Executive Inn by Belvilla Owatonna Hwy 35

This is an independent family owned motel which pleasantly surprised me. I stayed in a room with two queen beds. My main goal was to have a clean, quiet, safe and comfortable place to sleep and relax between curling matches--I was in town for a tournament. This meant I was in and out of the room at unpredictable times. The Inn was quiet, my room was clean and secure, and the staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. The room was quite spacious, the bathroom recently remodeled. The shower was excellent although the tub was a little slow to drain. The room lighting was pretty dim, reading a physical book in bed could be challenging. The Inn advertises a continental breakfast, but I recommend avoiding it. The food is cold cereal, coffee, juice and plastic wrapped pastries. The food is served in a room the size of a walk-in closet with no tables. Fortunately, there is a fine and relatively inexpensive family style restaurant immediately adjacent to the motel. My sense is that the family owning the motel takes pride in their property. While definitely not a destination motel, for my modest requirements the Executive Inn suited me just fine. I will stay there again the next time I visit Owatonna.
