The hotel is only 1 block away from the Lake Wobegon Trail. Very convenient location. They do have a bike rack, so we locked our bikes up at the hotel when we were not riding, and overnight. The Hotel was quiet Friday night, no one in pool or hot tub. Room was clean, bed is firm, pillows, okay. Breakfast in the morning was basic, which is what we expected. Hotel staff was helpful and friendly. There is nothing to do in the town of Albany, all previous little stores are closed. Basic fast food joints around. Saturday night however was a totally different story.. There was a wedding party booked. We were woken up in the middle of the night about 1:30am by loud drunk people fighting in the parking lot. There was a drunk guy running around knocking on each door wanting his car keys. We did complain and the manager was very concerned and had lots of issue with the wedding party. They did apologize multiple times and gave us a discount. Other than the wedding party our trip was awesome. If you take the Lake Wobegon Trail, head up to Bowlus and eat at Jordies roadside cafe. The best little hidden gem. Great food, great atmosphere. And the 17.5 mile trail is flat and easy, for novice cruiser bikes like ours. (single speed)
