New Hope Vacations from $389

Amazing food and awesome old school vibe

Breakfast options were good. The room was pretty clean. Pool did not appear clean at all. Staff was pleasant but nowhere to be found for checkout, had to wait quite a while. Walls/floors are THIN, we apparently had a large group of elephants above us. Get a room on the top floor and have absolutely no questions/be okay with contactless checkout and you’re golden.

Our stay was otherwise very good, and the hotel staff were professional and extremely helpful. Unfortunately, the valet parking experience was alarming and unacceptable. The valet service is outsourced and appears to be managing two hotels at once, which resulted in chaos. When we requested our vehicle, we went to the pickup area before receiving the text that it was ready. By chance, we checked our car and found it wide open, with no attendant present and no keys in sight. Even more concerning, the valet station had been left completely unattended, and the lock box containing all vehicle keys was left open, allowing anyone to access keys to any vehicle. This is a serious security failure and a major safety concern. Hotel staff were very helpful and took the situation seriously. They attempted to contact the valet service using the limited phone numbers available, and one staff member personally walked over to locate an attendant because none were present. Their response was commendable, though their ability to intervene was clearly limited. When the valet attendant finally returned, they could not provide any information on how to lodge a formal complaint or escalate the issue. At $49 per day, this is a premium service, and I expect far better security, professionalism, and accountability. As a Hilton guest, I also expect strong oversight of outsourced services to protect guests and uphold the brand’s reputation.This experience was concerning and should be addressed urgently

No mini fridge. What hotel these days doesn't have a mini fridge?! Also no ice machine?! You have to ask for ice. For how much they charge to stay there they don't have the standard things even the cheapest hotels have.

If you have to travel to the Twin Cities area, Maple Grove is a nice option out of downtown yet close enough to everything on the 494 loop. This Hilton Garden Inn is tremendous amongst those options. We checked in at 9:50, and the manager alerted us to the restaurant/bar closing in 10 minutes. 10 minutes before close on a Thursday, most restaurants are busy in their shut down procedures. Fred not only kept the kitchen open, but we had a steak that was better than most places calling themselves a steak restaurant (and we're from Montana where we know steak). The Hotel was incredibly clean and every member of the staff we encountered were happy, engaging, and helpful. Do yourself a favor and stay here; and believe me try the steak.
