Liked: Cleanliness
The check in person was not very helpful. Did not know area. The lighting in the room was harsh and terrible. The beds were uncomfortable, and the pillows were horrible. The tub was dangerous, no grab bar on back wall and a rounded floor in the tub. The breakfast was not good. The facility was attractive and clean.

Could Be A Better Stay

We're Choice member and have stayed at decent member options. For this trip, we stayed at Comfort Inn in Oakdale, MN for 2-weeks. We had a last minute family emergency and "100% non-smoking" hotels in this area were limited. Initially, we booked a different smoke free hotel, but when we checked-in, the front desk/lobby and elevator smelled marijuana and the check-in staff was high then the room smelled funny, it wasn't ready nor clean! We asked for a refund and left. Initial check-in was fine. Front-desk personnel appeared friendly. Lobby is clean and offers a welcoming feel to it. Community room is nice to watch TV or work remotely in quiet space. The room looked nice and clean, but needs a face lift. The molding/crowns is poorly done, so it made the space feels less value/quality than it appears online. TV remote, decor (arts), lamps could be updated and night stand/desk areas could supply devices charging stations. The beds were too firm and uncomfortable, hurt our backs through entire stay. A couple maintenance are needed: window screen has a large tear plus middle dresser drawer keeps sliding open. Many huge pot holes in parking lot, drive carefully. Though, advertised as 100% smoke-free, there were 3-4 instances when elevators and our floor stank of weed and cigarettes. Management doesn't walk the building? Most staff were quiet, no interaction/greetings towards guests and some offers no friendly faces or smiles, like annoyed being at work. Housekeeping were great!

Low price & convenient location. 3rd floor smelled like ?cigarettes. Our room needed a deep cleaning beyond the standard daily quick clean- walls, carpet corners, light switches etc were dirty and needed scrubbing. Beds and toilets were clean.
