The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Minneapolis-Golden Valley by IHG

Comfort-First Stay Near Minneapolis Music Action

Modern and welcoming, the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Minneapolis-Golden Valley offers a convenient base just off Interstate 394—only a short drive from downtown Minneapolis and top music venues. With a casual, relaxed vibe and thoughtful amenities like free Wi-Fi and a daily hot breakfast buffet, it’s a great choice for travelers who want both comfort and access.
Whether you're hitting a sold-out show or planning a weekend music trip, this hotel puts you close to the action without the downtown hustle.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans appreciate the hotel’s easy access to downtown—less than 5 miles away—making it simple to reach major concert venues by car or rideshare. After the show, enjoy a peaceful night's sleep away from the buzz of the city center. With a 24-hour check-in desk and late check-out available (subject to availability), the hotel works around your show schedule. Free parking is a bonus for those driving in.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a show and needing shared space and amenities
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list artist with peace of mind and comfort
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans wanting quiet recovery time post-concert without downtown noise
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality and convenience

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a free daily hot breakfast—perfect for recovering after a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant or bar, the nearby Shops at West End (just minutes away) feature a range of dining options, including late-night bites. In-room coffeemakers and outdoor BBQ facilities add to the flexibility for DIY meals or snacks.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is on the quieter side, it’s a quick drive or rideshare to Minneapolis’s vibrant bar and club scene, making it easy to keep the party going after the encore. Prefer a low-key night? The peaceful surroundings of Golden Valley are great for winding down.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s cleanliness, friendly staff, and comfortable beds. The free breakfast and ample parking are also major perks. Many past visitors highlight the hotel’s quiet location as a big plus after a night out.

Areas for Improvement

This isn't a party hotel—so if you're looking for loud vibes or an on-site bar, you might find it a bit too calm. Some guests mention that while the location is close to downtown, you'll likely need to drive or grab a rideshare to reach most venues or nightlife.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a Minneapolis concert and want a quiet, comfortable, and convenient place to recharge, the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Minneapolis-Golden Valley hits all the right notes.

Overbooked but still nice just...

Liked: The room was nice, clean and the staff were friendly. We were only there for sleeping. The free breakfast was really good.
Disliked: They “overbooked” due to extended stay guests staying longer so we didn’t get a room with a couch bed. They didn’t have a roll out bed to offer. Luckily, one of our guests decided not to stay otherwise someone would have had to sleep on the floor and there were no other rooms available. The gave us a lower rate. Overall it was good enough with 2 queen beds.

Poor

Liked: The breakfast was decent. The majority of the hotel was clean, and the staff tried to be helpful.
Disliked: They put us in a room that had plastic on the outside of the windows. They were doing construction, hammering, and scrapping on the walls. They worked until about five the first night, then was back at it in the a.m. I like the holiday Inn, I'm even a member. I told my wife to book us a room, she didn't remember we were members here so she booked through your company. I don't know if that's where the problem was. But it sure didn't save us any money booking through your website either way. The construction made this the most unpleasant experience I've ever had with a Holiday Inn.

The train at 1:30am was...

Liked: Location to downtown Minneapolis.
Disliked: We found random drugs under the sofa (pills and gummys). We were traveling with our 2 year old. So this was a bit disturbing. Luckily we found them before he did.
