Great service!Excellent guest service from gentleman in the breakfast area I believe his name is George This man was wonderful to our whole family that was in Minneapolis for a wedding

He was super helpful, kind and kept a very clean dining areaFront desk staff were friendly and helped my father by printing out a map Very friendlyMaintenance gentleman was super helpful and made sure we were perfectly set up in conference room Didn’t want us to have to worry about anythingRooms were clean and I slept like a baby!Manager was easy to work with while helping coordinate the rooms and paid attention to our needs!All the way around a great experience!

Stephanie Niccum

The hotel looks very nice Aside from a few housekeeping issues such as a dirty shower floor the rooms were ok Our pull out had no sheets, pillows, blankets

We had to ask for them and all we received was a blanket that was just placed on the front desk for us yo have to pick up The first night was one of the worst nights sleep I have ever had There was a group partying next door to us Loud music, yelling, slamming doors, etc We called the front desk and they “warned” them I called a 2nd time and the front desk wouldn’t answer when I called on the room phone so I called with my cell phone They “warned” them again alas this party was not going to stop and they were still at it at 2:30 am When I asked the front desk about it in the morning I was met with contention My suggestion if you have an issue with noise complaints don’t even bother with the front desk just call the cops The workers here are useless The breakfast wad also less than to be desired They have toasters with cream cheese and butter but only offered pre wrapped muffins What a joke

Alison Tisdell

The service was extremely poor The staff was not knowledgeable about any questions we had We had reserved a double queen room and were put in a single king room

This does not work when we have children with us The light socket in our room had prongs from a cord stuck in it The doors didn’t close all the way They held over $1100 on my card while we were there When we asked for clean towels for our room they were left sitting on the dirty hallway floor instead of put in our room I will never be staying at this hotel again

The rooms are just so beautifully done, bar tender is great and can make any cocktail you requestBut two nights when I couldn’t sleep, Bri was at the front desk at 1am both times to ring me up for a late night snackHer energy is beautiful and infectious

Middle of the night and this girl has me smiling and laughing and she just makes you feel like everything is greatHer customer service is something that is rarely found these days This property is an A+ in my book— from the front desk, to the personnel, to the rooms, I can’t wait to come back

Phillip Hagerty

great pool table and shuffle board but the breakfast is minimal and a security person came into my room at 1am unlocked the door and walked in on me The rooms are fine but it’s trying to be ‘trendy’ by giving you more colors but less nice amenitiesUpdate: formerly gave 2 stars but the management reached out and rectified the situation Very pleased with their way of handling the situation

Dave Senter

Fine hotel, nice rooms, comfortable bed, small refrigerator Limited parking available, but it’s pricey Continental breakfast items for sale along with 2-3 hot breakfast plates

Decent bar available at 5 pm, but no restaurant Limited restaurants within walking distance Driving to restaurants or bars in the area is an option, but then there’s the parking problem Metered street parking is available if you can find an open spot Uber is good but prices vary substantially by time of day and demand level from surrounding events Walking distance to the stadium

I arrived shortly before the 3 pm check in I was informed my room was not ready yet No big deal

The worker let me know that he would tell me once my room was ready He must have forgotten since he shortly after 3 pm I waited in the long line that had formed to speak with a different front desk worker We had booked the king suite with the jacuzzi tub It was extremely difficult to open and close the door to the room The room was put together but the fixtures were questionable The front pannel for the tub was halfway off The room smelt slightly wet The floor by where the tile and carpet meet was spongyThe mattress was off of the rotate cycle – the tag of the mattress was January, February, March We stayed in August They do not properly flip and rotate the mattress Only noticed this because we check for bed bugs None of those thankfullyThe grout in the shower looked dirty The wall by the bathroom sink was dirty, like someone splashed coffee on the wall The wall by the garbage and mini fridge was also dirty, pretty sure there was blood on the wallBreakfast was okay The pool area was clean

Jessica Wood

There were SEVERAL hairs on the floor of then bathroom The bathroom was filthy Workout room filthy

Bathroom near check-in desk filthy Walls dented and dirty Both pools closed with no warning I checked in, worked out, found some sort of bone/food item on the floor of the gym, went to the room to find what appeared to be hair from several different people on the bathroom floor, asked for a refund and left I have no idea where these good reviews are coming from

