The Spotlight on Courtyard by Marriott Minneapolis Downtown

Comfort and Convenience Minutes from Minneapolis Music Venues

Modern and welcoming, the Courtyard by Marriott Minneapolis Downtown sits near the Mississippi River in the heart of the city. With sleek interiors, practical amenities, and quick access to major roads and concert venues, it's a smart pick for travelers coming to catch a show. Guest rooms feature free WiFi, 32-inch flat-screen TVs, and plush bedding, all designed to help you relax and recharge.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a short drive or quick rideshare from hotspots like Target Field, Guthrie Theater, and TCF Bank Stadium, this hotel puts you close to the action without being in the middle of the noise. Soundproofed rooms offer a quiet space to wind down after a loud night. With convenient access to Interstates 35 and 94, getting to and from your show is hassle-free. The flexible 3:00 PM check-in means you can settle in pre-show, while the 11:00 AM checkout gives you a bit more time to rest the next day.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for a central meetup spot
Solo travelers checking off a dream concert
Couples making a weekend out of it
Fans who prefer a quiet place to crash
Budget-conscious travelers who still want style and comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Courtyard Bistro serves American favorites for breakfast and dinner, perfect for pre- or post-concert meals. While there's no 24/7 room service, you can stock up at the gift shop with drinks and snacks. Late-night cravings? You're close to downtown staples and fast eats, many within walking distance or a short drive.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no live music in the hotel itself, its prime location gives you quick access to Minneapolis’ buzzing nightlife. Bars, clubs, and lounges are just a short ride away. Prefer to keep it mellow? The Bistro bar offers a relaxed vibe and local craft drinks.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern rooms and how easy it is to get to shows. Many mention the friendly service and great views of the city or river. The hotel’s location near the University of Minnesota and key venues makes it a favorite for concert-goers and sports fans alike.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the parking garage can be tight and a bit pricey. While the hotel doesn’t offer free breakfast, the on-site Bistro helps fill the gap. A few guests mentioned the lack of microwaves in rooms, so plan ahead if you’re bringing late-night leftovers.

The Bottom Line

With its modern comfort, central location, and easy access to Minneapolis’ best music venues, Courtyard by Marriott Minneapolis Downtown is a solid home base for your next concert night out.

Very Good - 4.0 out of 5

Terry, W, visiting U.S. Bank Stadium Sun, 6 August 2023

Check in and out were great - David was great at check in. If that area got cleaned up I would recommend to others to stay. I am surprised no security was evident.

Liked: Great room with great view.
Disliked: Towels not changed out, was informed at desk, so only every other day. Your location is convenient but like location of US Bank Stadium it is really too bad. My wife was severely traumatized by many sketchy incidents of locals shooting up and frightening us with their comments.
