Valet was very understaffed or just slow. There were cars parked everywhere in the road. No one in valet even helped us. After waiting for 30 minutes we had to go find our own parking… disappointing.

We stayed in the one bedroom suite with king bed. The room was so quiet, we didn't hear other guests at all. The bed was so comfortable, we both slept so soundly. I wish I would have remembered to see what it was. The room would be perfect for an extended stay for work-lots of room. Breakfast was pretty good and the views were pretty great from the whole dining room. I was worried with how busy it was, that we wouldn't have a table to sit at-nope, there were plenty to pick from. The elevators were a bit slow, so we took the stairs to breakfast and couldn't get in from the 2nd floor stairwell door. Not sure what that was about. We went all the way down to 1st floor and then went up to the dining room from the lobby. Otherwise, it was a great stay and would, for sure, stay again.

We enjoyed our visit to Minneapolis. Embassy Suites offers great breakfast and reception options. This weekend both of these amenities were overtaxed due to crowded hotel. Not sure how to improve this but the reception ran out of food before it was over and had lines for the bar. Breakfast was super busy with long lines to get a cooked to order egg and running out of things along the way. Would stay here again but not happy with elevators not all being working so slow moving to the 11th floor where our room was and $55 valet parking.

I didn't like the way the shower is set up. The water is too close. You can't soap your body up because the water rinse it off as soon as you put it on. The carpet in the bedroom was not vacuum. Had toenail clippings on the floor. And please put paper towel in the kitchen area

If we had not been traveling with children it might have been better but it was unclear where to go to park for the hotel and once we found a parking garage to park in we had no clue how to get to the hotel from the area. I have a older child with me but the people I was traveling with had little kids and it was a concerning area when you have no idea where younare going. The staff in the hotel were also not the nicest and were kind of rude.

While the location is very convenient in Mpls, I was not impressed with the accommodations. We booked a King suite that was supposed to have a queen sofa sleeper. The king bed was the size of a queen and the pullout couch was a full. When I asked about the discrepancy at the desk I was told it was a king bed. The bathroom sink area smelled like wet dog, all the towels smelled and looked clean. The sheets on the “king” bed looked clean and pressed but smelled dirty, like they didn’t use laundry detergent. The breakfast was good, you can make your own waffles and had a made to order omelette line along with other breakfast basics. We chose this hotel because it was the only one with a pool that had openings in downtown Mpls, this will not be my first choice on our next stay in this area.

Response from Dan Winslow. GM on 25 Mar 2024
Karla, thanks for the feedback, I can confirm that your room did have a King bed, hotel kings are 72" wide as opposed to residential kings at 76" wide, that's the difference you felt. Good commentary on the housekeeping items and linen. We will be sure to follow up with our laundry company for quality concerns. Glad you enjoyed breakfast; it was obviously a very busy weekend and I apologize for any delays waiting in line.

I have never had a poor experience at an embassy suites prior to this one. The hotel was overcrowded and impossible to use the elevator, since they were always full coming from the top floor. We didn’t mind taking the stairs down 4 flights to get to breakfast, but the stairwells were locked, which is a fire hazard. We walked around the hotel for 20 minutes, trying to find a different stairwell and found ourselves in a an employee parking structure. An employee found us and noticed we were lost and was able to use a key to allow us to access the breakfast area, but did not unlock the stairwell despite our request for others to be able to access the breakfast area. The employee admitted that the hotel was overpacked and that they had not enforced limits to how many people could stay in a room. the cocktail hour had limited, snack, selections, and no forks to eat the potato salad.

Kaitlin:Our apologies for your experience this past weekend. It was an extremely busy weekend with multiple events taking place throughout the downtown area. With the state dance tournament next door, we also had several teams staying with us. Elevators were very busy and wait times were longer than we would have liked. But I can assure you that overcrowding of the hotel itself or the rooms was not an issue. We take our max occupancies in rooms with extreme seriousness. The stairwells, all three of them, do lead to the street level and are compliant with all facets of both Hilton and the City of Minneapolis fire codes. Yes, the door from the stairwell that leads directly to the breakfast area is locked however that is due to key access being required to get to that area and that is most easily accomplished by using the glass doors on the 2nd floor.We do wish that this stay had been a better experience for you. We do not want anyone to leave disappointed. We are sincerely grateful for the feedback as we are constantly working to improve upon every guest's overall satisfaction. Hope you have a fantastic weekend.
