Lovely experience !!

The hotel was beautiful, very cool atmosphere! Loved having the bar and restaurant right there, delicious food. The room was very accommodating and the bed super comfy. It was nice having coffee ready on our floor and the muffins hit the spot. We would definitely stay again :)

The hotel is historic and thus has some charm. The bed felt old. The shower head is also historic. Nice shower heads are $59 at Home Depot, so really no excuse to have an old shower head that makes for a less pleasant shower experience.

Lovely old property. Not loaded with amenities but just fine for a work stay. Only negative was the bed, mattress should have been replaced long ago. Otherwise, would definitely stay again.

We love the location and the quaintness of the hotel. However our room was freezing and there wasn't any way to turn down the air-conditioning. For the price, which included an extra fee since it was on the historic register, I wish the room had been more comfortable. I think we will choose a different place in the future.

It was like stepping back in time. Rooms were nice and quiet. Within walking distance of a lot of stuff including downtown Minneapolis. Breakfast was kind of sad. Muffins were cold like taken of freezer recently. Not real good to be honest. Bed was awesome. Overall I would stay here again.

Nicollet Island Inn offers a charming and quaint experience, steeped in nostalgia with its vintage furniture and classic style. The staff were consistently friendly and responsive, ensuring a pleasant stay. The inn is impressively clean, which was a standout feature. However, I found the continental breakfast quite underwhelming—just coffee, a few muffins, and a couple of apples, leaving much to be desired. For remote workers, this may not be the ideal spot, as the internet speed was painfully slow and unreliable. Additionally, the on-site restaurant was closed on both Monday and Tuesday during my stay, which was disappointing. While it has its charm, there are definitely areas for improvement.

A unique location that feels outside the city, but is a 20 min. walk to downtown. It's surrounded by nature and the hotel itself is lovely and looks like something out of a novel. The inside of the hotel shares the same rustic feeling on the main floor. Our room was clean overall but the tub and bathroom were kind of grungy. The room also lacked a fridge. The continental breakfast was fairly lackluster, though appreciated for something quick before checkout, with fruit, yogurt and muffins as your options. The staff overall was pleasant and there was plenty of parking.
