If you are looking for a place to stay while you visit Minneapolis, look no further. The coziness of the victorian-styled Wales house makes you feel in a place similar to home. Very nice and attentive administration. Also breakfast is extra yummy.

The Wales House is a nice guesthouse that offers a quite and comfortable stay for a very reasonable price! My partner and I were only there for a weekend, but many we met here were staying for weeks or months. The owners offered to help us with luggage, showed the house and our room. He also was willing to answer any questions we had about the house or the area, but for the most part the Wales House is set up in a way that you take care of yourself (which is exactly what we were looking for). Breakfast is continental with bread, fruits, granola, cereal, milk, juice, coffee and tea available. There is plenty of refrigerator and cubboard space for each room, so you can bring your own food, too. We didn't cook during our stay, but there is a nice sized fully equiped kitchen available to do so. The room we stayed in had a private bathroom with a shower (I did wish for a tub), a queen bed, hanging space, a dresser, a desk with a telephone and answering machine. The driveway and (free)parking was plowed, the sidewalks shoveled. It is listed as a B&B on tripadvisor, but is more of a guest house (which is stated on the website and the owners will tell you on the phone).

The WalesHouse is an incredibly warm and comfortable place near the University, which is very convenient for visiting researchers like me. The owners are very nice and will make you feel at home!
Highly recommended.

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. The only thing the owners ask is that you take your shoes off when you walk in. Fine with me. I would definitely stay there again.
