.

Stayed here on our drive from northern MN to Galena. The property is conveniently located, is clean, spacious rooms, good breakfast. They charged a fee for our little dog. I recommend it. Even though they had a full house (tour bus), they met our needs.
