Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Downtown Minneapolis by IHG

Little Hotel Packs a Punch We stayed here while in town for the Gymnastics Trials at the Target Center. This location is about a 20 minute walk from the TC and just a few blocks from Nicollette Ave where there are many restaurants. We walked back from the TC at night (group of 3-4) and felt safe, although the streets were fairly empty after dark. Pretty quiet area, you need to walk a block or two to Caribou Coffee or other amenities. No problem with Ubers at all. This hotel was small, but had it all. Clean pool and hot tub? Check. Complimentary paper? Clean room with comfortable beds and microwave and fridge? Check. Airline schedules displayed in lobby? Check. Free breakfast? Check. Housekeeping were particularly kind and for the Target Center hotel partner price, it could not be beat.

Holiday Inn express… is pretty nice. Very close to the Convention Center. Relatively quiet. Very clean. Decent breakfast. Decor is bland to ugly. Toiletries are large sizes so no single use plastic —except for the cups. Even if you try to save a cup for the next day, housekeeping will throw it out. Helpful front desk staff. A bit odd to need to key card into the hotel, 24 hours a day, even though there’s a front desk attendant. Nonsmokers only! Overall, a good place to stay if one is in town for a conference, and not looking for frills.

Friendly and clean The hospitality was amazing. The concierge was knowledgeable about the area including affordable parking; and printed me out a map for my travel. Everything was spotless, from room 203, the gym, the pool, and the dining area. The cleaning lady was very friendly with my aunt (who stayed in the room the whole four days); I really appreciated that. The complimentary breakfast was impressive, delicious, and had vegetarian options. Lastly, I would give this Hotel five stars- It wasn't my first second or third choice; but was the only one to take my Chime and Ca$h App cards. The cost was the best, the door security was great, and the truly hospitable down-to-Earth staff made me feel welcome after a long day work training. The only thing... I think COVID closed the business center on site; but I was able to e-mail a document I needed printed, to the front desk so...

Great 2 night stay. My wife and I arrived around 4:30pm, Friday August 11th. Staying for 2 nights, going to the Ed Sheeran concert on Saturday night at the U.S. Bank stadium. We just drove right to the Leamington parking ramp, the entrance located pretty much across the street from the hotels main entrance. If you had a lot of luggage, there is a small pull off spot just in front of the hotel. We walked our stuff over to the hotel. Check in was great. The young woman and young man working the front desk at that time were super nice and friendly. Very helpful with the questions I had too. Everyone that we ran into from the hotel were very nice to us. Including the staff working the breakfast area. Our room was on the 2nd floor. Overlooking a small controlled parking area. Our room looked good, and smelled good. It was very clean. The room, along with hotel itself, appeared to be in very good shape. It really did not look like a very old property. And if it was old, they have been taking very good care of it. Everything in our room worked well. There was a microwave, a mini fridge, a Keurig machine, and a safe. The shower worked very well. Plenty of hot water. The shower spray was very, very, strong. The room wasn’t the quietest I have ever been in. Breakfast was much, much better than expected. I enjoyed the biscuits and gravy, the breakfast sausages, and the eggs were better than most hotels. Again for me, the breakfast really worked. We did not move our car out of the ramp for the duration of our visit. About a day and a half’s worth of time. Total cost was $21 dollars. Not bad. We walked everywhere, or took the light rail to get around. The government light rail station was not that far of straight shot walk from the hotel. Easy to use the ticket machines. We did check out via my cell phone, and bypassed visiting one more time with the front desk clerk. We had a great 2 night stay, and if there was a need, and the price was right as it was this time, I would certainly return.

HORRIBLE HOTEL HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT DO NOT BOOK HERE! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE WORST HOTEL EVER! The front desk managers are nasty and rude. Gave us so many issues checking in at 2am & when we asked for a late check out they refused and said “I don’t care”. Go to the Westin
