“Wonderful New Years Evening”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

This was the second time we stayed at Hotel Ivy for New Years Eve. It is an absolutely wonderful experience. The rooms are well appointed with everything you could possibly want. The bathrooms are equally as spacious, with fine toiletries, and a great soaking tub, and a gorgeous rain shower, separate from the tub area. The bed linens were soft and warm, with comfortable pillows. There is an entry foyer for each room which is large and welcoming. I never felt cramped. We asked for a taxi and they sent us a Town Car, which was a very nice extra. Having glass wine glasses in the room is such a nice touch, without having to request them. Customer service is excellent. I can't wait to spend another night here.

Room Tip: I usually request a quiet room, and both times they were exceptionally quiet.

“Great location, nice amenities, particularly in the Executive Club rooms.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 19, 2012 via mobile

This is a great luxury hotel in downtown Minneapolis. The restaurant is solid and the rooms are very nice. Proximity to the freeways is excellent. Spa looks good, but it is difficult to get a same day appointment.

“Not impressed.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 17, 2012 via mobile

The hotel seems nice when checking in. The staff was pleasant. The rooms were ok. However, there were some unrepaired holes in the wall. The bathroom was very nice. We thought that we have stayed in way nicer rooms for the price. We didn't use any other services. We were to get free internet, but discovered we got charged a couple of days later. I hear the spa was awesome, but didnt have time to use it. This is just an over priced hotel. We won't be back.

“great service, excellent value!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

we had a "staycation" here and it was truly wonderful. the service at the Ivy is really excellent. the staff were always quick to answer our questions and help out however they could. the room was huge and gorgeous. our favourite aspect was the excellent bathroom with huge tub. room service was quick and the food was surprisingly really good. the only complaint i might have is that the pool in the spa was barely open the entire time we were there. but, otherwise fantastic! i heard it just got bought out by a larger company...? hope it doesn't change too much.

“Good stay with wonderful rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012

I stayed at the Ivy for a quick one night trip. The room was exactly what I was expecting - luxurious with little perks to make me feel at home (iPhone docking station, Keurig, robe, and slippers). The location is in a good spot downtown, but the staff was not as I expected for the hotel. The valet staff was nice and friendly, but the desk staff was rude and abrupt and the cleaning staff left hairs uncleared in the bathroom. Overall, it was a good stay and I would return.
