Minnesota Opera

This was a lovely hotel located in downtown Minneapolis walking distance to stores and restaurants and mass transit. Greeted by a friendly staff upon check in. The grand hotel lobby had plenty of seating to lounge. Hotel rooms were comfortable and spacious. S dean

The breakfast available at Prairie Kitchen and Bar was amazing. We stayed for three days, and they had the best breakfast options in the area. You can have a decent, essential meal with rotating pork, chicken, and beef sausages; a variety of potatoes prepared differently every day; ham and salmon at the charcuterie board; some fruit and special juices; honey from a honeycomb; pickles; and yogurt to energize you for the day's travel. What is even more impressive is the full indoor basketball court and spacious gym, where you can actually spend time as if you live there. The swimming pool is more like a tub and does not offer much of a swimming experience. You can walk to the Minnesota Orchestra Hall, and although the skyway route is a little indirect, you do not have to step outside if you do not want to.

We liked that we had a clean room, good parking, and it was close to the US Bank Stadium. The rooms are so bare; no refrigerators, no closets, no dressers, no shelves, no ice machines (need to ask at bar), no luggage racks. The hallway was supposed to have an iron, but that was missing, too. It was nice for a one day stay, but I would be uncomfortable staying much longer.
