There were six different lamps in the room, but even with them all on, the room felt dim. I’m all for mood lighting at times, but I also kinda wished there were just one overhead light to turn on with a switch, instead of five different lamps to switch on. Also doesn’t help that most of the walls are painted dark red, and the carpet is black, making it feel even darker. The room was clean, and the front desk..."Reviewed November 1, 2026Roundtrip • Atlanta (ATL) - Minneapolis (MSP)ATL - MSP • Nonstop MSP - ATL • Nonstop - Nicollet Island Inn

Nelson Hotel Deals
"My favorite place to stay for an annual work conference. Site is clean, safe, the hot tub is fabulous, and the breakfast is a great jump-start to the day. The desk staff and employees are helpful and cheerful."
"Front desk help was great! No housekeeping. Towels were gray. Was a feces stain on the wall by the toilet. Shampoo and condioner was half used. Bed was old. I always bring my own towels. I did buy a blanket and laid on top of the bed, didn't trust the condition of the sheets. White sticky stain on the curtains. I reserved adjoining rooms, that didn't happen. I probably won't stay there again. Pool was out of order. Again the help was very nice!"
