The Spotlight on Hilton Garden Inn Minneapolis University Area

Modern Comfort Steps from the Stage

Modern and polished, the Hilton Garden Inn Minneapolis University Area blends sleek design with a relaxed vibe, just a short walk from the heart of the University District. With stylish rooms, thoughtful amenities, and a location less than a mile from TCF Bank Stadium, this 4-star hotel is a smart pick for music fans looking to stay close to the action without sacrificing comfort.
Whether you're heading to a big stadium concert or checking out a local Minneapolis venue, the hotel keeps you connected—and comfortable—before and after the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is seriously close to TCF Bank Stadium and just a short ride from downtown hotspots like U.S. Bank Stadium and Target Field. That means less time commuting and more time enjoying the show. With a 24-hour front desk, concierge service, and free parking, it's easy to roll in late and still feel taken care of. The on-site bar and shared lounge offer a great space to wind down after the encore, and the quiet rooms with blackout curtains help you sleep in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a modern base near the venue
- Solo travelers ticking a major act off their bucket list
- Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
- Fans who crave quiet after the show
- Budget-conscious guests who still want 4-star comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up hearty bites, and you can grab a buffet breakfast to refuel after a night out. With room service available, you don’t need to leave your room if you’re recovering from a high-energy show. While there isn’t 24/7 dining, there are several casual food options nearby that stay open late, and the hotel bar is perfect for a pre- or post-concert drink.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things mellow, it’s close to vibrant local nightlife in downtown Minneapolis. You’ll find everything from craft cocktail lounges to live music venues just a short Uber or Lyft away. If you're looking to chill, the hotel’s own bar has a laid-back vibe and a few local brews on tap.

What People Say

Guests often highlight the clean, spacious rooms, helpful staff, and the hotel’s walkability to stadiums. Many appreciate the free parking and indoor pool as added bonuses. Travelers also note that the location offers a nice balance between access to the city and a quieter, more relaxed setting.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel doesn’t offer 24/7 room service, which might be a downside if you’re coming in very late and looking for a bite. Also, while it’s walkable to some venues, others like Target Field may require a short drive or ride-share.

The Bottom Line

If you're catching a show in Minneapolis and want a modern hotel that’s close to the action but quiet enough to recharge, Hilton Garden Inn Minneapolis University Area hits the right note.

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Donna, Madison WI Wed, 26 March 2025

My room had 24/7 mechanical clunking intermittent noises which drove me crazy. Asked about another room but place was full. Asked for walking directions at desk multiple times, but got almost totally wrong answers. Had diamond level but paid for breakfast and internet which apparently would have been free. Asked about a business center for computer access but didn't have one. Listing said place had shuttles but I found out it was only to/from hospitals - would be nice to have online listings say this because I needed it and it helped me decide to stay there. Ate at breakfast "buffet" and half the items were empty, so unavailable. One poor person was running ragged trying to serve guests and do food and drink, and it was too much. No plates or silver for buffet. I could go on and on...if I am up there again I will look your place up :)

Liked: It was a place to stay on short notice which I appreciated.
Disliked: People at desk?

Charlene Sun, 1 June 2025

The reason for being in...

Liked: The property was clean and the staff was very helpful. We had breakfast in the restaurant every morning and Victoria went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. It was a great start to our day to have Victoria as our server! She definitely cares about the guests and wants to make sure that they are taken care of!
Disliked: Parking spots are small and very few of them. Coming back to the hotel after 3pm made it very difficult to park.
