The Spotlight on Residence Inn by Marriott Minneapolis Downtown/City Center

Spacious, Suite-Style Comfort in the Heart of Minneapolis

Residence Inn by Marriott Minneapolis Downtown/City Center offers a modern, home-away-from-home vibe right in the center of downtown. With spacious suites, some featuring full kitchens, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this 4-star hotel is perfect for travelers who want comfort and convenience just steps from Minneapolis’s biggest music venues.
Whether you’re catching a show at Target Field, U.S. Bank Stadium, or the Minnesota Orchestra, you’re never far from the action.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything—and this hotel nails it. You can walk to major concert venues in minutes, meaning no hassle with parking or rideshares. After the show, come back to a quiet, relaxed space thanks to soundproofed rooms and a calm, city-center setting. With a 24-hour front desk and flexible check-in at 4:00 PM and check-out at 12:00 PM, late nights and lazy mornings are no problem. Plus, free WiFi and a shared lounge make it easy to stream, recharge, or recap the night with friends.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want roomy suites and a central jumping-off point
  • Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list artist and wanting a safe, quiet base
  • Couples making a romantic weekend of it with downtown dining and shows
  • Fans needing a quiet recovery space after a high-energy concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value with perks like free breakfast and in-room kitchens

Food and Drink Options

Start your day (even after a late night) with a generous buffet breakfast included in your stay. While there’s no full-service restaurant onsite, many downtown eateries and late-night bites are within easy walking distance. Plus, select rooms include kitchens with a fridge, dishwasher, and microwave—perfect for pre-show snacks or post-show leftovers.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things chill, you’re just steps away from Minneapolis’s vibrant nightlife. Enjoy nearby bars, lounges, and clubs that cater to every vibe—from casual craft beer joints to upscale cocktail spots. If you're looking to wind down instead, the hotel’s stylish shared lounge is the perfect spot to relax with a drink or catch up with fellow concert-goers.

What People Say

Guests rave about the location, calling it “unbeatable for downtown concerts.” They love the spacious, clean rooms, friendly staff, and the convenience of having a kitchen when staying multiple nights. Travelers also appreciate the quiet atmosphere, even in the heart of the city, and say the free breakfast offers great value.

Areas for Improvement

A few guests noted that the decor could use a refresh in some rooms, and others mentioned that parking in the area can be a bit pricey or tricky to navigate. But overall, these are minor issues in an otherwise solid experience.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a Minneapolis concert and want spacious comfort just steps from the venue, Residence Inn by Marriott Minneapolis Downtown/City Center hits all the right notes.

Melissa L, Saint Cloud

We had a very positive experience with this hotel. The parking ramp we used was connected to the hotel so we didn't need to carry our luggage outside (it was snowing); the continental breakfast buffet was delicious and had something for everyone! The staff was very polite and helpful with getting us a ride to and from the hotel. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. I truly enjoyed the whole experience.

Liked: Excellent.

Okay for the price. But...

Liked: Space. The amount of space given for a lengthier stay is appreciated. Staff were all lovely! Appreciated the standalone computer in the lobby -- always good to have a plan B.
Disliked: Internet connection has to be more reliable. Breakfast station is mediocre for a hotel. But a warm meal is better than no meal. (Excellent choice of yogurt, though!)

Great stay and great location,...

Liked: It was in a great location, parking was $23 a day but it was a convenient walk to the hotel as you didn't have to leave the parking garage.The room was nice,the only thing I didn't like is that the shower head and bath tub had some rust.
