During your Minneapolis vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Minnesota Zoo
You'll see most of the exotic animals you expect at the 485-acre Minnesota Zoo, including tigers, camels, dolphins, and monkeys. But this zoo includes an especially nice array of North American animals, including wolves, bison, pumas, and wolverines. During the summer the zoo's working Wells Fargo Family Farm engages visitors with hands-on exhibits and teaches how food travels from the farm to the grocery store shelves. There's also an IMAX theater, and a monorail offering great aerial views. Allow 2 hours.
Minnesota Museum of American Art
The Twin Cities' only museum dedicated solely to American art, the MMAA has been around for over 30 years, but its new Riverfront Gallery, which opened in 2004, makes the museum feel new. Works range from the mid-19th century to the present with a special emphasis on Minnesota and regional artists. Frequent special exhibitions are popular and also focus on American and regional themes. Allow 1 hour.
Mississippi River Visitor Center
Located inside the entrance to the Science Museum of Minnesota , the Mississippi River Visitor Center is operated by the National Park Service and designed to educate visitors about the Mississippi National River & Recreation Area. Park rangers can assist travelers with planning outdoor excursions, including canoe and riverboat trips, hiking, biking, and birding. If you're at all outdoorsy, it's worth a stop.

Very efficient

Location was good from the airport and to several companies in the area.

The Best Western Normandy Inn & City Place Suites, MINNEAPOLIS, MN was very comforable with lots of room. The location was convenient to get to. The check-in and help was efficient. Overall, the hotel was a good value.

Good Spot for Business

Anonymous, Chicago, IL, 2007-03-08

Downtown location gives access to good dining and activities.

One could see that it is a step up from an ordinary hotel. Location was a bit less than secure in feeling but the security seemed to be good. Clean and nice appeal to the place inside.

Pool facilities a treat

Anonymous, 2007-02-11

Not sure where the nearest point to the skyway system is, so be sure to ask the front desk if the weather is bad.

The Normandy is a comfortable place to stay, with spacious rooms at a good price. The pool, jacuzzi and suana, all located in a multi story atrium were a real treat.

Good price and comfortable room

Anonymous, San Francisco, CA, 2005-10-03

Metrodome is close by and light rail is super-close by.

I stayed here for the Twin Cities Marathon - so this was a great location just a short jog to the start line (there are shuttles to bring you back to Minneapolis from St. Paul). There wasn't much food in the immediate neighborhood (especially on the weekend) but you can jump on light rail 1 stop to get to a lot of selection.

Great ambiance

Anonymous, Lincoln, NE, 2005-09-12

Metrodome was a short walk from the hotel.

The Best Western Normandy Inn was very comfortable, the room seemed much larger than most other hotel rooms. I liked the fact they had a recliner in the room, so we could watch T.V. and not have to lay on the bed. The best feature was the Musak, which was played throughout the Hotel. The location was excellent, within a short walking distance to the Metrodome in Minneapolis.

Complimentary parking...

Charles, Long Beach, CA, 2005-08-21

This property is close (about 8-10 blocks) to Hennepin St where theatres, assorted dining options and nightclubs are abundant.

...was the best feature of this property. The HVAC system was antiquated and therefore the temperature was never comfortable. Perhaps I'm unclear on the current definition of a three star hotel, this rating seems undeserved.

Great Convention Connection

Cynthia, Tirana, 2005-08-17

Within walking distance from the Convention Center. Clean rooms, friendly environment, nice pool, exercise room, laundry facilities. Best part warm cookies and milk in the lounge in the evening. What a great concept.

A Disappointment

Anonymous, 2005-07-31

The News Room is a great place for dinner. It's located on Nicolet Mall. There are tables along the sidewalk for outdoor dining during the summertime.

We arrived at the hotel late on a Wednesday evening and were told that the keyless entry system was not working so one of the desk clerks had to let us in our room. We were to check back around noon on Thursday to get our keys. Any time we went out and came back, we had to wait for someone from the front desk to let us back into our room. This went on until late on Friday when we finally got keys to our room. The most disappointing thing about this experience was that the staff didn't seem very concerned about the inconvenience this was to the guests.

Never the Ligh Rail

Ted, 2005-07-30

Light Rail connection for frequent and inexpensive connections to the airport.

The Normandy benefits from being only three blocks from the Light Rail that connects frequently, quickly (less than half-hour travel time) and inexpensively ($2 during rush hour, $1.50 the rest of day) The hotel is only a short walk from attractions in downtown Minneapolis. It is a good value. The hotel's main drawback is the lack of places to eat within easy walking distance. The hotel serves breakfast but no other meals.
