Mom n Pop place, so don't expect the Hilton feel
It's a mom n pop place, so you can't expect the Hilton feel from it. It needs much updating. The room could have been cleaned better (a tiny bit of dust on the headboards, back of the toilet was not cleaned, old soap left in shower, corners of bathroom needed a scrubbing). Would be nice to have more then 2 pillows on the bed and 2 body towels in the rack. The "deadbolt" wouldn't lock from the inside, but you couldn't get in with out a key. The selection for "breakfast" was very basic but wasn't bad, BUT the taste of the food horrible (tasted like the bottom of the barrel of the generic brands). But, none if those things were major issues. The owner was very kind. We didn't see any bugs, and the room was warm. We didn't have an issues. The pics are accurate, and got what we expected. It was a good/very basic stay for what it was.

Lots of noise during our first night. Bathroom door did not fit opening so it could not be closed fully. Other than that, it was sufficient for what we paid.

This is an older business in need of some TLC. Bath door didn't shut correctly, shower control just spun until you could figure out temp control. Needed a good clean. Host was happy and congenial

High Value Stay
Oakdale is a motel - park in front of your room door. Surrounding area is commerical/residential mix - very safe. Nearby is a nice Hyvee grocery. My room had a good number of light fixtures. I enjoy a well-lit room. The furnishings were very nice for this level motel - Marble sink top. Honey pine dresser and table in excellent condition. New carpet. Internet router on the table in my room allowed me CAT-5 connection to internet - good bandwidth. Flat screen tv with 100 or so channels. Proprietor gave me a room upgrade to two queen bed room where my reservation was for one. There is a free continental breakfast. Pretty small, but as good for me as most chain hotels - Raisin Bran cereal and a banana is all I'd usually appreciate from those as well. Not a stay-to-impress, but at half the price of a large chain motel - an excellent value.

An OK place to sleep.
Breakfast is included, but it isn't very appetizing. I chose it because it is a short walk to the HyVee so if a Minnesota Blizzard descended upon me, I'd still have access to booze and other necessities. Heat is via a boiler but I cannot be sure you can change the temperature. I didn't freeze. They take your payment in advance. We checked out early and there was a question about whether or not we were going to get a refund until I called Hotels.com. The bed was "good enough". The TV was basic satellite, when was the last time you saw something you wanted to watch on satellite TV? Free Wi-Fi was strong enough to download a show. It was less than 1/2 the price of the AmericInn. There are several food places within a couple of blocks.

A View of HyVee
I was greeted on check in with, "You shouldn't have been able to reserve a room" because there was a convention in town, but I was allowed to stay in the end. Breakfast consisted of old fruit, cereal, and pastries. I tried a banana, but it was so bruised, I had to throw it away. It's a motel and cheaper than the other hotels in town, so I did not expect a lot, but a toasted bagel sure would have been nice.