Samantha Visinski

If I could leave less than one star, I would This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in The rooms are filthy

There is hair everywhere Hair all over the bathroom floor, on the towels, in the bed The room was dusty, cob webs, tile coming off the walls in the bathroom, what looks like blood on the bathroom walls, the mirrors and windows have prints/splashes all over them I had to change the sheets myself When I asked the manager, Charlie, to have a full room cleaning and came back to see nothing done he told me that I only asked for it to be dusted (which it wasn’t) and didn’t care about my concerns of the cleanliness of the room When I went back again he told me there is nothing he can do, rolled his eyes and had an incredibly bad attitude The breakfast is a small kitchen where you make your own waffles, stale bread, and cold eggsI will never stay at this hotel or it’s brand due to the way I was treated by the manager, Charlie, and the lack of cleanliness

So glad we found this Marriott hotel It’s clean, simple décor, modern, bright with ceiling to floor windows Love the hydration station on each floor along with the ice option

And, the rooftop bar is quaint and lovely Ample parking For being on the intersection of two freeways, it was very quiet as well! The TV is smart so I could stream my music Best of all, the staff was very accommodating on each interaction, from the phone to in person, were so NICE!!

Todd Anlauf

We live nearby but stay here for ‘stay-cations’ when we have a reservation for a good restaurant (Robbinsdale, Downtown Minneapolis, etc) It’s a nice location outside of Downtown Minneapolis (but still very close)

Rooms are modern, comfortable and quiet The 6th floor ‘rooftop’ bar is a great place – particularly for a hotel bar The bourbon selection is better than most good restaurants and the bar tenders are great (top notch service and also fun) – we would even hang out there sometime when we weren’t staying on premises All around the staff are very nice and helpful We look forward to visiting again

We really enjoyed our stay, and rarely write reviews, but had to call out how awesome the accommodations were We had a terrible Airbnb experience and left immediately with 2 small dogs, and after the calling the hotel, they quickly accommodated us and provided everything we needed whenever we visited the lobby, or asked questions The rooms are clean, quiet, and all the amenities are at your fingertips including laundry, nearby grocery store/dining, and safe parking

Thank you again to the wonderful staff!

Anita Kozan

I chose the Homewood Suites in St Louis Park MN after having a fire in my home and having to leave because of smoke damage The front desk staff, housekeepers, breakfast room chef and host/hostess, and maintenance staff were all strictly first class! My suite was wonderful, clean and beautifully appointed

The hotel lobby and breakfast area were lovely and comfortable The staff were absolutely the best! Thank you all for taking such good care of me during a difficult time

Scott K

Stayed here before, decent hotel, shower not the best but rooms are spacious Don’t plan on Hilton coffee all day, they will leave a cold pot out and not brew anymore Housekeeping leaves dirty sheets and towels in piles down your hallway all day and night, did not appreciate that, happened last time as well

Funky orders and dirty sheets are not what I was hoping for

We are very experienced global travellers We stayed here for 5 weeks in winter and we are now here for another 5 weeks in summer, visiting from Australia It’s great value for money, convenient location and good amenities and facilities

The rooms were well equipped for cooking, the parking is close to rooms, the pool was well maintained but could use some shade The staff are always ready to help Highly recommended Picture is view from room 327

Mark Edmiston

Good location in St Louis Park, restaurants, movie theater, and a supermarket all within minutes of the hotel Breakfast was ok, some days better than others as they rotate the food Had to keep asking for ice and other things, very slow to respond to requests

Ice machine was broken and they had to get it from another location It was quiet which I liked, no screaming kids or loud adults Just a little pricey

Hotel is near the major highway Stayed for work right across the road Staff was extremely helpful when trying to check in early from a flight (@ 11 AM)

Had to wait about 30 minutes but we went to grab some food and returned to a ready room Pretty good but simple continental breakfast If you have a view from the south side, it’s pretty nice If there’s only one thing to nitpick, the room we stayed in was a tiny bit outdated but nonetheless clean and spacious Will stay here again when in town

Mark Zamek

We stayed here recently during vacation with our 6 lb Maltese On day three we were called by the front desk and asked to check out of the Hotel because our 6 lb dog (who has never bit anyone in his life but will lick you as long as you want) bit one of the staff When I enquired as to details I was given none

