River Hills Hotel

Has an air bnb feel, not a cookie cutter chain hotel at all. Our room was large , like a suite with a fold out sleepable couch area and a kitchenette. Understaffed at the time, like many other businesses. We stayed on a busy weekend, prices were a bit higher than we normally would pay for lodging, but that was the case all over Mankato that weekend. We had a full breakfast but front desk clerk said that the weekday breakfast is more of a continental style. Staff was very kind and helpful , even being very busy. Location is excellent. There was a tv in the bedroom and another one in the area with the couch. Swimming pool had not been operative since Covid.

You know when you get that perfect looking watermelon then you open it and it is just flavorless and mushy….that’s this place. Outside is decent, lobby looks nice….then you get into your room and your hit with the flavorless mush. Our room still had mascara from the previous guest on the bathroom counter. Fridge didn’t work and smelled bad. Shower wasn’t as clean as it could be. It was just VERY DATED. Looks like they tried to freshen up the bathroom by throwing a single layer of paint on the wall. Along with many other things that were minor but should be replaced especially for the price a night paid. Now, with all that being said it worked for us. The bed was fairly comfortable, AC worked well and so did out toilet. We didn’t eat any of the breakfast but it did look like there were more options on the weekend vs a week day. Luckily we were visiting family so we didn’t need to spend much time at this hotel other than sleeping.

Rain out of hot water. TV remote did not work in one bedroom. Nice looking room

I loved the decorations, you can tell the hotel owner has really invested in the décor and the quality of the stay. My one issue is that the hot water ran out. I used the shower and was fine and my fiancé went to shower and the hot water was gone....for a whole hotel? The complimentary breakfast was AWESOME. The food was fresh, well stocked, and of good quality.
