9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,258 reviews)
This hotel was a really great find both for location, amenities, and teh building. Was in town for an event that had us at both the convention center and US Bank Stadium. Out the front door and to the left you are 10 minutes walking distance from the convention center, out the front door and to the right you are 10 minutes walking distance to the stadium. They do also offer a shuttle to the convention center, have a really neat and well kept swim area with hot tub, restaurant on site, rooms are quiet and clean, and there's free milk and cookies every night! And the staff - they are the nicest people who do whatever to help you enjoy your stay! This is truly a hidden gem in Minneapolis and I'd stay 100 more times