We always had the do not disturb on our door None of the staff was interested in talking to us Then when we got back to our room the room was cleaned and ready for other guests and our things from the room were all removed So in addition to displacing my family and having to scramble to find another place to stay, I now had to track down the manager to get our thingsI am titanium and my wife is ambassador level so it’s not like we don’t have status The staff here didn’t careAs sourcing manager for a multi National global company, I have taken Marriott off of our approved vender list I can’t chance that our employees will be displaced and distracted from business with incidence such as this We will focus on the Hilton brand

Not horrible, but far from good My room was dirty when I checked in, stains all over in the bathroom Hot tub had a black film floating in it

Part of the ceiling was missing in the pool room From the look of it for a long time Staff was nice and the breakfast was better than the average hotel All and all for the cheap price its not bad

Angela Faubion

First room that I was given hadn’t been cleaned since the previous guest left Second room was better but not by much The soap had been placed on a dirty soap dish that wasn’t wiped off

I noticed dirty wet towels behind a door as I was leaving in the morning that didn’t belong to me I told the staff but they didn’t care The pool was green & the chlorine was so strong that you could smell it from the hotel desk When entering the pool room, I had to leave right away because the chlorine burned my eyes I will never stay at this location again! Hotel is GROSS!!

Jason Sethre

Stayed there last night Hotel wreaked of Marijuana everywhere in the building Went down to workout in the exercise room at 5:30 am, no towels

Went to front desk to get towels Lobby had the worst pot smell of anywhere in the building We talked to friends of ours, who also stayed in the hotel that night The pot smell was so strong that all of us could smell it in our rooms throughout the night This hotel has a weed issue We won’t be staying there again

Where do I even start to share how truly remarkable and fabulous this motel is! We were there with family to celebrate our daughter’s wedding Particularly outstanding was the check-in staff and the lady who managed the bistro bar Every question and request was more than adequately addressed and we truly felt like we were VIPs

Teri in sales was our point of contact and we could have not been served better by her, from the get-go! Tami at the West and Brittani at the Courtyard were also particularly helpful! Thank you, thank you, thank you, we are so grateful We are now Marriott customers from here on out!

Dee

Pleasantly surprised Typically don’t frequent Marriott, was concerned because the exterior looked oldChecked in extremely late, (midnight) young lady at the desk was professional, informative and courteous

Room was clean and organized, plenty of coffee and water availableStarbucks on-site and restaurantComfortable bed and sofa, close proximity to where I need to be, good experience no issues, will return!

Lisa Cherveny

We were here for a wedding Beautiful venue, good food, friendly staff What was lacking was the handicap accessibility

My mother in law has to use a wheelchair Some of the doors didn’t have the push button, and we really struggled to get her in the restroom I had to have someone hold the door for us and barely got through the door Had she wheeled herself there she wouldn’t have been able to get in Maybe there’s a restroom more handicap accessible, but I didn’t see any signs Beautiful place, just not very handicapped friendly

I have stayed at this property in 2020 everything went fine I recently stayed in March my stay was fine Everything was good until a few days after I check out i get noticed via my HR that it was cake left all over one of my rooms

The room i personally stayed in I been working for Hilton since March or 2010 I have traveled to other country’s as a Hilton team member and never had a experience like this Before I check out rooms I even make sure everything is good and leave a tip No way on earth I would ever let my 11 year old son leave a room in that condition or even attempt to do something like that in a room Yes I’m saying someone at this hotel did that to my room Due to the fact that I don’t have pictures of videos of when i checked out it’s basically my word against theirs Since this experience I will be recording everytime I’m checking out a room

Kaartikeya Gupta

I had a number of issues with this placeCons first:LACKED IN THESE THREE AREAS:CleanlinessSafetyAmenitiesThe first room that we were given was NOT properly cleaned there was still beer bottles and towels on the floor from the previous residence (see photos) It was absolutely filthy

