Stayed at the Wales House for a week during a conference in May 07 - a very pleasant change from downtown. The location is excellent (on a good bus route and near lots of bars and restaurants in Dinkytown), the place is very clean, the service is good and the price is superb.

Located in one of the city's best neighborhoods -- a college area directly adjacent to the University of Minnesota -- the Wales House is convenient to public transit and a great selection of restaurants, cafes, and bookstores.

This inexpensive, friendly bed and breakfast (run by Kelly and Julie) is ideal for anyone visiting the University of Minneapolis, being located close to one campus, with other areas of the university easily accessible via campus shuttle bus. Other forms of public transport are available nearby, and... more

We have stayed at the Wales House three times in the past three years and always look forward to going back. It is not a romantic getaway type of B&B, but it is comfortable and friendly.
