We have a daughter who is attending UMN. When I made the call for the reservation, I told them we were visiting UMN and we got a discount. This hotel is two blocks from Territorial Hall (dorm). She had her last exam on Tuesday night and we needed to move her big items (futton, bike, TV, etc) from her dorm... More

Overall, this isn't a bad place to stay. They room was comfy and clean. The beds were comfortable and the place was quiet. But, there is no parking. It cost $12/night to park in the ramp near the hotel. The club downstairs closes a little past 10...even though they say 11. But there is Applebees and Starbucks. The staff are... More

Thank you for taking the time to post about our clean and comfortable accommodations. Since we have an Applebee’s and full service Starbucks on property, our lounge hours are limited; however once we complete our multi-million dollar renovation it will be open for all meal periods and much later in the evenings. We’ve just started the first phase and everybody... More

Stayed 2 nights at the hotel, May 11th-12th 2012. There were four of us traveling together and we booked 2 rooms with king beds. We arrived on Friday around 7p.m. We waited in a long line to check in because they only had one person working the desk. The person at the desk did not seem like he knew what... More

The University Hotel was a great place to stay. My organization was hosting a conference at the University of Minneapolis and the rooms were clean, the staff was friendly and helpful and the location was great. Lacy did a greta job helping me coordinate all of the room block rooms and was a pleasure to work with. More

I planned four two-week summer workshops and eight two-day workshops at the University Hotel over the course of four years. During this time, I worked with sales staff, meeting staff, banquet staff, and car valets, all of whom offered us the highest level of service.

We enjoyed our stay at the former Radisson, now The University Hotel. SOOOOO much construction in the area made for difficult travel by car...would have really appreciated a sign or two with arrows pointing you to the hotel. You would think it would be a good investment as it appears construction will be going on for a VERY long time!!!!... More