Luckily one of the staff was very nice and was able to find us another room immediately His name was Jeremy and he was very kind and professional about itAlso they didn’t clean our room on any of the days that we were there until we explicitly asked them to That was quite frustratingWhen they did clean the room they brought us dirty towels that were stained yellow like it was from urine (see attached photos)Next safety was an issue The main point that was an issue was the level of ice in the parking lot Even though I was extremely careful I ended up slipping and hurting my arm The parking lot had no salt or anything to ensure patrons could safely walk to their car This is a huge safety concern especially if you plan on leaving the hotel or renting a carNext was the issue with the amenities The plug point in the room for USB charging was not working by the bed The shower had no soap or shower gel in the dispenser There were spatulas and other cooking amenities BUT there was no stove or anything to cook on The bathroom had a tissue box but no tissues in itPros:The location is quite nice and is right along a major highway so it has easy access to the surrounding area as well as downtown Also there’s a convenience store within walking distance which makes it extremely easy for quick snacks There’s also a restaurant and a number of other fast food joints in the surrounding area making this a nice place to stay for a couple days Also the staff was very friendly and professional The decor in the rooms and throughout the facility is very modern and clean looking I do appreciate the aestheticoverall the pictures of this place online show a very nice and clean environment but that was not my experience I do not recommend staying here If you can afford it I would spring for something slightly nicer If you cannot I had relatively good experiences at the Red roof inn which is just down the street

Zack Lokey

We stayed there last week and the room and hotel were nice However, the service we have received was less than what we have ever gotten at a Hilton brand hotelAn item was left there on accident and we called within an hour of leaving and left a message with housekeeping and the front desk about where the item was left

No one followed up with us on if they had found it or not I called the next 3 days each and got no responses i was transferred to corporate who said they would escalate the case and find out why i was never contacted Several days later after hearing nothing again, i emailed corporate and they said it would have to be handled at the hotel since it fell under lost and foundI would have been content if someone called and said they were looking for it or could not find it But it has been 9 days since our stay we i have still received no communication from the hotelWe have stayed at Hilton hotels many times and have been overall pleased with the experience in the past However, I would not recommend staying at this particular location It will meet your needs if you just need a room to stay and want appropriate service during your stay If you are looking for good service before and after your stay, i would encourage you to find a different hotel

Serena DeMars

Check in was a breeze Be aware there is a $50 refundable deposit but that is typical Room was clean, spacious, & modern

Unfortunately there was maintenance being done on the pool & hot tub during my stay Affordable for Hilton if you book through a 3rd party site I don’t really have anything bad to say about this place My stay was amazing!

S D

I paid about the same amount to stay at the Holiday in as I did here and definitely would go with Holiday in instead The double tree does not provide free breakfast in the morning like Holiday in didHoliday inn has a big breakfast selection and really good! Fresh fruits, juices, and healthy stuff

Also the hot tub was down so I took stars away for that Also they had barely any channels 😕On a positive note for Double Tree, I liked that double Tree was close restaurants, shopping, theater and groceries stores though!

Teri Sellner

This hotel was so nice and accommodating I had eye surgery next door and they gave us exactly the kind of room we needed, ground floor, handicap accessible room The front desk employees were super nice, especially Michelle and Mandie

The weather was bad, and we didn’t know if we should stay another day and they were very understanding We ended up staying anyway and were very glad we did Super breakfast, too! We will definitely stay here again!

Ellie Greenhouse

The room was very comfortable and the perfect size for our small family There was even room to open our pack n play The hot tub was broken but the pool itself is heated so that was an added bonus

The breakfast was a little different than I expected, but I think it’s fair given that we’re still in a pandemic Overall, we’d definitely stay here again

Brianna Tuttle

I stayed here for my brothers baseball tournament and it was a nice hotel to stay at for 5 daysThe breakfast had many options to choose from and a breakfast room where you could sit down The pool and hot tub were nice and relaxing

Could have been a little cleaner The staff was super friendly They let our baseball team and family use the breakfast room to eat dinner with everyone Rooms were manageable The pullout couch was the thing I had the biggest problem with When you pulled it out in the normal rooms, it was hitting the nightstand right there and you had to go over the whole thing in order to get to the kitchen area and the door It was also very uncomfortable I ended up just sleeping on the couch itself rather than the pullout That’ll be the better option Also the elevator was a little scary Everytime I went on it, I felt like it was gonna break down Hard starts and hard stops The area isn’t the best either A man tried to offer me to come in his car in the parking lot It was really creepy at night But very close to fun activities like Target field and mall of America! If you are trying to stay in this hotel for a vacation, I do not recommend it

The Hampton Inn was a lovely place to stay My room/ suite beautiful, super clean and freshFor me, I needed the peace and quiet and time to relax and recoup

