Hotels near Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis

Went down for business conferences. The staff was friendly. The hotel was clean. It was in a central location of downtown. We had no issues while we were there. Will book here again.

Hotel and staff were great! They made my business travel feel like it was leisure. Breakfast was delicious. I think the price is perfect for what it is. The front desk staff knows the area very well and pointed me to some great dinner recommendations. I will be back!

My son and I stayed here for 6 nights 7/2-7/8 for a national fencing tournament at the convention center. Agatha at the front desk was stellar. She was welcoming and could not have been more helpful. Also, Adam in the Living Room bar (lobby bar) was very good too. He knew my drink, remembered my name and was good with conversation. All the staff we met were really friendly and helpful. W does a great job with interior design and this hotel is the perfect mix of original Art Deco design and modern interior. Common areas are sleek, and lighting is interesting. I did not like the lack of good lighting in the elevator, as I always had to use my phone to light up the floor numbers. We stayed on the 16th floor in a 2-queen room. The room was very clean, small, and there is minimal storage, Beds and linens are comfortable. If you are staying for more than a couple days and want to unpack, there is only a small, 2 drawer unit that does not hold much. The bathroom is large and well appointed, and the bath products smell amazing. My issue is the rain shower mounted overhead, rather than a wall mounted shower head. As a woman who does not wash her hair every day, I struggled to keep my hair dry and had to do the in and out dance as the water fell from above. My son did not like it either. This type of shower is not as satisfying as a wall mounted shower head that blasts you. I also wish that the room had a regular coffee maker rather than an espresso machine. with tiny cups. There is free coffee in the lobby, but who wants to go down 16 floors for a cup of coffee, and have to return to your room? There is a diner called Keys, attached to the hotel that is really good for breakfast and lunch. The observation deck at the top of the building is great too. I had drinks with friends in the lobby bar, the Living Room, and we all enjoyed the cool, comfortable space and good service. Interestingly enough, we got to watch a pimp with 2 ladies of the evening do business with a man sitting at the bar. This very intoxicated, elderly man left arm in arm with 2 young, scantily clad 'ladies'. No one who worked there seemed at all concerned, or for that matter surprised. Overall, I liked this hotel, I liked the staff, but the room fell a little short for me on size, functionality and that silly rain shower.

I recently stayed here for work travel and loved it. My room was quiet, clean, spacious, and relaxing. I had a king bed which was soft and comfortable. I slept very well, which is saying a lot because I typically don't sleep well when I'm traveling. I loved the ”wall of windows”. Bathroom was a nice size with decent counter space to unpack all of my toiletries, also with a nice size shower. Plenty of cabinets and drawers. I really liked that the drawers had the soft touch closures where they stop about the last inch or so and slowly close so that there is no slamming. Keeps the noise down from other rooms. The doors are thick so there is actual privacy when you close the bathroom door. There is a nice big desk to set up a computer and the rooms has lots of plugs - there is also a wireless charging station by the bed. The lamps by the bed have dimmer switches so you can adjust the amount of lighting that you want, so you don't have to wake up in the morning and just be blinded with super bright light. That was nice. The exercise room had a decent selection - treadmills, elliptical, a Peloton (with straps, so you don't need clip shoes to use it), a nice set of free weights, and a bench. I wish there was a Smith machine or something, but there might not be enough room for that. But you can get a decent workout with the weights. The staff was really friendly to me. The thing I think I appreciate the most is that I was able to check in really early. I was already in the city at another hotel the previous weekend for a wedding and was staying for work, and had to check out of that hotel by noon. The Marquette allowed me to immediately check in to their hotel at noon instead of 3:00, so that was awesome. I was able to settle in immediately. That was above and beyond customer service. Also a plus - it's connected to an atrium with restaurants, shops, and skyways. Super cool. Overall I highly recommend. I'll go there again if I'm ever back in Minneapolis.

Experience was epic ! Location was perfect even in The cold weather! Food and bar tops in the country!

