This hotel was our favorite stay in Minneapolis, and actually maybe anywhere. Immaculately clean rooms and common areas. It smelled clean even, which is not always the case in a lot of hotels. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Restaurant in the hotel had delicious breakfast. Their dinner menu looked good, but we didn't eat there. It felt secure and safe. Very convenient that the skyway is right there and we could go right to our event at the Target Center from there without walking in the cold MN outside. Would definitely stay here again, every time we go to the cities! We highly recommend!
