Hotel review: Americinn, Winona MN

To find the Americinn in Winona, just follow the main drag across the lake (Huff St.) all the way to the end. It technically isn’t under the Mississippi River bridge, but you could hit a 9-iron over the bridge from the hotel parking lot. There’s even a convenience store right next door in case you need anything convenient.

It was what you’d want from a normal hotel stay. Room clean, air conditioner actually cooled the room to desired temperature, no glitches with anything. Mattress may have sloped a bit into center, but otherwise was comfortable. Hot tub was moderate hot, not the kind where you boil yourself ala lobster.

Breakfast was a good spread – large bagels, fresh muffins, a waffle maker, quick-fix french toast and eggs, cereal, oranges, yogurt. Plenty of choices, not just a platter of rolls. Open 6-10 am.

Lots of bikers and fishermen in for the holiday weekend.
