Stay here when we are visiting Sherwin Williams, it's an ideal business hotel with a great location for anything downtown. Clean rooms and experienced staff, it isn't cheap but is great if you are planning to be downtown. They have nice conference spaces, a restaurant, bar and free parking. The gym and pool are on the 14th floor and has a great view of downtown. This hotel is close to the stadium and plenty of dining options. You can walk anywhere, but the tram stop is only 2 blocks away. Would definitely stay here anytime. read more

Great location in Minneapolis that is close to many attractions. We enjoyed our stay here and experienced very friendly and helpful service. The onsite parking garage was very convenient. We enjoyed drinks and a meal at the restaurant bar that was delicious. The room was spacious and very clean. It was a great stay and we will be back the next time we are staying in Minneapolis. read more

This review is just for meeting rooms. Pass through the lobby and note the bar with coffee on the way to the many meeting and banquet rooms. We found the room very comfortable, including the folding chairs. Well lid without glaring lights, diffusion works great in this setting. Large screen for slides and loud speakers everyone could hear. About as perfect as it could get. read more

Great location... clean lobby and rooms and many areas to target with friends!! The bar area is really big with various seating type options. Our room was on the 7th floor and great view and lighting read more

Had booked my stay to be close to US Bank stadium for the Metallica concert. I did not pay close enough attention to the location. I am usually able to walk comfortably to and from venues. The hotel itself was very nice and comfortable but I had a great deal of difficulty getting a ride back to the hotel after the concert. Just inconvenient otherwise no concerns. read more

The hotel is right off the freeway and easy to spot. It's a 15 story building and the staff is friendly. They have covered parking with security access. Safe and clean. The pool and workout room is in the 14th floor. They serve coffee as early as 06:30 hours. Elevators are fast and efficient. read more

I attended the . Melcher :Standiford grooms dinner on August 15 . The venue was lovely , good room temp. , pristine linens , beautiful suspended lights and draping . We had an open bar with a good bartender ....and that's where it ends . The food served was an absolute embarrassment. A cheese platter accompanied by stale or soggy crackers , undercooked pizza , Al dente pasta ? No , undercooked pasta ! There was a wilted and brown edged salad and the worst of all over cooked , dry inedible chicken . No member of the management checked in to see or "manage " the food ! As a member of the bridal party, I and my family were mortified to feed this food to our family . The majority of our family travelled long and far to be at this event spending no less than 2 nights per family at the hotel . 20 rooms were booked . My point , we spent a great deal of $$$$ on this event . We complained to the manager on Monday . His response was an apology . No offer of any compensation . Our family went out to eat after this event ! It's a beautiful hotel just don't use their food services for your events . read more

Everything. Customer service and hospitality, transparency and a little integrity. Don't trick people into booking longer stays and put them in the shittiest rooms stacked on top of each other. Clean the freaking rooms without an attitude when a guest requests it. read more

Courtyard by Marriott Minneapolis Downtown - Dusty tv that doesn't work right- it's the "antennas". Dead remote batteries needed to be replaced. - Hotels Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Very clean and inviting rooms. Front desk staff was very welcoming when I checked in and each time I past thru the lobby. Had a nice breakfast at the bistro and the 2 guys (brothers) working also very helpful and friendly. Nice location to UMN and go parking lot. read more

We worked with the hotel, Dee specifically, to block rooms for our family who were coming into town for a memorial service. Dee was amazing, great communication! The hotel was centrally located to all our events. The rooms were clean, spacious and appropriately appointed. The service in the lobby for both breakfast and dinner was great. The team members were very friendly and did a great job for us. read more

We arrived late on a rainy night and the person working the front desk was so friendly! He explained the parking garage situation to me with a lot of patience. The room was your basic accommodation, there was nothing fancy about it. They have plenty of spots for charging cables which we appreciated. I was a bit disappointed by the breakfast set up. I was led to believe they had a real restaurant but it was a stand at the register to order from the selected menu. I'm gluten sensitive so there were some options but not as many as I would have liked. The food we got was hot and fresh though so even with the different ordering it came through. We were in the area for a college visit, so depending on how things turn out, we could be staying here on a regular basis. read more

Stayed here twice now. Definitely would recommend. Hotel staff is nice. Very accommodating. Hotel was very clean. read more

