I stayed at this hotel with my husband who was there on business. I had the opportunity to explore the hotel and the surroundings. The hotel was once a bank and it shows--the lobby is very impressive looking and the "vault" is now holding wine. The hotel is connected to the "skyway" in downton Minneapolis. Pretty convenient to the downtown... more

My husband and I flew to Minneapolis to see a concert. We arrived on Friday the 2nd of May and came home on the 4th of May. We've had positive visits to the Westin, St. Louis and chose the Westin, MN because of our past experiences. We took the train from the airport and only had to walk about a... more

When I arrived my room type was not available and no other room was ready (4pm). I waited 30 minutes before I spoke to a man who I later learned was the General Manager of the Hotel (Mark Deinhart). I told him of my issue and he was arrogant and condescending. He never looked me in the eye and came... more

As a former Minnesotan, I thought it would be fun to stay four nights in a hotel that was the former bank where most school kids like me had accounts in the 1970s. That the hotel was a Westin was a huge bonus. I was wrong on both accounts. This hotel will not give you the typical Westin feeling and... more

We thought this would be a fun hotel to try in downtown Minneapolis--we were wrong. We typically reserve "standard" rooms wherever we stay. But this hotel's definition of standard is different from others. We received what the check-in person called a "limited view" room, which he said was their standard room. We assumed limited view meant maybe a lower floor,... more

The Westin brand hotels is used quite extensively by my company for business travel. A co-worker that flies in weekly to Minneapolis for work decided to stay at this hotel (due to great experiences at other Westins). She had used valet parking the night before, but when she went to pick-up her car in the morning with her valet ticket.....the... more

My husband and I had a babysitting offer from grandparents, and we wanted a quick escape from daily routine, so we packed overnight bags and drove six miles to the downtown Minneapolis Westin. A true escape! The reception desk gave us an upgrade (just to be nice) so we ended up on the Starwood members' floor in a really great... more

The Westin Minneapolis is a beautful hotel. From the moment you pull up you are greeted by very friendly attendants. When you walk in the front door you enter The Bank which is a bar/lounge and resturaunt. The property was an actual Bank that was transformed- It is visually amazing! The old bank vault is now a wine vault! After... more

I stayed at the new Westin in July 2007 (yes, this is a very overdue review). I had a fabulous room and have no complaints. I ended up booking at the last minute after another hotel (shall remain nameless) dropped my reservation. I was upgraded to the rejuvination suite, which was simply amazing. The room was sleek, modern, and very... more
