Snelling Motel

Great location and price, the heat/AC worked better than in some much more expensive rooms, check-in staff was friendly, overall room was basically clean. Had fridge, microwave, coffee maker, hair dryer.

Entry full of things that belonged in storage shed somewhere, filthy light switches, torn lamp shades, stained shower stall. Walls were beat up, bathroom door had been replaced but not stained, a general feeling of "run down" even though it was basically clean and there were efforts at maintenance (new door, new shower control). Parking lot too small, I took the last slot at 9 PM when the sign said "no vacancy".

Good

Booked here because it’s walking distance to Minnehaha Falls Park, which was simply wonderful. Not just the waterfall, but everything about it.

There were no electrical outlets whatsoever in the bathroom. This the first time in my life I have seen this. My wife uses curling iron, hair dryer to get ready, no can do here. Again, no plug-ins in bathroom. We travel with extension cords, but there was no outlet in the main room that was close enough to make this work. Constant “ding! ding! Day and night from nearby light rail crossing.
