Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that parking can be a little tight, and while the hotel is near venues, you may still need a short drive or ride to get downtown. Also, there's no bar on-site, so pre-game drinks will have to wait until you're out and about.

We enjoyed our stay and...

Liked: We especially enjoyed the rooftop bar! In general, this hotel is a great place to stay and we would stay here again.
Disliked: There seemed to be a shortage of staff. We checked in at the neighboring hotel. But that seems to be the case everywhere and didn't affect our stay at all.

Pleasant

Liked: Clean nice room.
Disliked: Terrible location to get into. Very dissatisfied with fact that we had to pay for parking. The parking lot was on the hotel property so they are just taking advantage of their customers by charging to park.

Close to UofM hospital

Liked: The room was huge. Very comfortable. We were in the area for Dr appts at the UofM pediatric clinic.
Disliked: The pool was different. You can see in from the parking. And people were out there the whole time looking in.

It was comfortable and quiet...

Liked: Loved the variety of breakfast options!
Disliked: WiFi went down for the last two days we were there and I needed it for my work trip. On a lesser note, I was hoping the rooftop bar/dining was open more than three nights of the week since it didn’t overlap with my trip at all.

So happy I selected this...

Liked: The staff was phenomenal, the rooms were huge, breakfast was included each morning, beds were extremely comfortable, location was perfect and close to everything. Bathroom was a good decent size, there were plenty of towels, wash cloths etc.. This was my first time staying at one of their hotels and I now will add this to my list of where to book my clients as a travel agent. I give them a 10/10! Close to US Bank Stadium, The mall of America, The airport, University of Minnesota etc.
Disliked: Small parking lot and fees.

This is a good, safe...

Liked: On-site covered and garage parking available, good options for a variety of breakfast on-site, semi-speedy elevators, and Metro access.
Disliked: The king bed could be more comfortable, if you like a harder mattress this is an excellent choice. The rooms are not well insulated, and sounds travel from adjoining rooms.
