Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers very clean and comfortable rooms but lacks easy access to the concierge room due to the top-level placement of the elevators, making it feel more like a hotel. The location, convenient for business trips, may not be near other attractions. Although the dining experience was a bit of a downer with occasional food shortages, overall, the facilities provided were satisfactory.

The hotel has some mixed aspects to consider.

The hotel is quite nice and kind of secluded, ideal for a business trip to Minneapolis. The rooms seemed fine until housekeeping came while I was away for Christmas, which was slightly inconvenient. The service was preoccupied with other tasks, leading to slow service. The dining at the Blue Birch was satisfactory but could have been better. Despite some downsides, the location offers convenience for specific purposes.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were excellent overall, but unfortunately, I had an allergic reaction due to dust in the room, leading to swollen eyes and lips and hives. The service, while friendly, fell short in cleanliness. The location was convenient for my business trip, but the ongoing road construction made it hard to access. Despite some shortcomings, the dining options were satisfactory, though improvements in food availability were needed. The facilities were decent, but a lack of cleanliness affected my experience.