This review is based only on the 6 hours we stayed overnight at this hotel. Given our very short stay, this hotel pretty much exceeded everything we would need for a good night sleep and a great morning shower before check-out. First off, this is probably the nicest Courtyard we've ever stayed at. Everything is new and clean and you can't beat the location right next to the Vikings' stadium. Big comfy bed and nice shower with good water pressure. The only thing bad I'd say is that they don't offer the complimentary water bottles in the room. In return, they have an iced water jug in the lobby so it's all good. Definitely recommend and will stay again if we're ever in the area. read more

So everything about this experience annoyed me. First of all I was traveling with a person in a wheelchair and not one staff member offered any extra help, not even with the doors (which weren't working properly) to the fact that there is no room service and our room was not cleaned to even a "no tell" motels standards. Bar glasses with lime left on dresser, blood on tub, sticky, crumb strewn counter top. Overall this was a horrible visit to a city that we love. read more

Great hotel for business/relaxation. I stayed here for a work-related convention at the U.S Bank Stadium. There is a bar area in the lobby, and a breakfast area with a Starbucks where you can order a la carte items. Breakfast is not included. I will say however, that the breakfast items are great. I had the avocado toast, and it was great! Clean rooms and a large TV with a couch which allows for plenty of space. My room overlooked the Minneapolis skyline/stadium which was great. There are also a plethora of pubs/restaurants that are well within walking distance. Parking is also very reasonable. read more

I came here for my stay in Minneapolis this May and enjoyed the location and room. The lobby was nice and clean and the bar was nice, but seemed a bit lite on the selections. The room was very nice with a large flat screen, hide away desk and convenient AC outlets, right by the bed for your phone. I didnt the view I got, but then again, I wasnt on vacation. The shampoo they provided was Paul Mitchell, so that was impressive and the bathroom, seemed like a standard business hotel. I did eat at the bar one night. I ordered the fish (I think halibut -the special), which was really good, but a VERY small portion of fish. I was still so starved afterwards, that I had to order another main dish. I ordered the Margarita pizza, which was OK, but had so much Parmesan, which I didnt see on the menu, nor was I asked. It was also baked in.. not a typical Margarita pizza. I was hungry so I ate it anyway. The bartender was nice and friendly though. I also went down one day, at 6:30 to get coffee from the Bar and even though they only open at 6:45, they were gracious enough to serve me coffee, but did say they had to wait to serve food. Suited me fine, since I just wanted coffee. If you go to the bar at 7 or 8AM, the line is ridiculous. I tried one day and just left. Overall, good hotel with great location, right by the highway 35. read more

Not much else to say about this one. Everything went just right from the room to the service. Hospitality is something rare and I at the very least got some. At no point was I irritated, displeased nor inconvenienced. The only thing that could be better is either the weather or the fact that I will have to leave eventually. If you want an excellent hotel and an excellent location then this will be for you. Yeah sure there are better hotels with fancier accommodations such as the 10k a night hotels in New York. But for a hotel chain this is a new high. Effort will make any hotel good or great. read more

It would've been nice if they were honest about the location! Being unfamiliar with the location we just took a Lift to take us thinking it WAS near the airport; not. Even worse, there are NO stores in the area & the hotel had no little gift shop or anything. The entire block across the street had orange stickers...the whole block condemned. The restaurant next door thank God was fantastic. Absolutely nothing to do and we had an entire day to kill. The saving grace was most of the staff, especially Chandler Oja and Luigi Franco; the bar tender and I'm thinking a concierge of sorts. My daughter was planning on getting her wedding card there, but no stores around and with the graffiti it didn't feel safe to walk & see. BUT, the concierge rode ON his bike to go and get her a card!!! THESE rooms should NOT be as high priced as other Marriott Hotels. Definitely not up to their standards. Sorry we chose that one. read more

I stayed here when this hotel was a Holiday Inn, and it is much nicer now. There are gigantic TVs in the rooms and the furnishings/decor/bedding are modern and nicer than most comparable hotels. They have a pool and a 24-hour fitness room, and if you need to do any business you can print for free from the four computers in the lobby. The only downside that I have noticed is that there is no room service. They suggest that you can order from the bistro menu provided and go down to the lobby to pick up your order in a little while (?!), but that doesn't seem to make much sense to me. Overall, though, the room itself is really nice for a hotel of this class, and you will have nice views of the surrounding areas from higher floors. read more

Really nice- great location with lots of restaurants around- and they are super clean. They allow dogs- which we did not have. Their restaurant is good. read more