Especially appreciate the dog-friendly policy Very welcoming to visitors traveling with pets Location is convenient to many downtown destinations

Adjacent ground level parking lot Staff helpful and polite Common areas were clean and pleasant My only complaint is that we were not notified upon check-in that we needed to request housekeeping services, so we were disappointed to return from a day of sightseeing to a room which had not been cleaned

I would not recommend a stay here, primarily due to rude and incompetent staff We had to get our keys reprogrammed each day as 3 different employees seemed to only know how to program them until 1:00 pm

the next day They then lied to us that we must have been putting the cards next to our phones Both cards held by different people stopped working at the same time with each set we got And neither was keeping the card anywhere near their phones We then encountered people in the elevator that had to the same thing happen to them each day, and also encountered rude staffThis hotel is listed as a “plus”, but does not include the basics They do not have a complimentary breakfast, there is not a microwave in most rooms, a safe was in the location above the fridge where the microwave should have been This was extremely inconvenient, and added extra costs on an already quite expensive hotel nightly rateVery disappointed

The room was nice love the tiny kitchenette and the bedroom being separate but, that’s where the fun ends I spent two nights and it cost me over 60000 which is way more then I could afford but it was our anniversary

Restaurant is way overpriced for the food I ordered room service got two drinks, a burger, a dinner with a very small piece of meatloaf, two oysters, 4 bite sized donuts with cold chocolate syrup and two deviled eggs, they charged me 17000 I didn’t even get the fries that was supposed to come with the burger What’s worse is the food was cold The hotel charged 1200 a day for parking I was told nothing about being charged for parking when I checked in Got a few drinks at the bar drinks were between 1000-2000 each It was 1000 just for a shot They didn’t even give you a receipt so you could at least see what you were getting charged for The man that works overnight is very eude I was trying to ask questions he kept walking away not listening and kept saying theywill help you when you check out I wanted a detailed receipt of everything we got charged but all he said is when you check out I mean that’s fine I can wait till I check out it’s the tone of voice and the way he acted

Simple hotel Great prices Even better staff

They went above and beyond to make sure I had a pleasant stay They have entertainment so I could get out of my room without getting dressed up to go anywhere Rooms are modern and fun Check-in was a breeze Most hotels in the city don’t have free parking and Moxy is no exception, but street parking was easily available I felt safe my entire stay I couldn’t have picked a better cost effective hotel for my stay I will be staying here in the future

We enjoyed our stay in the green room at the Moxy Got locked out of our room and staff couldn’t get us in to enjoy our bed sadly – but the night was still spectacular Luckily, there was a bed in the living room (which we did not mind, but it sucked paying a lot of money to sleep in the living room)

Mind you, the staff did offer a different room for us to sleep in, but we didn’t take the offer Had a birthday party and our friends were definitely impressed by the room and hotel overall! RECOMMEND!

Kim Pollack

Overall this is an adequate hotel We stayed two nights The room was clean and the bed was comfy

However the choice to spend money on useless room decor (namely electric guitar and amp) in exchange for typical amenities you find in a hotel was a waste in our minds Having an in room refrigerator, cups and available parking would have made for a better stay Sure the complimentary cocktail and live jazz was a nice touch The website speaks of cost for parking…but it isn’t near the hotel or associated with it The surprise after a 12 hour drive wasn’t well received All that said you’ll find this hotel adequate but trying too hard to be something it isn’t

So glad we found this Marriott hotel It’s clean, simple décor, modern, bright with ceiling to floor windows Love the hydration station on each floor along with the ice option

And, the rooftop bar is quaint and lovely Ample parking For being on the intersection of two freeways, it was very quiet as well! The TV is smart so I could stream my music Best of all, the staff was very accommodating on each interaction, from the phone to in person, were so NICE!!

Todd Anlauf

We live nearby but stay here for ‘stay-cations’ when we have a reservation for a good restaurant (Robbinsdale, Downtown Minneapolis, etc) It’s a nice location outside of Downtown Minneapolis (but still very close)

Rooms are modern, comfortable and quiet The 6th floor ‘rooftop’ bar is a great place – particularly for a hotel bar The bourbon selection is better than most good restaurants and the bar tenders are great (top notch service and also fun) – we would even hang out there sometime when we weren’t staying on premises All around the staff are very nice and helpful We look forward to visiting again
