It's not a 4 star hotel but the rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, and the shower is hot. Excellent value at the U of M for sub-100 bucks. More

Not bad! Staff was friendly and courteous! Room was very clean. Needed to book an extra night because of a death in the family and the night clerk was very accommodating with helping us with our reservation. We would stay again. The construction outside wasn't too bad once you got used to where you were going. Would stay again. More

Stayed one night in order to attend the MN Boys' State Basketball Tournament. Several first-round games were at Williams Arena and this hotel is just a short walk. Also, the parking was FREE for two days, which was a big plus! Staff was friendly, room was clean, breakfast was acceptable with waffles, fruit, cereal, oatmeal, etc. Several fast-food restaurants are... More

Dear CazCoach, Thanks for taking time to write a review! We always love to hear from our guests attending area events throughout the year. Our close location to TCF Stadium, Mariucci, and Ridder arena makes us one of the best options for Special Events in the area due to our parking, breakfast, and shuttle service. The MSHSL tournaments are always... More

Is it fancy, nope, is it upscale boutique, not on your life. It's convenient, clean, courteous and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They need to upgrade the rooms slightly but what the heck, we had a small refrigerator and a continental breakfast provided. It's fairly quiet if you're there on an off-sports weekend. We stayed here a... More

We stayed here one night for a campus tour. The hotel is perfectly located for that. It is very clean and the price was lower than others in the area, especially since parking was free. The beds were fine and the fridge plus table with 2 chairs are nice features. Wifi was spotty and slow. It was reasonably quiet when... More

We have stayed at this location numerous times. The rooms have always been clean, and the staff very pleasant and accommodating. We stay at this hotel when we need to go to Fairview hospital.

The hotel was located in a very convenient spot near the University of Minnesota campus, and the staff was extremely helpful with any questions I had. Additionally, there is a complimentary shuttle every hour which goes to the light rail. My only complaint is that when I called in before my stay asking about transportation to and from the airport,... More

We knew when we booked, the hotel was the cheapest we could find and had read reviews before booking. The room was clean, we found the bed to be very comfortable and the bathroom was adequate.
