The room was fine -- clean, with everything we needed. The property was also fine, though the stairwell was cluttered and appeared to be in some state of repair. The location was perfect for us. There was no restaurant but we had a great lunch at SeaSalt, nearby. The next morning I picked up fruit and a muffin at the nearest grocery store while getting my 10K steps in. It was much better than I expected!

Check in was easy, the room was nice and recently redone and clean. It's a convenient location. The exterior needs renovation, but I sense the owners care about the interior first, which is good. I felt safe at all times. It is located near the airport, local busy streets, and the light rail line, so expect some noise from those facilities.

Would recommend to a friend
Never been to Minnesota before but stayed here so I could take the train to the mall or America and the twins game. It was clean, safe, close to the train stations, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely staying here if I end up back in the twin cities!

The property needs a lot of work.When I arrived and looked at the building,I almost turned back.The paint on the walls as falling apart.The stairway entry had a lot of construction stuff and junk.The place smelled bad,musty/old carpet.The room appeared to have been newly remodeled .It was clean except for the curtains with holes that need replacement.The door did not lock from inside.I appreciated the shower cap and a comfortable bed.They need to work on making the bed too.The sheets were hanging,which is not a big deal but is something that makes the room look better when you walk in.Had to clean the inside of the door because it was dirty.It was hot but the hallway air conditioning was not turned on.The two staff I met were really nice.I pointed out to them what I have listed above and their response was “they are always remodeling’.Felt somewhat unsafe but everything turned out okay.Its a place that I would not return though.

Our first impression when checking in was that we weren't sure what we were going to get. But the room was better than what we thought. It was clean suited our needs for an overnight stay. There were a few cosmetic things, but again, it was clean and that is what matters most. We would stay there again

The owners were very friendly and accommodating. The blue line is a block away so very convenient. Sheets, towels, etc. All clean. Very quiet. The only slight negatives would be that the carpet itself is a little worn and the Wi-Fi is a little spotty. But overall we were very happy with the stay and would stay here again.

Check in was easy and the hotel is right on the Blue line, so we could easily get to various points around the city, including the airport, with a $4 all-day pass.

Property is next to rail tracks, is on a street split by the tracks (you can’t cross them) so if you’re not on hotels side oof the street, good luck getting there. Arriving in the evening, we found the next morning that the refrigerator was warm. Management told us of course we had to turn the refrigerator on. No mention of that anywhere Bed was comfortable, floors squeaky. Average stay.
