Hotéis em University, Minneapolis

The staff, from the second we walked in to the moment we left were helpful, welcoming and friendly. Very accommodating. They more than made up for the physical flaws and turned the stay from a begrudged expense to a pleasant experience. There was a mistake in our room (probably my fault) and the desk goddess quickly, cheerfully, and effortlessly changed us to a room that suited our needs. For the price we paid I was appalled at the condition of the carpeting; stained beyond belief, worn, frayed. Frankly it was shocking. I know, a dumb thing to be shocked at but it was that bad. The ice machines didn't work on several floors. Parking was ridiculous; we had to pay for it and still couldn't park in the hotel lot, necessitating extra hassle on our parts. It is my understanding that there were some events going on that night (weddings, I'm guessing) that filled up the hotel lot but it seems to me it would be more equitable for those attendees to park in the parking garage rather than sending the overnight guests to the parking garage across the street.

Room was dirty. The cosmetic comforter had a blood stain (or something that looked like blood). Bellhop answered the phone every 1/3 times. Shuttle ride to conference center was very stuffy, hot.

location to the UMN. Friendly staff. no full size mirror in the in room or bath Funky bathroom with sink, mirror in the corner. the shower head did not stay in place. no mini refrigerator. nickel and dime you for little extras.

The hotel was one of the cheapest in the area, and located right next to Minnesota's campus, but there wasn't anything else to write home about.... House keeping forgot to replace towels, didn't restock coffee,and the sheets and towels would have stains and holes. They removed the garbage and forgot to replace the bag afterwards. The breakfast was subpar and the eggs were quite questionable and slimy. One morning they were out of most things in the breakfast room other than toast and yogurt. I was told it would be 10-15 minutes before they could restock everything (eggs, biscuits and gravy, sausage, etc....). This doesn't work very well when you are a business traveler and have to eat and then get to work....

No non-sense hotel - value for money.

Location was great. Great price for location with free shuttle, free wifi, free parking. Nice to have a refrigerator in the room. The front desk staff were very very nice and helpful. The rooms were quite uncomfortable. The tubs didn't drain properly which was quite gross thinking of how many people have stood in that shower with 2 inches of standing water. The beds and pillows were very uncomfortable, woke up each morning with terrible back and neck pain, so did my peer. We also were almost late for our conference as we were told the shuttle was stuck in traffic, however when the shuttle arrived 15 minutes late, there was frost all over the windows and it was freezing - obviously the shuttle was not stuck in traffic, an employee was late, which resulted in 10 others being late. Also it would have been nice to have a do not disturb sign to place on the door so staff would not to come in and clean when it is unnecessary.