I am a little late in writing this review. We stayed at this Courtyard in March, right before the shutdown due to Covid. We have stayed at this location in the past because we like that it's conveniently close to University of Minnesota Hospital. When you have a 6 am appointment and when you just don't know what the weather and traffic gods have in store for that day, it's comforting to know that you can stay less than 5 minutes away. First thing is first...a huge shoutout to Justice, who checked us in. HE. IS. FABULOUS! Perioddtt. Courteous and funny and so professional. He was so cheerful and that huge smile of his made us feel so welcomed. Staff like him are invaluable when it comes to guests feeling welcomed and appreciated. And that alone will keep customers coming back again and again. The hotel itself doesn't feel like a typical Courtyard either. It feels more like a full service Marriott. Great large space, great modern and chic decor, huge entrance, huge front desk and huge bar. Our room was also super spacious, super clean and our bed soooooo comfy! It's no secret that I love Marriott properties because they make you feel valued as a guest. I love consistent service and this Courtyard does not dissapoint. A+ read more

I only stayed here for one night but had a good experience. The hotel was very clean and staff was helpful and friendly.

No fridge in my room, that's what lead to one of the most strange hotel visits I have had in a long time. I will start off by saying that I'm very happy that I was not the one paying for this hotel stay. I was sent here for work to attend a conference at a location very close to this hotel. One of the main reasons it was so booked this week. I arrived and was checked in quickly. I was told at the front desks parking was not included in the room price. To which I said fine to add it to my room bill. I was told this was done however when I checked out I found out that my card that I was told was for incidental fees, like if I had ordered a movie or room service or something was used. I directly instructed the front desk person to add the 68$ parking cost to my room bill (my business credit card on file) This kind of was the icing on the cake to the whole experience that I will now explain. So after my deceiving check in , I get to my room. Nice enough. 2 queen beds even tho I was alone. I check to see how big the fridge is. Opening the door, no fridge. I'm going to be there a week so I called down. Let them now what happens and asked if I could have a king size bed and a room with a fridge. The say thy found me a room so I go down. Get my other key and move my stuff to the new room. Room swap Get to the new room, before going further. I open the fridge door, guess what? Yep. No fridge. But I was told it was there for sure. Just to make sure I was not losing my shit I made sure it was the right room and checked again. Needless to say it was not a magic invisible fridge. So I called down again. Let them know what's up, was told they have another room. It's a suite and bigger and better. Cool maybe I'll get a room with a fridge and even a bit swanky. Room swap again. The manager on staff brought my key up to me. I moved to the new room and the first thing I noticed was a very unpleasant smell. I have a very sensitive nose and I know what this smell was. It was puke. I called down and let them know I wanted someone to come up here and spray or find out what was going on and it was pretty horrible but at this point I had been moved 2 times I kind of just wanted to have them spray and hopefully it would be gone. They sent a staff member to come spray, she did what she could. I left went to eat. Came back to a horrible warmed over Juke smell floating around the room. I had to get to sleep. I cranked the ac to just keep the air moving. I woke up several times that night. At one point 430 am. I decided to find where this smell was coming from and I did. The end of the bed right near the ends on the carpet. My theory is that someone had a wild night I this room had an accident and then cleaned it up themselfs to avoid a costly hotel fee to clean the room. That morning I receive a call, from the front desk asking about the Oder issue to which I tell them. It's puke. It's at the end of the bed. See if you an have someone clean it up or have a new room ready for me when I come back after 5 pm. I went to my conference. Come back to the same horrible smell and go down to the front desk and ask them if they have a room for me to which I'm told yes. Room 828. Or as I call it my last room. For those keeping count this will be the 4th hotel room I move into it. I arrive in my room, to a message left by the manager Phil. No puke smell. Bottles of water in the fridge that is not imaginary. Phil's message is apologetic, he informs me that I have earned free breakfast for the remaining day of my stay. ( which if I had paid for myself would have cost about 50$) so that was welcome and I took full advantage of this perk because hey. I stayed in the puke room a whole night. You owe me some eggs and bacon at this point son. The one part about that offer that I found a bit short sighted was I would not be able to take advantage of my free breakfast the morning of my checkout because at 430 am the cooking staff was not up. They start cooking at 630 am. Knowing this I ran into Phil the night before and said thanks for the free meals you know it would be nice to do dinner tonight since I leave so early I the morning. I know this request was a bit out of sorts but look I got moved 3 times. One room had a puke smell that when I found its source almost made me puke which would have started a puke chain reaction across the hotel. Also let's not mention that this hotel room for 4 nights was almost $1,000 yes 1k for this and horrible , 3rd world quality wireless internet that was pretty much worthless. Anyways, side tacked. I found Phil let him know I'm leaving to early and if I could do dinner tonight instead of breakfast. Phil had a bowl of soup he was taking up the elevator most likely to Make up for some other short coming this hotel granted upon a paying customer. I don't remember what he said but it pretty much sounded like I can't make they decision. If you read this whole thing thanks! Stay elsewhere. read more

