“Will Return on Our Next Trip to Minneapolis - a Fabulous Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Every single staff member we encountered treated us with the kind of professional friendliness that makes you feel like you are the most important guests in the house. There is on site parking, which is a bonus in Minneapolis, so we could park our Harley and walk over the bridge to the very neat "Nordeast" with lots of restaurants, bars, shops and things to see. From the Inn's outside patio you can see the Minneapolis skyline and a walking path near the river is in front. The rooms are what you'd expect in a historical building -interesting and not ordinary; they are clean and you feel kind of special while in the room. We visited friends who live in Minneapolis and will definitely stay here again when we come back. We will also recommend the Nicolette Inn to our riding friends back home as the perfect place from which to explore Minneapolis. Although breakfast is not included in the room rate, the food- and the coffee -were delicious and it was the best breakfast we had the entire trip.

Room Tip: Get a city view, if possible, because you can enjoy a lovely view of the river and walking path from...

My fiancee and I stayed here for our three year anniversary. Ihad dropped off hings I wanted set up in my room and they did it all. When we walked in thechampagne was on ice and all my candles were lit. They had upgraded us for free due to the specialness of the evening. Room service was great. The bedding was superb, very comfortable. All the staff were extremely kindand helpful. When checkout came, word had traveled fast, the gal told us congratulations on our engagement. It was a fabulous stay!

“Not a great place to stay”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 June 2011

The sleep number bed didn't work - it was like sleeping on mush. The mgmt's solution was to offer us a cot - NOT acceptable when you are spending a lot of money to have a romantic night out. No other accomodation was offered and I felt that was terrible customer service. Additionally, there was a mouse trap under our bed - thankfully empty. And we could hear the music being piped in for the restaurant until 1:30 in the morning. Never going back. It's sad; it's such a beautiful place.

“Location is about all”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 June 2011

We were barely greeted when we checked in: no smile, no introduction, no welcome. The hotel is charming - historic. It's location (on Nicollet Island) is lovely. There are great biking/walking paths all around the island along the river. There are a couple restaurants nearby, but we chose to drive to find more selection. The prices at the Inn's restaurant were more than we wanted to pay. Our room was TINY, overlooking the parking lot. It was clean, and that's the best thing I can say about it. We love the quaint exterior and the flowers in window boxes, but we could have had the exterior view for FREE! This was not worth the money we paid for a room.

We enjoyed our time at the Nicollet Island Inn. The building is charming and the location nice. We particularly enjoyed the excellent service and breakfasts at the Inn. Our room was also nice. We did have difficulty with Internet connectivity.
