“Nice Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

We have stayed at this hotel a few times. It's location is great for anyone doing business in the Metro area. We have stayed here to attend an event at the Convention Center. It is only a few minute to the Convention Center.
The rooms are very clean. Beds are confortable. One thing i noticed that the room did not have a microwave or refrigerator in the room. I am use to having both. The Normandy Kitchen, their Restraurant has great food and there is a bar. Very friendly staff in the restaurant and bar.
We did hear sirens throught out the night while sleeping. But I think you have that any time you stay in the Metro area. We enjoyed our stay.

Room Tip: We stayed on the 4th floor next to a side street of the hotel. This may have contributed to the sire...

“Always a pleasant stay!”

We have stayed here at least one night every year for the past 4 years. We enjoy the cookies at 10pm. The accommodating staff (front desk, housekeeping and maintenance always is willing to assist us when needed. While poolside, we regularly have had management come by and check in with us regarding our service and stay.

We like the poolside rooms and find they are not too noisy even when the pool is open and we are in our room with the door closed. Their night staff is patient and accommodating as well (especially on special occasions).

“awesome!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We love this wonderful gem located in downtown Minneapolis! It has a distinct personality and doesn't fall into the cookie cutter class of most other hotels. The staff is friendly and the rooms are clean and comfy. The Normandy Kitchen has wonderful food and the happy hour is a great benifit. Our room faced the pool and spa area and we were able to open the sliding glass door and feel as if we were transported to a warmer climate. If you are looking for a place to stay that will be memorable then I think you can't go wrong by choosing the Normandy!

Room Tip: pool view is enjoyable

“Great location, clean, poor front desk service.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011 via mobile

The hotel is in a good location downtown. It was a five dollar cab ride from nightlife. The front desk guy was rude and pretty sure not liking his job. The bartender could only do one thing at a time, literally. Also complained about the owners....it was strange. Overall, we would stay again but would know to expect mediocre customer service at best.

“Great place at a great price!”

My wife and I were a little apprehensive when booking this hotel in downtown Minneapolis, but boy were we pleasantly surprised! Very friendly and helpful staff, quiet, large, nicely appointed room and a very good price. Check in was a breeze. The king size bed was very comfortable, spacious and clean. We were in town to see our son who is attending the UofM, an easy drive just up the Interstate. We also had breakfast at the restaurant which I will review separately (we were pleased).

Room Tip: Close to Nicollet Outdoor Mall
