Where do I begin? This became my favorite Minneapolis hotel. I wish I could have spent more time in the room, but it was a quick visit. Everyone on the staff was fantastic, helpful and polite. Room was clean, bedding was out of this world. Location was in a nice, quiet area. An older building, so don’t expect glitz and glamor. But if you want the feel of a nice, quaint hotel, then this is up your alley. There’s parking, which can’t be said of a lot of other city hotels. Best night of sleep I’ve had in a long time. The only issue I had was the Wi-Fi didn’t work for me, but I didn’t need it because I was gone for most of the evening. The price point worked for me and I want to come back here. This place put me in a great mood and I was able to keep it for my drive home. Thank you so much.

The check in was smooth. The room was beautiful and brought you back to an earlier time with how it was furnished. The bartender at Nics was awesome. Breakfast was great and the service excellent. The lotion and soap smelled great and you do not need to bring shampoo, conditioner or body wash as they are in dispenser in the shower. And they smelled awesome as well. The only complaint on the property is that the pillows are a little hard.

A very quiet and classy old school hotel -- décor, furniture, carpeting, halls, walls, decorating, and front desk area felt comforting and welcoming. Same with the bar and restaurant - the bartender, I swear, had a vest and his name was probably Jeeves. The hotel, remarkably in the middle of the city, on an island in the Mississippi between Northeast and the city skyline, feels like a country house - flowers, the river flowing on both sides, trees and vines, several dining and night spots just across the little bridge and up the hill. Something out of the past.
