Was visiting from out of town with a friend to see the Twin Cities Auto Show.
This hotel is in a great location close to the Minneapolis Convention Center and you can enter the skyway across the street in the parking garage.
The hotel is close to restaurants and shopping on Nicollet Mall and Hennipen Ave. I would suggest getting there early as this hotel had limited parking spaces, which is located along the side of the hotel.
You first must check in and the hotel attendant will supply you with a parking number that corresponds to the parking space outside. If the parking spaces are taken, you will need to park across the street in the parking garage.
Holiday Inn will charge you $15 a night to park your car in their lot. This hotel was running a special for the Twin Cities Auto Show. When we checked in, we were upgraded to a suite, which was nice. We stayed in room 224, pictures supplied. The room was a little out dated but we where there for two nights and wasn't there too look at the decor. The jets in the whirlpool where a little low key and could have been better.
The fake plant was so dusty in the room, I'm surprised the leaves could stand up straight. I feel the staff could throw away the dusty plant.
The hotel does have a pool but we didn't use it. When you pull up to the hotel, only two cars can fit in the space in front of the hotel. The only way to get into the parking lot is to use a call box which dials to the front desk. They will ask for your name and parking space number and the gate well open. When you leave, you have too use a code.
I would recommend this hotel, it was clean and in good walking distance to resturants and shopping.
