Wonderful room and service. Free shuttle to downtown events. Very quiet and comfortable - definitely a place we will stay again!!! And the warm chocolate chip cookies were AWESOME at 10 pm! Parking was very convenient. We didn't use the pool or spa - but very clean and comfortable looking.

In a cool older building and has a restaurant/bar built in. Hot cookies and cold milk every night at 10, can't be be beat for the... More

I've stayed at the Normandy every few years since the sixties when my parents took us (by train) to the big city of Minneapolis to see the Ice Capades. Although it certainly looks like an old-style motel, it has generally kept pace and is presentable if not luxurious. The rooms are very large by current standards. The desk seemed to... More

We were in Minneapolis for a couple of days to attend our daughter's graduation and stayed here. My sister and her husband were also on the trip with us.

We just spent a fabulous 11 nights at the Best Western Normandy in mid-May 2013, as we were in town from Ireland visiting family and celebrating my daughter's undergraduate commencement from the University of Minnesota.

We stayed at the Normandy Inn for five nights in early May 2013. The Hotel is within walking distance of the Convention Centre and Nicolette Mall. If you are not in for the short 5-7 minute walk the hotel has a complementary shuttle that can be accessed through the front desk. The real bonus for Downtown Minneapolis is parking is... More

First time staying here. Went for a weekend getaway with my hubby. Quaint hotel. Very clean. Loved the cozy feel to everything (lobby, hallways, restaurant, bar). Arrived later at night and was greeted with friendly staff. A little tricky finding our room on 4th floor as we were directed to the wrong elevator, but it actually made us laugh. When... More
