Meh...
The room was nice and about what I would expect for the price. There were issues with the valet and some of the staff seemed bothered to help. There were also additional charges placed on the bill that were taken care of yet made me really question what was going on at the hotel. Location is not bad.

Love this Hotel!!!
This is located downtown Minneapolis. We pulled right up to the valet parking and they unloaded our car and took our luggage up to the lobby. We arrived prior to check-in but the staff let us check in early and even gave us a room upgrade! I love how they have a wine reception at 5:00 pm. We also signed up on-line to be Kimpton members and received free wi-fi. The rooms were big and bright. Very clean and very comfy. I would recommend paying the extra $5 to $10 to use their valet parking instead of using a public lot. Just being able to call down and in 15 minutes they bring the car up for you is awesome.

We went to the Dakota Jazz Club which you can get to easily through the inside walk-ways or a couple of blocks walk out side. There is also good shopping along the walk-ways.

great stay for weekend getaway
Super friendly and helpful staff. Great location, within walking distance of Metrodome and many great restaurants. Walkable to art museums and sculpture garden. Very comfortable room, despite the awkward layout and dead space.

Very nice night
Checked in for a romantic birthday night for my wife. Room was clean and tidy with all the amenities. Would have liked to be able to fetch my own ice for bottle of wine that we brought along, but hotel has you request ice service. My wife especially liked the deep tub with built in wall television.

The staff members were personable and courteous. The bed was a bit too soft and restaurant hours limited, but still the best hotel stay I ever had.