DO NOT STAY HERE. EXTREMELY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE BY HOTEL MANAGEMENT. BEWARE OF ATTACHED MARRIOTT PARKING” PARKING GARAGE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND STAYING SOMEWHERE ELSE. Stayed here the past week with my Nephew celebrating his high school graduation. We had a fantastic time in the city and were a quick walking distance to Target Field and the Target Center. The Twins were in town all week so we attended three of their games. We also went to the Vikings preseason game vs the Raiders, which was also within walking distance. Tonight we went to the Lynx game at the Target Center vs the Mystics. BEWARE if parking in the attached parking garage! The one plastered with all the signs that say “Marriott Parking.” Apparently they aren’t affiliated with the garage. I was told tonight by the manager that their contract ended 4 months ago. I guess that is not enough time for the garage OR the Marriott to take down all of the signs saying “Marriott Parking.” I guess it also isn’t enough time for the Marriott to train their front desk staff on the fact that they should no longer instruct guests to park there anymore since the contract for the affiliation no longer exists. I can’t help but feel like it's a flat out lie. If your affiliation with another business ended FOUR MONTHS ago, then either party would have ensured by now that all signs advertising the affiliation would be taken down. I have been grossly overcharged multiple times during our stay for parking in the attached garage. The Marriott manager wants no part of helping me, accepts no responsibility for me being told to park there, and offered absolutely no assistance in helping me contact the garage or secure a refund for the overcharges. The front desk attendant I first spoke to about it called “the manager” who was allegedly in his car driving on his way home. He made some incorrect statements to “the manager” and neglected to correct himself when I pointed out what he said was not correct. When the call ended I asked for the manager's business card. The front desk attendant went “out back” to get one for me and came back with “the manager.” When I asked if this was the manager that was just on the phone driving home, I was informed this was a “different” manager. Why in the world would he have called a manager who wasn’t working when there was a manager on duty and IN the hotel? Why was this on duty manager not the one contacted in the first place? I definitely feel like there was some shady business being pulled. I've never had a situation handled like this at a hotel before. So just beware that even though there are about 20 signs in the garage that say “Marriott Parking”, and the front desk staff may tell you to park in the attached garage, that is NOT actually Marriott Parking and if you get overcharged or have any issues in or with the garage labeled as “Marriott Parking”, Marriott will give you the brush off and NOT assist you with said issue. The only effort the manager will make to he

Visited Minneapolis for a wedding. The Renaissance was mostly average, with nothing extraordinarily good or bad to say about it. If anything we thought the room was a bit dark and the bathroom was a bit small. On the other hand the location was very good, walking distance from the River Walk and from many restaurants and shops in the Downtown Area, although it didn't feel very safe to be walking around. The bed was comfortable and the hotel felt safe. We spent some time in the Lobby Bar after checking-out, it was cozy and the staff was friendly.

You know what you’re getting with The Graduate - very comfortable and characterful rooms with soft pillows and plush carpet - but at this particular hotel we thought it had been given over to students and there was no sense of it being an exclusive space for guests. Students were sprawled around all day on lounges and tables sucking up the wifi. It didn’t feel like we were coming home at the end of the day to a welcoming and special space. We also had a very ordinary experience at check in with a young women who had zero interest in engaging with us. So much so that she didn’t tell us anything about the hotel, including that we needed to alert housekeeping if we wanted our room serviced. So we came back to the hotel at 5pm to an unmade room. It’s not an unreasonable expectation that your room will be made up for you each day in a hotel. But here, no one told us we had to ask. We also had problems with the parking boom gates not working. I’d give this place 5/5 if the front desk staff were more interested in customer service and the students didn’t treat it like their lounge room.

Good service attitude, clean and comfortable hotel, close to school, convenient transportation, the hotel's wifi usage is great, there is no lunch for breakfast and dinner 🥣, a little unaccustomed

Very new hotel (as of this review) so everything is very clean and tidy. With that said, the Hampton which is connected to it is older and owned by the same person still looks new itself so I am sure this place will continue to be kept up nicely. The staff was great. I wish I could remember the names but they were all great. Every one of them were helpful and nice in their own way. Always asking questions and making small talk. Ready to help accommodate anyone. We had many people there for a state tournament and some families decided to stay longer because of the teams success so they quickly managed to get as many booked an extra night as they could. Some had to go to the Hampton next door but that wasn't a big deal. The owner and managers were seen quite a bit working all through the day. The hotel is walking distance to all of the sports complexes. The pool is shared with Hampton next door. It is small and has a lot of chlorine but there is a pool at least. They were still working on getting their liquor license so no bar but that didn't stop us from bringing our own liquor and snacks and watching a hockey game. The rooms were typical rooms. Looks like they haven't received their dividing curtains yet as those weren't hung up. It was a really nice stay. Maybe the only drawback was you sure could hear noise from other rooms or outside and there are no bathroom fans to turn on so bring your own noise machine.
