Staff was great and very friendly. Room was clean and ready to go except electronics and lights etc were not plugged in. Breakfast was hot. It was nice having access to two restaurants and not far from Robbin's Island Park which is amazing! Willmar is not the greatest town and was their for a workshop and it was nice coming back to a comfy, cozy, and clean place.

The room was clean and welcoming, the front desk signed me up for the rewards and was very pleased with the offer and kindness. I had left a stuffed moose by accident and I was able to call and have someone get it. It saved a heartbreak!
I would suggest items found be tagged to the room and time to be able to reach out if something could be irreplacable but not complaining just a tip would help elevate the guest experience and trust/loyalty but they did right by me! Breakfast was amazing as well! Will stay again.

For the price I expected a better breakfast. Toothpaste all over the bathroom wall and artwork. Musty smell when we walked in. We stay in Minneapolis every week and we get better rooms for $50.00 less. With a nice breakfast.

Good stay for the price. Rooms are quite small and relatively outdated, but very clean. Pool was great for our kids and seemed well maintained. We stayed 2 nights and house keeping did not stop by our room; not a big deal but with 2 adults, 2 kids and an infant we could have used more towels and trash taken out. We would likely stay here again if in the area because of the pool and the hotel being pet friendly. There were events both nights of our stay but we hardly noticed and had no issues with noise.

I like that the pool is open late and the receptionist in tonight is amazing! I think her name is Kari but I can’t remember. But the lady who is working the desk today June 21st 2025 when I checked in at 7:45 pm ish should get a raise she has the best customer service.

This hotel served my purposes. It had a sitting area and frig and microwave. You had the ability to do whatever you needed to. There is an indoor pool that is surrounded by hotel rooms. It wasn't an issue for me, but it is unusual. They don't have room service while you are there. While I was there, it was very quiet. I would stay here again.

I almost exclusively use Best Western, and my flagship locations are Salem OR and Yakima WA. Unfortunately the Willmar location is a tired hotel, not what you would expect for $200 which is more than any other BW I have stayed at. Lumpy pillows?? Wow, thats what I would expect from old budget motels from my past. They tried to make it nice with modern coffee makers, mini fridge and so on, but the bed, pillows, shower, hall carpet and exterior gave its age away. Their Bar and Grill ‘Ruffs’ was nice with great beer and great staff but they couldn’t do a burger right, too greasy of a bison burger, no veggies on top. The weight room and spa looked good but I didn’t check them out.
