The cabin seems to have not been cleaned well or sanitized well prior to our visit. There was rice all over the end tables, with ants going after it. We also found rice on the floor and in the couch (I took pics/video). The floors in the kitchen and bathroom did not appear to be swept or mopped. There was an old “sanitized” wrapper over one toilet which had clearly been reused repeatedly.
Additionally, this is a part of a larger facility, and check in has to be completed at the front desk of the hotel. Minnesota is under a mandatory mask requirement. None of the staff were wearing masks and not practicing any form of physical distancing or other precautions. Additionally the staff was not enforcing guest masks in any of the common areas.
Based on the staff not complying with health guidelines and the condition of our cabin, I highly doubt there was any form of sanitation of the cabin that took place between the previous guest, which according to the staff had only checked out a couple hours prior. The owners don’t appear to care about the health and safety of their guests.
In addition to my other cleanliness and pandemic related comments, the entire cabin is tired and run down and everything felt dingy and highly outdated. The place needs both a super deep clean and an update. Key points include carpets, the couches, the bathroom, and the kitchen.
