My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were clean and comfy; however, the sofa bed was hard, and despite requesting extra padding, I was only given another duvet, which was a letdown for my son. The service was excellent, with efficient and friendly staff. The location was perfect for downtown activities, right in the heart of Minneapolis, close to great restaurants and entertainment. The dining options were modern, and the bar stays open late.

The location couldn't have been better, right in the heart of Minneapolis, near Macy's, Target, and a light rail station. The hotel is in walking distance to Target Field and the Dakota Jazz Club.

The dining experience was decent, with very modern options and a bar that stays open late. However, paying $115 for a room without a window to outside was a downside.

The hotel's location couldn't have been more convenient, with all the places we visited just a short drive away thanks to the parking card. The rooms were a bit old-fashioned, lacking in natural light, and we opted not to use the sofa bed for sleeping even with the amenities we selected. The service was top-notch, especially with the thoughtful gesture of engaging us in conversation about my daughter's vintage Prince t-shirt. The downtown location was ideal, and having everything we needed in the attached business concierge suite made the stay even better. The dining experience in the executive lounge was consistent with great offerings but a bit repetitive, while facilities were overall satisfying.

The rooms felt a bit outdated, stark, and poorly lit, so we avoided using the sofa bed for sleeping despite the selected amenities.

The hotel has a great central location in Minneapolis, close to restaurants and entertainment venues. The rooms, though lacking exterior windows, were clean and comfortable, but some unexpected interior views were a downside. The service was attentive, albeit with an overpowering room freshener issue at times. The location was superb, offering easy access to attractions and urban amenities. The dining options were modern and varied, but there were some discrepancies compared to the reservation. Overall, a convenient choice in a prime spot.