Parking isn't the best, but after that is sorted out, you are in for a treat. The lobby is huge. It's very open and highlights a nice lounge area, complete with a bar and tables for additional seating. The rooms are generously sized and are quite modern in appearance. I always love a good hotel bathroom and this was quite beautiful with the glass shower and sleek design. The bed was soooo pillowy and dream inducing. Perfect after walking the surrounding area and taking in the nightlife! The hotel has a very central location by many cool bars and restaurants. Wildlife bonus: I saw a flock of turkeys holding up traffic :) I love MN! read more

It's a freakin' landmark! A Holiday Inn - are you kidding me? You can see it on the aerial view of Google Maps just nanometers from the Metrodome. What, you ask, is the best thing about this place? Every single cabbie I have ever come across knows where this place is. Why is this so fantastic? I live across the street. I never have to try to explain to someone where to drop me off / find me. Okay. In all seriousness, I did stay there for a couple of nights when I was visiting Minneapolis and deciding whether I wanted to commit the following 3 years in the city. Value factors: Clean rooms. Fabulous downtown Minneapolis at night skyline. Nice indoor pool with whirlpool & sauna on oh-so-high 14th floor. In-room internet Sweet location in terms of 5 min (with their free shuttle if you like) to downtown or across the Mississip to Dinkytown or light-rail station. Surprising ritzy for what I'm used to in a Holiday Inn. I would have given them 4 stars, but they tacked on some $15 breakfasts that we supposedly ordered onto the bill and we had to take the time to straighten that mess out as we were trying to get out of Dodge. read more

Worst customer service ever!! This hotel is under construction which is fine. I do not care if I can't use the pool or the fitness center, but when they start hammering at 9 a.m. I have a problem. I am normally not the type to complain, but after two days of driving all the way from Houston all I wanted to do was sleep. So I call the receptionist and she had the worst attitude. She told me, "We start construction at 9 a.m., it is now 50 minutes after 9." so basically deal with it... I DO NOT CARE WHAT TIME IT IS!!! If it's 3:00 p.m. and I want to sleep, I want to sleep, period. She then went on to tell me , " It is on the Priceline website that we are under construction." I honestly had no idea the hotel was under construction when I booked the room because I booked it through my phone. I should have done better research. My fault. I still do not appreciate attitude. I would have rather she lied and said she would try and figure something out. Instead she argued with me to the point that I just hung up on her. Then after I hung up on her the hammering stopped for about an hour. So she could have made it go away but instead of trying she was rude. At that point I couldn't go back to sleep anymore and then hammering began again. The hammering was so bad we had to leave the hotel. Even with the hammering I would have not given a bad review had the receptionist been more understanding. read more

My husband and I had a wonderful stay here while visiting the University. Our room had an amazing rounded window view of the skyline, and despite the wall of windows, the shades kept the lights out until we were ready to get up each morning. The bed was very soft, but even my husband (a Sleep Number(TM) 100) found it comfortable! This place allows you to choose between 3 types of pillows- down, memory foam, or synthetic. It also has free wireless, something all hotels should have but don't. The shower was lovely, with great water pressure. The restaurant on the 1st floor is very reasonable, and makes a delicious breakfast with bottomless coffee refills. The portions are enormous. I had the blueberry pancakes one day, the parfait with granola and fruit another. Yum! The staff at the front desk were absolutely awesome. When I mentioned that my husband would love a bag of green tea they sent up a whole sack of many kinds of teabags! When it was pouring rain they had the hotel driver take us to our restaurant for free. I do feel like the hotel is a bit isolated apart from getting to the university, so you may want to rent a car while staying here, or ask the front desk to have the van pull around and take you where you need to go. On a nice day it's a very walkable distance to the light rail. My only complaint is that nobody cleaned our room during our stay- although there was only one day we weren't in there during the rounds. read more

