“Enjoyed our stay... but lacked on food choices.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

We got a great deal here of only $65. a night on Expedia. We stayed for two nights the weekend before Valentine's Day. We were happy we were able to check in at 9 am on Friday morning as they had rooms available! (We got there early as we came on the Northstar Train). The rooms were great... we were very happy with the room; we just wish we had requested a view of downtown Mpls. (IDS, etc.)... we were looking out at the convention center side, so not as nice. A couple of little complaints though.... very dry air in the rooms, towels were also really dry (not soft at all), no phone book in the room so we could order in pizza, no room service menu in print OR on the TV. So... we had to go to the restaurant, which is probably what they wanted! If you go... do some research ahead of time on area restaurants you may want to dine at. We enjoyed Dave's in the skyway for breakfast Friday (not open on weekends... and everything on the skyway is closed!!!) We hope to hit Hell's Kitchen next time too... so many people told us that is a winner. We do like the location of the hotel... really close to the convention center/ orchestra hall/ skyways. It is really pretty, and the health club/pool looked awesome too, although we didn't have time for them!

Dear Tammy,

Thank you for sharing your comments about your overall great stay at the Hilton Minenapolis! Appreciate your very kind remarks regarding our guest rooms, location and health club and pool. For your information we do offer humidifiers if you feel the air in the room is to dry. All rooms should have a room service menu in them. I apologize if that was not the case during your stay. We do have great food options at the hotel. Our restaurant SkyWater offers an amazing breakfast buffet with cooked to order omelets and many other choices. Lunch and dinner you will find a mid-west cuisine with many local favorites such as walleye. Our lounge also has a menu with small plate appetizers, great burgers or order off of our full restaurant menu. We offer every cocktail imaginable or select from 14 regionaly crafted draft brews. Also in our lobby is Barron's Brew which offers a full spectrum of Starbucks coffee products and savory delights.
Thank you agian for your review and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Sincerely,

John E. Luke
General Manager

“OK but needs improvement”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

Stayed at the Hilton for a conference last summer. While the staff was friendly (especially the staff on the concierge level and in the restaurant), our room was quite dated and in need of refurbishment. Weather was cool while we were there, and unfortunately, the heater in our room did not work, just pumped out cold air. Although two different workmen were sent to our room three times over six days, the heater was never fixed. And one of the workmen said it was consistent pratice to take parts from one room to replace those in another, but that in this instance the system was so old there was nothing they could do ...
Great location - walking distance to a number of good restaurants, the convention center and the ball park (a little far but still doable). And again, friendly and caring staff. But infrastructure needs assistance. I would try someplace else next time.

Room Tip: Good luck on a cold day ...

Thank you for your kind words in recognizing our staff as friendly and caring! I will be sure to personally share your comments with our team members thanking them for their hospitality. I also want to thank you for recognizing our convenient location to events and activities in downtown Minneapolis. I was sorry to read that you could not get the temperature to your required comfort level. Rest assured that this is a highly unusual situation and not typical of our high service levels. Our heating and air conditioning is monitored 24 hours a day by licensed property operations engineers and for your situation not to be resolved is unacceptable to me. Would you be so kind as to call me on my direct line at 612-397-4800 so I may follow up personally with a few questions and I will then meet with our property operations team. I would also love to receieve some direct feedback regarding our hotel decor. We completed a $15 million dollar decor change a few years ago and I would appreciate your insights. Thank you again for your stay at the Hilton Minneapolis and I look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
Sincerely,

John E. Luke

“Pretty good but decor needs an update”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

Stayed here for business in February 2012 and was upgraded to the top floor, which was the Executive level. Service was great at the desk. There is a good parking garage underneath the hotel, which is nice during the winter. The room was clean with a nice view of downtown Minneapolis.

However, the rooms need to be updated. The folding mirrored closet doors and carpet screamed '70s. I noticed gouges in the wood furniture and multiple dirty stains on two lampshades. The TV was huge with a lot of HD channels but the remote didn't work. I called for a replacement but it never came.

I noticed a lot of senior guests, maybe the older decor is still around because of the target clientele?

Thank you for your comments regarding great service at the desk. I will be sure to share your kind words with our team. Regarding the decor we did complete a $15 million dollar decor change that finished in 2008. We did not replace the closet doors however that is under review. Our clientele is extremely diverse as we have meetings, business and leisure travel customers.

I look forward to welcoming you back upon your next opportunity to stay in Minenapolis.

“Great hotel in a great city”

Hotel was extremely clean, restaurant/gym facilities were good. The staff were very responsive. The location is great- within walking distance to the conference center and dozens of great restaurants. I would absolutely stay here again.

“Very nice hotel in a good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

Stayed at this Hilton on a business trip. The staff and accomodations are very good. I had room service one night and it was just marginal....and way overpriced. The food we had for our meetings was very good and the service was excellent. I had a room on the 21st floor and it was modern and a decent sized room. I didn't get a chance to use the workout facility. I was told that the main floor restaurant is good, but didn't eat there myself. I stayed at this hotel a few years ago and it appears that they do a very nice job of keeping it looking new. It was very clean throughout.

Room Tip: This hotel has about 23 floors, so those up high have a nice view.
