“This is a full service hotel?”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed March 21, 2013

Shocked by the lack of basic amenities at this hotel:
1) no bell captain or anyone to help with luggage (really?)
2) parking lot is a walk from the the hotel....and since there's no valet, I had to walk in the snow (you have to walk outside to even get there). This neighborhood is sketchy at best, and I was scared to walk from the parking lot to the hotel. (And since there's NO bell captain to help you, you haul your luggage from the lot.) I'm a frequent traveler but I still found this to be frightening.
3) you have to pay as you go at the lot -- I finally asked if I could just put the cost of daily parking on my room -- you can but you have to ask. And it's way too expensive for a self-park lot in a crappy neighborhood.

I rarely complain about hotels....but my gosh, this is a major city? Near a university? Not worth the cost (it was expensive for the lack of service.)

Also: since this seems to be a hotel for college sports teams, it would be nice to have known this in advance so I didn't have to deal with noisy college kids - running up and down the halls, hogging the elevators...etc.

Never again.

Hello Nancy B,

We are sincerely very sorry that you did not enjoy your experience at the Hotel Minneapolis Metrodome but want to thank you for your feedback. Certainly we welcome any information we can gather from you to improve our service the next time you stay with us.

As a result of your feedback, we will be meeting with our staff to ensure they are consistently offering luggage assistance. Although we do not currently have bell staff, all of our staff members are here to ensure you have a positive experience, leaving the hotel feeling better than when you arrived. Please do not ever hesitate to ask any one of our staff members to assist you.

Our staff is always more than willing to assist guests in walking to areas within/close to the hotel. Being that our parking garage is just a few steps from the hotel, we would be more than happy to walk you to your car ensuring you feel safe and secure.

We unfortunately do not own or operate the parking lot located next to the hotel and therefore cannot adjust the price for parking. However, we are making significant improvements to the hotel itself. In quarter three of 2013, we are re-flagging to become the Courtyard Minneapolis Downtown and will have a beautiful, newly renovated property to show for it! Upon completion of the remodeling, we are excited to offer brand new, fully connected guest rooms, the Bistro bar, a grab-and-go style 24/7 market, Media pods, and of course a revived, energetic staff to make you feel at home during your entire stay. We always welcome our University of Minnesota clientele and expect to draw more corporate transient guests, as well, given our brand repositioning. With this vision of what’s to come, we hope you can see that it will be worth your while to visit us again soon!”

“I Really Liked it There”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

I went here for a teaching conference. The bed I slept in was THE most comfortable bed ever. I loved the pool on the 14th floor. It had a great view. The restaurant was surprisingly reasonably and food was good. The location has lots of chain "eats" around it like Subway, Noodles, etc. I parked in the public ramp that is right next to the hotel and I didn't have a problem.

Thanks for staying with us last year and returning to write a review. We really liked having you as our guest and hope you will visit again soon. Our beds, pool area and restaurant will only be getting better in the next few months as we upgrade our property to a Courtyard by Marriott.

“Clean and basic”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

This was a clean hotel with the basics. Nice toiletries, decent towels, sanitary. Nice large television, comfortable bed. A solid choice and a good value. Nothing special but a good place to stay - quiet, clean, and comfortable with nice staff.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about our hotel. We appreciate the kind words. Although things may have been “nothing special” during this visit, we hope you will visit again this summer when we rebrand as a Courtyard by Marriott. The renovation project will include major upgrades to the lobby, restaurant, meeting space and guest rooms which will create a unique and exciting venue.

“Good location, very clean”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

I stayed one night for business. The hotel was clean, in good condition, and met expectations for a Holiday Inn. Check-in was efficient and the staff polite and professional. The lobby is kind of modern looking; very metro. I enjoyed the bar. Overall very good service. The room was fine; nothing special, but very adequate.

“Decent place to stay.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012 via mobile

I recently traveled to Minneapolis on business. I stayed at this hotel. It's a middle of the road hotel, I give it a solid 3 rating. Breakfast buffet is decent but does not vary day to day. I had and appetizer in the bar along with an adult beverage - not great but not bad. This hotel will not overwhelm you but it is quiet and clean - the price is decent. It is not really within walking distance to downtown so plan to cab it.
