Staff were great and friendly, location is convenient, parking was easy, check in parking was a bit difficult being there is no place to park while checking in other then street down the road. Breakfast was dissapointing, used to pork sausage at holiday inns but the turkey sausage was bad tasting. Potatoes were the best part, pancake machine was having issues at first. Overall good plave to stop for overnight stay, had trouble sleeping though, thin walls and sounds from outside kept me up all night

Very disappointed by my stay. It was our first time in Minneapolis and decided to spend 300$ to stay at this hotel. Well literally not even 7 hours into our stay someone broke into my car ?? Like what? The guy who was working decided to refund me my 21$ for parking but my luck they aren’t even gonna send me back my 21$ or my 50$. Great workers tho and really nice rooms !!
