A hotel with multiple floors, a covered parking area, and a well-lit entrance.

Location: New Brighton
Review: I’m always nervous staying at hotels out of town because you just never know the conditions your walking into. So when we walked into the lobby we were greeted with smiles and a big hello from the staff. They were very welcoming and accommodating. We checked in late so the staff gave us food options in the area. That was helpful. We walk into our room AND IT WAS CLEAN!!!! Honestly the pictures on their website really do the room no justice!! The rooms are so much better in person. Our room was..., by Latoya, April 9, 2023, rated 10/10 Excellent

Home2 Suites by Hilton Roseville Minneapolis

An outdoor patio with a stone wall, a grill, and seating areas.

Location: Roseville
Review: I LOVE staying at Home2Suites! The rooms are spacious and clean, and have everything a family needs while traveling. I did laundry, my family enjoyed the pool and the fitness center as well. The breakfasts were amazing and we looked forward to them all three mornings. My only complaint was that I am very sensitive to pet smells- and since it has become a pet-friendly hotel, there was a large uncovered jar of smelly dog treats, and I felt that the air wasn't as fresh due to lingering pet odors...., by Nancy, January 12, 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent

A rooftop patio with teal Adirondack chairs, a fire pit, and potted plants.

Location: Prospect Park
Review: Home2Suites offers a consistent and comfortable stay for our family. We will continue to use their chain as needed in the multiple states we've visited. I was surprised by a parking charge however. Because I booked through Orbitz it was not highlighted/divulged that I would have to pay an extra $25 per car parked in their lot. I had no choice but to pay it as we did not have other parking options for our two cars. The front desk staff says it would have been made apparent that there was a..., by Karen, June 24, 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent
