“Charming Hotel”

The service was outstanding from check-in staff to food and drink. The heated underground parking is a big plus in Minnesota.

“its ok”

The only unfortunate mishap was offering valet parking when the price we paid thru expedia included breakfast,waterpark,and free parking we had no idea where to park and we were told by valet parking that was the only option. the hotel tried to make amends by reducing the 28 dollar valet tab to 14 but really we should have not paid for it at all. otherwise everything was ok

Area recommendations
anywhere in the imediate area is safe there are some reall good restaurants in the area and also the mill city museum and the guthrie theatre are within walking distance.

The staff, front desk, and bar and restaurant workers could NOT have made my stay any better. They were amazing and very helpful with any and all requests. I plan to return again MOST DEFINITELY and I have told all of my clients and friends as well to visit this FINE city and stay at this wonderful hotel. Thank you so much for everything. A very pleased client

We went to the Convention Center and back along Nicolette Street. That was enough for me. All my needs were met along this route. We had a blast!
When to go
August is a lovely time of year in Minneapolis.
Getting there
We flew Delta. It was fine!
Getting around
Pedi cabs and walking is the best! Very friendly to bicyclers too.

“Beauty, Luxury and Comfort”

The decor of this train-depot-turned-hotel is just beautiful. They spared no expense in rennovating it. The dresser tops and sinks in the room were granite, and towels and bedding were of great quality. I was impressed to see they had Aveda brand toiletries in the room. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Loved the valet parking feature. Very easy to find right off of I-35. Will definately be visiting again.

Area recommendations
Go to Dinky Town, which is located on the University of Minnesota campus. Great bars, restaurants, specialty shops.

“Very nice, but didn't have a smooth visit.”

I think this hotel is beautiful! But, unfortunately we didn't get the room we booked, the waterpark was closed (had to find out from the waitress), and I had to go down at the end of the night and have them swipe my card that they should of done when I checked in. I know things happen, but that was alot of items that were not impressive.

“a place to stay”

Overall, a clean hotel with friendly staff. Little things bothered me though. One of the phones didn't work. The television picture was poor, even though I really rent a room to watch tv. The towels were low grade, and the 3rd day, cleaning removed the bar of soap from the shower, but didn't replace it.

Area recommendations
downtown....convenience. easy access to the light rail, and the city is very clean

“Mpls Depot Hotel a real Renaissance”

The hotel registration and sign in was super with very efficient and friendly desk personnel! The hotel is a historic landmark in Mpls as the former Milwaukee Road railroad depot. Close to downtown restaurants, the Missippi River, light rail transportation and Mn Twins Target Field. Very nice architecture and interesting historical displays.

“A nice touch of history (railroads)”

Hotel room was A OK, however; a couple of extra towels would have helped along with some kleenex type tissues on or around the desk. The kleenex tissue on the sink ran out the first couple of hours.
