Good service attitude, clean and comfortable hotel, close to school, convenient transportation, the hotel's wifi usage is great, there is no lunch for breakfast and dinner 🥣, a little unaccustomed
Radisson Red Minneapolis Downtown
4.1/5101 Reviews
This was in a great location, very safe, I read nervous trying to find a place to park in other to check in but it went fine. It costs but I highly recommend pushing. I used the underground parkng for extra security. Fun style to the room. Safe in room. Cost space, ice bucket, fridge, TV. Lots of plans everywhere for electronic. Yep shade in the large window one to block sun another to let light in. Nice Good restaurant in site It is safe because you need your key for your room, EV Elevators, to get to unwind parking and lobby bathroom ! Highly recommended!
Days Hotel by Wyndham University Ave SE
3.8/5110 Reviews
Hôtel juste à côté d'une ligne de tramway. Parfait pour se rendre en ville, à Saint Paul et à l'aéroport. Dans la chambre il y a un mini frigo et une machine à café. Un micro-ondes est à disposition à côté de la réception mais vu le prix de la chambre, il pourrait y en avoir 1 dans la chambre... Literie et oreillers super confortables. Petit déjeuner parfait. Beaucoup de choux. Rien à voir avec les commentaires négatifs sur Internet où on parle d'un sachet en papier avec 3 fois rien dedans. Ça devait être en plein pic pandémie convid.
Hotel Indigo Minneapolis Downtown
4.4/5102 Reviews
Very spacious and modern rooms, very cool design of public areas and rooms! Unfortunately, we had some difficulties communication with the hotel twice. First, we wanted to learn more about parking and hotel put us on 10 minutes hold and after that they did not pick up the call for more than an hour! Maybe they are busy, but still leaves an impression. Secondly, we called at the reception to ask about the places open for a beer or wine and they simply hang up on us twice. Moreover, there was something with the lock- we could not leave the room without asking for help outside. I’m glad we were not in the rush in the morning. Not sure why is that so haha! Generally great area in the city center and pretty design!
Nicollet Island Inn
4.3/515 Reviews
*ONE star for the Restaurant/Hotel General Manager, Jenny. I would like to preface this story by saying that we had our wedding at the Inn in August 2021. I LOVE the event staff and highly recommend working with them. Until Jenny gets help, I DO NOT recommend the Restaurant. For more details on how Jenny lied to me and blamed me, please read below. The morning after our wedding, I had scheduled Brunch for 20, they put us in a Lounge room that could fit 24 people. More people wanted to come to brunch than originally planned. I asked Jenny if we could get another 10 people to eat, Jenny said there was no room. I asked Jenny if we could at least add 4 more seats to our room that is meant to fit 24, I was told no. One lie Jenny told me was that the Patio was fully booked, and we could not sit out there. My friend found out that Jenny lied to me; the restaurant didn’t schedule enough staff of that day to have customers on the patio. When trying to figure out if the restaurant could fit more of us in, a couple walked through the door. Jenny asked them if they had reservations, and they did not. So, she told them there was no room and she recommends that’s that they make reservations next time. Jenny then turned to me and said, “Do you see what you are making me do, I have to turn people away now.” I was done with Jenny. My new husband and I sat outside of the room we rented for brunch, while our friends and family ate. That day 25 people came to Bruch, so 5 of us sat outside from the room people were eating and chatted. Jenny and 2 other servers kept walking by. I couldn’t help but notice that there were many tables not being used in the restaurant. Then the sweetest Server came up to us to congratulate us on our wedding (which Jenny never did) and this server brought us a glass of Champagne. She then asked if we would like to eat, and I told her that Jenny said we cannot eat. She said that was just wrong and brought us menus. The 5 of us ate brunch and chatted in a near empty restaurant until that afternoon.
Best Western Plus The Normandy Inn & Suites
4.2/5101 Reviews
I’ve stayed at The Normandy three times now. In part for the location, but also because we enjoy the hotel and it’s excellent restaurant. The parking is easy, the rooms comfortable and clean. Our shower was particularly nice. We didn’t get to take advantage of the milk and cookies this time but I’ve had them before and it’s a nice touch. The gentleman at the front desk was very pleasant and helpful; all the staff we encountered were very nice. We particularly like the Normandy Kitchen. I’ve had many delicious meals there and heartily recommend the caramelized Brussel sprouts with Lardons. It was so good we considered ordering a second helping as dessert. I’m sure we will stay there again.
