Ask for a corner room . Bartender Harley at The Living Room is awesome. the room mini bar is a bright pink, steel drum and is stocked to the brim (spirits , beer , soda , snacks , condoms and lube )

Roy Woodstrom

Evil Tip: when making a reservation request a handicap accessible room. They cost the same, but are about twice as big. :)

Mike Beauchamp

The 30th floor observation deck is awesome. Check it out. It's open until 6pm every day, but open late until 9pm on Thursdays if you want to catch a sunset view .

Anna

The concierge , Anna, is incredible. She really knows her stuff! Ob deck is a must-see. Get the sex pot drink for a wild night!

Raven

If you're a guest or happen to be near by, check out the observation deck on the 30th floor with 360 view of Minneapolis .

Jacob McDaniel

Skip the hotel restaurants/bars. Hit up Hell's Kitchen, just down the street, for breakfast . Grab some local beers and a sandwich at The Local for lunch . Then close the night at Bar La Grassa.

Allie

The lobby bar is crazy on Friday and Saturday nights! Live DJ , dance music , and wall-to-wall people... we had great time there at a wedding after after party!

Chris Thill

One of the best hotel 's Minneapolis has to offer. Whatever/Whenever service is on point. I can not say enough great things about this place. Prepare to be wowed!

You wouldn't know it during the day but the lobby bar becomes a big party at night. The bartenders handle the stress very well .

Excellent customer service! Everyone so friendly and serves your every need! Worth the price!

Jake Smith

You get free admission to the Foshay Tower Museum and Observation Deck if you are staying at the hotel .

Mike Beauchamp

This is the "Living Room" in the lobby. Great place to hang out and throw back a few cold ones.

Gordon Wright

Well designed rooms, good linens and quiet make for good sleep.

Mike Beauchamp

Avoid the in-room mini bar . That $36 bottle of Maker's Mark can be had a block down at the liquor store for $16.

Justin Nagel

Floors 24-28 are all suits...if you're platinum definitely request any one of these floors...2nd best are the corner rooms ! And don't forget the free Acura service!

Tau Watts

Very Sleek. Great cocktails . I will be back

Evan[Bu]

Complimentary coffee available at Manny's Steakhouse in the morning!

Aleks Bly

Best place to have fun and get wasted with your date!!:-)

Mike Beauchamp

Be careful about the parking meters around the hotel . Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. If they don't, call 311 and don't just assume you'll be okay. This guy got a ticket.

ᴡᴡᴡ.Bob.pwho.ru Erickson

Get a cool corner room for more windows and privacy.

John Schwartz

Impressive and helpful staff--they mean it whenever and wherever!

Request a room on the bottom floors. The rooms on the upper floors are significantly smaller.

Daily happy hours at both The Living Room bar and Key's Cafe

Good: free access to the viewing platform for guests. Bad: no free wifi for golds and poor overall gold recognition.

Robin Robinette

Check out the upstairs bar "Prohabition".....great views of the city !

Jen J.

Used to be a fun scene - then went on my bday - chick barfing in the ashtray in the entrance and too-crowded bar with some not nice women

Katie Chapeau

Phil is the best bartender !

Jerry Darko

This place is way too dark! It's cool at first, but gets old and impossible to deal with after the first 15 minutes

Angie Swenson

Try the Bleuphoria martini

The best place in town !
