    “This was our first visit to Minneapolis and we were just in town overnight. Our train from Seattle arrived in St.Paul early in the morning and so we arrived at the hotel well before the check-in time, hoping just to drop our bags off, but to our delight the very helpful receptionist said the room was ready and we could check in straight away, which was really great. We'd booked a deluxe king room which was spacious and clean. After settling into our room and getting a nice hot shower (been two nights on a train prior to that) we spent the day walking miles around the city, and loving it. Would definitely stay here again when we come back to Minneapolis.”

  • I would love to return to Minneapolis and stay longer so I can experience more of the city!

    “The hotel was beautiful. I loved that it was part of a converted railway depot. The entire Mill District was a great place to stay. The staff was extremely efficient and friendly. I would come again in a heartbeat and stay longer! We came for the purpose of seeing the Detroit Tigers play the Twins at Target Field. The whole rest of the city awaits!”
