Very Impressive Accommodations

We were very pleased with our stay at this hotel. The room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet had some variation each day and the gentleman,who staffed it some days was very welcoming and friendly. We came to visit our daughter for Christmas and didn't spend a lot of time in the room. We did have some later morning departures and were pleased with how quiet the early mornings were. We did not ever feel the housekeeping staff was anxious for us to leave. We were very pleased with the gated hotel parking lot and having an assigned parking spot for the 5 days. We would highly recommend this hotel.

Exactly as expected!

This hotel was closer than the official conference hotel, and cost less money. Spacious room and bathroom. Near expressway but very quiet. Clean and well decorated room. No fridge in room, but a well stocked hot and continental breakfast, with changing hot items each morning.

Great place if you don't have to park

I'm a bit torn for this review - the room was immaculate and well maintained, breakfast was great, and the staff was friendly but parking was a major hassle. There is room for perhaps 12-16 cars and its first-come first-served. When I tried to park, the lot was full so I had to back my car into oncoming traffic (the hotel is at the end of a freeway off-ramp, so it was difficult to back out and then cross three lanes to the parking ramp across the street.) The parking ramp has no elevator so I had to schlepp luggage up three flights of stairs. Upon checking in, the internet service was extremely slow although the next morning it was zippy. If I was arriving by taxi and walking, I would gladly stay here again but not if I have to park a car.

Time-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

If you have a car, drop your luggage off first and THEN park across the street in the parking garage. When its time to leave, have the front desk watch your stuff while you retrieve your car.

Decent Value for the Price

The hotel was neat and clean with limited parking. There is a parking lot across the street that is convenient too. We enjoyed the proximity to restaurants, theatre and sporting venues. We didn't eat the hotel breakfast so I can't comment on it. I was disappointed in the poor internet service and lack of help from the hotel staff.

Excellent value & location

I was in town for a conference and this hotel was close to the site and way less expensive than the conference hotel. Room was nice, internet worked, breakfast had a nice variety of tasty stuff. Also within walking distance to lots of nice shops, etc. I took the light rail/bus from the airport to and fro, $1.75 each way, can't beat that. If I go to Minneapolis again I would definitely stay here!
