Best Western Alexandria Inn

In Alexandria, MN — minutes from Lake Andrew and a short drive to the Runestone Museum and Big Ole Viking Statue. The hotel sits close to local draws like Carlos Creek Winery and Andes Tower Hills ski area, with easy access to Alexandria Technical College and Douglas County Hospital.

Newly remodeled and comfort-forward, this 47-room Alexandria hotel pairs pillowtop beds with practical tech — LCD TVs, MP3 docking stations and some rooms with refrigerators. Expect a warm lobby fireplace, accessible rooms, and pet-friendly options with an outdoor patio for furry companions.

Family-friendly recreation is front and center: an indoor pool, hot tub/spa tub and sauna, plus a 24-hour fitness center. On-property fun includes mini-golf, a bowling club and a picnic area. Free self and RV/truck parking and a 24-hour front desk keep stays easy.

Complimentary high-speed wired and wireless internet, a 24-hour business center and express check-in make this a solid pick for business travelers who need to stay connected.

Start mornings with a complimentary hot/cold buffet — pastries, yogurt, fresh fruit, waffles and 100% Arabica coffee or juice. There’s also an on-site bar for evening drinks after a day exploring the lakes or slopes.