In the interest of full disclosure, I worked here for about 2 years when I was in college as a bellman/shuttle driver. The rooms are decent, nothing spectacular, same goes for the restaurant. The best part of this hotel is the location, it's right next door to my favorite brewery in the Cities, Town Hall Brewery. For those coming from out of town, Town Hall Brewery has great homemade craft beers on tap along with excellent food (for a brewery). This is very close to the Cedar Avenue bars (Triple Rock, Red Sea, etc) and down from the Cabooze which is great for local music. One very nice facet of this hotel is the free shuttle, which provides service within 3-5 miles of the hotel which includes the U of MN, downtown, and even Uptown if they're slow. read more

You know what? This is a perfectly fine Hotel. Pretty much everything you want and I'd give it 4 stars if not for one major problem - THERE IS NO WIFI. Let me re-phrase that. Yes, there is WiFi, but it's so unbelievably slow that it's silly to even mention it exists. I've spent 3 days on a borrowed phone as the only way to get online. Not cool guys. It's not really that hard to get real internet in the rooms, k? read more

Was there recently for a wedding with my wife and two children (age 18 mo and 2 yrs). We called ahead several times to request our room be ready early, if at all possible, a the wedding would be over around noon and a nap for the boys is crucial. Got there at 12:30, they said check back in hour. Had a nice lunch across the street and checked back at 2:00...they said come back in 20 min. Checked back at 2:20, they said check back at 3. Finally, I got in the car and drive the kids around to get them a nap before the reception while my wife waited for room, when at 3 they again said to check back in 20 minutes. Note that every other guest got a room immediately around this time, while my two rambunctious kids are starting to melt down.... Room was finally ready at 4:15!!! After numerous complaints, and no effort from management to guide the housekeeping staff to clean our rooms more swiftly (or prioritize us at all), we got not so much as an apology. Wedding reception was great, but lack of effort or customer service was greatly disappointing. read more

We had a large group traveling to Minneapolis for a cheer competition. Courtyard Minneapolis was our hotel choice and it was the best one of the season! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, rooms were super clean and our meeting room was the perfect size and location. Creating happiness for a group our season can be a challenge and Courtyard has it mastered. read more

I stayed here for two days while I was in Minneapolis for a work conference. The hotel is centrally located and surrounded by a lot of restaurants and bars. So if you want a place where there's a lot happening then this would be a fine choice. Overall the hotel is a pretty good business hotel. There's a small pool and gym located at the top floor and the lobby is quite modern and elegant. The staff is very friendly and helpful (and I love their Minnesota accent!). I had the king size bed which was super comfortable plus an abundant amount of pillows to start a pillow-war. The bathroom was immaculately clean and when I asked for some toiletries the housekeeping department got it to me so quickly I think they literally ran to get it. If I'm ever back in Minneapolis again this would be one of my first choice to call home away from home. read more

4 stars is hard to get as a hotel so I better do some splainin huh.... Location, service, quality, friendly, helpful....no I'm not resiting the Boy Scout's pledge, I'm giving examples of why I like this place to stay when I'm in Minneapolis. I will agree with the other reviews with regards to parking is weird and costs more then I wish it would. The parking ramp is not owned by the hotel. But, I can park within feet of the front desk, and my car is safe along with all the things inside it. Parking fee is daily so I am able to make short runs without more fees. Hotel offers shuttle service to the games and sites - and will pick me up at the door of the game with a phone call which I love on a chilly day. Reservation desk staff are quick and sure to get you all the discounts available to you. I travel year round so I have an Idea the conditions I should expect in a hotel and I recommend Holiday Inn Hotel Minneapolis-Metrodome. read more

I photographed a wedding here a few weekends ago. The staff was accommodating and the food was good. The bride and groom had a great experience with them.

One of the nicer Marriotts I have stayed in. THe lobby looks much nicer and the rooms are a little bit more spacious than what i've experienced before with Marriott hotels. I enjoyed my stay very much here, the customer service was great and responding to what I needed. I had to travel to many different places, and the hotel staff found me the quickest & cheapest way possible to get where I needed to be. The rooms were really clean, and spacious compared to other Marriott hotels that I have been to. The beds were extremely comfortable, at first I thought it was because I was so tired that the beds were comfortable. However, after the first night I realized indeed the beds were really comfortable. There is a pool in the building and a workout facility, I went to both of those places. Though they are both very small facilities, they are really clean and it gets the job done. I recommend staying here, it is a nice place to stay at if you are in the area. There are a few good restaurants across from the hotel. The restaurant/bar downstairs in the lobby is also nice, I have only gotten breakfast & coffee there. read more

