Red Rock Lodge

The saying "you get what you pay for" holds true most of the time so wasn't expecting more than one should for what it is- a small hotel, in a small town and only rents rooms on a weekly basis (reasonable price but highest rate in the metropolitan area). NYC native but moving back to the Twin Cities after a few years is why I wanted a budget priced, temporary/weekly rental until securing a more semi-permanent residence. Location is very good- right off main Hwy and 15min or less to anywhere in St. Paul/Mpls proper. My stay was 5wks consecutively- ample time to see the full scope of staying at Red Rock Lodge. Overall it's a good place especially for a weekly rate, budget friendly motel. Well maintained property with on-site washer/dryer laundry available. More quiet on a regular basis than you'd expect and has nice, cordial mannered staff. Medium-small size rooms with mini fridge/freezer, small shower/no tub bathroom and mostly clean walls to ceiling with pretty good furnishings although not much/sparsely furnished- a large flat screen tv with cable, comfy bed and 2 night stands sums it up. The only 2 "needs improvement" issues: the carpet cleaning services had been overlooked for too long but no bugs or foul odors. The only other 'fix now' issue is the wireless network connection- never stays connected longer than 13min at a time and takes a long time to connect at all- very slow and annoying limted connectivity- so come equipped with your own WiFi if you need internet. Honestly though, no seedy "weekly rate" element/vibe going on there such that middle-class accustomed folks like myself could feel at ease even with an extended stay. Overall, it's a 4 out of 5 stars rating for a small, value oriented motel.

This motel isn't bad they are quiet and cozy and the room are like a standard efficiency with out the stove. The owner and manger tammy is a nice and sweet lady that take great care and pride of her grounds and tenants. For the money and location u cant find a better place to lay ur head. Ive been to a lot of motel and hotel but red rock will be one of my go to places in any time of need or relaxation. Coming into the ground u have front door access to ur room there are smoking area for u outside and even a laundry mat that u can wash ur clothes. This place is kid friendly and kids are allowed to play with an open view and grounds that is safe cars dont drive thru at unsafe speeds cuz everything is open and areas where kids are arw safe. Red Rock gets my vote and they gained a loyal tenant.

Very nice stay. Rooms are very basic. You get mini fridge flat screen TV that mounts on wall and microwave. The owner is very nice, and is always there If you need her. They have weekly rates and it's a nice drive up hotel. We liked being able to park right by our room. The room itself was sorta dirty. All hard word floor so you're feet will get gross but that's to be expected since it can be hard to clean. I loved that they had community laundry, especially after staying for a week and having 3 kid's I needed to get laundry done which was a nice feature. They offer monthly rates as well for ppl looking not sure the price on that though. Our weekly was $365 plus taxes so I'm sure way more than that. Also very quiet which we loved. The guests just stayed to themselves. We never seen any cops there so not sure what others were talking about in previous reviews It seemed very safe to us. Only thing I would change or offer is maybe a mini playground since there seemed to be a lot of children there and some stay even months at a time. Also the location sucks so make sure you have a car. It's right off a busy hwy with no where to really walk too. Overall enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe and cheap stay. :)
