Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, the Depot
4.3/595 Reviews

Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, the Depot

Minneapolis|0.19km from Walden University
This is a difficult review to write. I understand that in a pandemic, hotels are getting crushed financially and must make adjustments to survive. But they should disclose upfront what they are doing. In this case, the Renaissance is adjacent to the Marriott Residence Inn. They are actually two sides of the same building. They have closed all public areas of the Renaissance, and you now check in and enter through the front desk of the Residence Inn, connected by a long hallway to the Renaissance. The Renaissance Depot advertises itself as being in the Milwaukee Road Depot but in fact all of those historic areas of the hotel shown on the website (such as the Great Hall) are closed, and that train station was the main reason I chose this hotel. The breakfast is a bag with an orange, a small yogurt, and an Otis Spunkmeyer wrapped muffin. None of this is disclosed on the website. Meanwhile, they are charging a higher price then the Residence Inn but with none of the amenities. The two main Renaissance elevators are closed. One small side elevator is still in use. The sign says use of the elevator is limited to one person. Luckily hotel occupancy was low, so that wasn't a big issue. The rooms were fine except there are no drawers or shelves -- just a luggage rack. There was no bath tub -- just a full-sized shower. The front desk staff were exceedingly nice. The hotel is very close to central downtown. Very convenient to the historic mills and the stone bridge.

Residence Inn Minneapolis Downtown at the Depot

Minneapolis|0.35km from Walden University
We stayed there for 8 days. Overall, it was fine but one of the overnight managers was rude, inp, and passive aggressive. The Good: Decent rooms but small than I expected. I’ve been in Residence Inns in New York City with rooms that are the same size as those in Minneapolis. Parking lot is convenient and reasonably priced. Also, our room had 2 Queen beds and a full kitchen. The Bad: WThe night we checked in, we noticed that the oven was on - no idea how long that was on. Also, the stove-oven looked like it was out of the 70’s. I refused to touch. The Ugly: Daily housekeeping. The front desk staff is not on the same page and was not transparent. Instead of the details, the takeaway is the front desk established the wrong expectations - daily housekeeping. I complained repeatedly when those expectations were not met. Each time I complained, I got an apology but no one corrected the expectations by saying we don’t have the staff for daily housekeeping. If I heard that, I would have had very different expectations. In the last month, I’ve been in two other hotels that were crystal clear with housekeeping expectations- it’s not that hard. In any event, this lead to the overnight manager loudly complaining to a staff membe about “some guy constantly complaining about housekeeping. Someone should tell him we don’t have the staff.” It was rude, unprofessional, and he should have had the courage and consideration to address me directly. I don’t recommend staying here.
AC Hotel by Marriott Minneapolis Downtown

AC Hotel by Marriott Minneapolis Downtown

Minneapolis|0.47km from Walden University
Staff was great. Some reviews have mentioned the ”sketchy” neighborhood, but it really isn't. Those strip clubs nearby have been there a lot longer than the AC Hotel or the Four Seasons next door. There are also many fine dining establishments nearby, including the famous Murray's steakhouse, 112 Eatery, and many more. Check out Bunker's Music Club too, one of the best smaller live music venues in the country. Back to the AC. Our bed was great, room surprisingly quiet (back side) and well appointed. Bathroom needed some minor repair work that housekeeping should have reported, but it wasn't worth call engineering up on a two night stay. These hotels have nice appointments and design, but aren't really full service like a Marriott. I would rate it five stars except for a couple things. $35 parking fee was disclosed, but I was very surprised to find that was a self-parking rate, not valet. It's not a terribly long way, but not all that convenient either. The other thing was being told when we checked in that because we were just staying two nights we would not receive housekeeping. It is standard these days to give guests a choice on short stays, and we often would forgo it, but it's not normal to just bluntly inform them they won't receive housekeeping for a $200 a night room. We didn't care much for that, and ended up having to call for fresh coffee supplies and towels and such anyway. I'd stay there again, the staff was very good and friendly, but they could sharpen up a bit.

