Courtyard by Marriott Minneapolis Downtown

I had the junior suite and it is spacious: 380 sq ft. The furniture seems relatively new and looks great. One sign that the room is updated and modernized: there are outlets everywhere. The suite is not exactly two separate rooms, but is separate spaces divided by a common wall, with open access from either side of the wall. The desk is very long and there are plenty of drawers in the sleeping area and in the secondary space of the suite. My room was quiet and I had a great view to the south and to the east from many windows along a curved outer wall. I must have chosen a great time to rent this room, because the price I paid seems like a bargain. Perhaps it was because the Vikings were not in town. I used the Metro to go to the U of M football game and to the Mall of America. The station is just a couple of blocks from the hotel. I also enjoyed the Town Hall brew pub right next door.

The food was absolutely delicious. Basic bistro menu but done very very well. Staff were so friendly and helpful. I felt truly like they'd do anything for me. Bed was so comfy, rooms were quiet, shower hot, pool area clean and open for ages. Everywhere was really clean and tidy. Metro line was really close. Rooms were a comfortable temperature.

We attended the Minnesota Fringe Festival, and the hotel was ideally located close to the venues. We also appreciated the fitness center and the pool.

The staff were very friendly and professional. The hotel itself was well maintained, clean and the rooms were very comfortable.

Very nice hotel with a luxurious feel.