I recently booked a room for a 10 day stay during a conference I was attending at the University of Minnesota. Although there were several different hotels with blocks of rooms reserved for the conference, I chose this hotel because of its close location to the University and because I had stayed at it before when it was a Holiday Inn and had a good experience. Two days before I arrived, the hotel sent an email telling me my reservation had been moved to the Ramada Plaza Hotel on Industrial Blvd which was 3.5 miles from the University and is not near any restaurants, has no sidewalks and poor public transportation. Two hours after the email, a young lady from the hotel called to tell me I had been moved. When I expressed that I found the location of the hotel to which the moved my reservation unacceptable, she informed me she could cancel my reservation for me. I had sent a complaint to Marriott through their website. After 7 days I have received no response except an auto-response that said my email had been received. I can say without a doubt, I will never book a room at this hotel, even after the remodeling ends and I certainly could not in good conscience recommend the hotel to anyone. read more

I'm the Director of Operations for an NCAA Division 1 softball team. My team stayed here when we played at Minnesota. The hotel was fantastic. I won't stay anywhere else when we come back into town. Dee and Cathy (the sales and events managers) were very helpful in preparation and throughout the duration of my team's stay. The rooms were very clean and updated. We ate all of our meals at the hotel and the food was delicious every day. The fitness center was also one of the best ones that I've ever seen at a hotel. We will be back again! read more

Stayed 4 nights last week (Wed-Sat Night). Front desk check in went smoothly. Gentleman was extremely plesant. Room was nice and clean. Stay was quiet (even having a room next to the elevator bank). Few reasons why not a 5 star review: - We had a Do not Disturb sign on our room Friday Morning. We left the room at 11AM. Saw housekeeping in hallway. Got back to hotel room at 7pm and room was not turned over. Inquired at desk and was told that housekeeping noted the DND sign on door and passed over. When asked, why don't HK go back over rooms skipped on the floor when complete, all I got was "because they don't". Hotel staff did come up and bring fresh towels and empty the garbages. - Breakfast Starbucks spot is WAY WAY WAY over priced. 2 Bacon egg and cheese sandwiches, large coffee and bottle of water totaled $36.00. - Coming back Saturday evening, the parking lot was "full". Heard there might have been a concert in town nearby and the general public most likely filled up the lot. It was very frustrating locating a spot and not fair to the hotel guests who pay $22/a day to park to have to worry about locating a spot upon returning. Other than that, place was fine. Nice selections of bars in the area and close to downtown Minneapolis, stadium and Target Field. read more

When I was younger, this is the hotel that my family and I would always stay at when we did our yearly visits to the cities. After I moved down here, the first place I lived was the Grand Marc because that is where my student housing was at the time. This hotel has always been a part of my life (in a weird way). The location is flawless, you are right off the highway, 35, and the interchange between 94, and Hiawatha. Walking distance from the Metrodome, and you have convenience stores all around as well as bars and restaurants. That is why my family always chose to stay here. It was really easy for us to get there, and my parents always insisted on going to a Twins game. I would agree with IRIS S. I would always use this place for directions. It was so easy to get my friends to my apartment, All I'd have to say is, Holiday Inn Metrodome, and they knew exactly where to go! They also are connected to a parking garage, well it is for the hotel, but others can park there too. You can get monthly contracts to park there as well. The price of the hotel is okay, but considering what is located near to this place, it makes it okay that you are paying a bit more! As for the hotel itself, it is actually pretty nice. They have a good breakfast, not continental, actual sit down breakfast. A pool, hot tub, and sauna on the top floor over looking the city, and the rooms are actually pretty clean, I must say! I mean, it is a hotel, so it's really not THAT clean, but you get what I mean. I've never gotten bed bug bites, so that keeps me happy! read more

We've been staying at this Marriott periodically since our daughter started her first year of college at UMN this past fall. Even during the pandemic, we have always had great service, especially from Justice at the front desk, who is a wonderfully kind and friendly person (and who remembers our faces, and always has an upgrade available for us when we check in, as Marriott Gold members!). It's become kind of our home away from home. Of course many hotel services aren't available for health/safety reasons right now, like the lobby dining and the gym. But the location, ease of parking, price, and room size and comfort level can't be beat. We've stayed four times since August 2020 and we'll be staying many more times in the future. read more