W Minneapolis - the Foshay
4.2/5101 Reviews
My son and I stayed here for 6 nights 7/2-7/8 for a national fencing tournament at the convention center. Agatha at the front desk was stellar. She was welcoming and could not have been more helpful. Also, Adam in the Living Room bar (lobby bar) was very good too. He knew my drink, remembered my name and was good with conversation. All the staff we met were really friendly and helpful. W does a great job with interior design and this hotel is the perfect mix of original Art Deco design and modern interior. Common areas are sleek, and lighting is interesting. I did not like the lack of good lighting in the elevator, as I always had to use my phone to light up the floor numbers. We stayed on the 16th floor in a 2-queen room. The room was very clean, small, and there is minimal storage, Beds and linens are comfortable. If you are staying for more than a couple days and want to unpack, there is only a small, 2 drawer unit that does not hold much. The bathroom is large and well appointed, and the bath products smell amazing. My issue is the rain shower mounted overhead, rather than a wall mounted shower head. As a woman who does not wash her hair every day, I struggled to keep my hair dry and had to do the in and out dance as the water fell from above. My son did not like it either. This type of shower is not as satisfying as a wall mounted shower head that blasts you. I also wish that the room had a regular coffee maker rather than an espresso machine. with tiny cups. There is free coffee in the lobby, but who wants to go down 16 floors for a cup of coffee, and have to return to your room? There is a diner called Keys, attached to the hotel that is really good for breakfast and lunch. The observation deck at the top of the building is great too. I had drinks with friends in the lobby bar, the Living Room, and we all enjoyed the cool, comfortable space and good service. Interestingly enough, we got to watch a pimp with 2 ladies of the evening do business with a man sitting at the bar. This very intoxicated, elderly man left arm in arm with 2 young, scantily clad 'ladies'. No one who worked there seemed at all concerned, or for that matter surprised. Overall, I liked this hotel, I liked the staff, but the room fell a little short for me on size, functionality and that silly rain shower.
Minneapolis Marriott City Center
4.1/598 Reviews
Stayed here for eight nights in July while my niece competed in USA Fencing Nationals. Staff, especially Thomas, Melonie, and Jason were very friendly and handled all of our requests with a smile. Thomas was even able to put our three rooms under three separate reservations on the same floor and within a few feet of each other despite our specific room layout requests which weren't made until check in. The staff really went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. The hotel has just completed a complete overhaul and the rooms and common areas were clean, modern, and comfortable. There were two negative points though. We had a shower only room and the weatherstripping on the shower door seemed to have been damaged at some point, resulting in a very wet bathroom floor after each shower. Engineering showed up immediately after we notified the front desk and attempted to find and fix the leak; however, did not succeed. Our work-around was make a temporary seal using extra towels. Second negative was for the loud music deep into the weekend nights coming from a club a block away. Overall, the property was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located with very friendly staff who went above and beyond to make our stay a very positive experience.
Radisson Red Minneapolis Downtown
4.1/5101 Reviews
This was in a great location, very safe, I read nervous trying to find a place to park in other to check in but it went fine. It costs but I highly recommend pushing. I used the underground parkng for extra security. Fun style to the room. Safe in room. Cost space, ice bucket, fridge, TV. Lots of plans everywhere for electronic. Yep shade in the large window one to block sun another to let light in. Nice Good restaurant in site It is safe because you need your key for your room, EV Elevators, to get to unwind parking and lobby bathroom ! Highly recommended!
Embassy Suites by Hilton Minneapolis Downtown
4.3/5109 Reviews
Stumbled in to the hotel bar for a few quick drinks before work and was immediately met by the bartender Jonathan with a warm smile and great conversation. Definitely the pump up I needed to have a really great night on the job! He was quick with his service and incredibly friendly and deserves a shoutout for a really great Screwdriver
Hotel Indigo Minneapolis Downtown
4.4/5102 Reviews
Very spacious and modern rooms, very cool design of public areas and rooms! Unfortunately, we had some difficulties communication with the hotel twice. First, we wanted to learn more about parking and hotel put us on 10 minutes hold and after that they did not pick up the call for more than an hour! Maybe they are busy, but still leaves an impression. Secondly, we called at the reception to ask about the places open for a beer or wine and they simply hang up on us twice. Moreover, there was something with the lock- we could not leave the room without asking for help outside. I’m glad we were not in the rush in the morning. Not sure why is that so haha! Generally great area in the city center and pretty design!
Nicollet Island Inn
4.3/515 Reviews
Had a wonderful one night stay at the historic Nicollet Island Inn. Beautiful location and very convenient to downtown Minneapolis, St. Anthony Main/Stone Arch Bridge area and the University of Minnesota. We had a king room that was clean, comfortable, quiet, and spacious. Complimentary coffee in the morning, but no refrigerator in room. Staff was super friendly. Plenty of free parking. When you book a room, you have the option to make reservations for the restaurant, but we opted to eat elsewhere. It is expensive to stay here, but we loved it and would definitely stay again!
