Countryside Inn Motel

Countryside Inn Motel puts the stay at the I-35 and I-90 intersection in Albert Lea, which is the clearest practical advantage for a road-trip stop.

Countryside Inn Motel is a motel, so the strongest fit is the simple drive-up style rather than a full-service hotel experience. The rooms are arranged as ground-floor units, and they have either one or two queen or full-size beds. Rooms also have private interior or exterior entrances, which keeps the setup straightforward when arriving with luggage from the car.

Inside the room, the confirmed details are practical: rooms include a refrigerator, free cable TV with HBO, and wireless internet. Some rooms also have microwaves. A king room option has a king bed and a sofa bed, plus a private bathroom with both a bath and a shower.

The stay works especially well by car because parking is placed at the door of the room. The motel also provides winter plug-ins for vehicles, a useful detail in Albert Lea during cold-weather travel. Complimentary continental breakfast is available, and WiFi is listed as an on-site service.

Dogs are welcome at Countryside Inn Motel, and the property has a grassy area for pet relief. The specific limit is that cats are not accepted; the pet policy allows dogs only. The overall picture is a modest Albert Lea motel with drive-up access, confirmed in-room basics, parking at the room, and a location built around highway access.
