Second visit to this property and still well pleased by the suite, the grand breakfast, and the location. Have had a 2 bedroom and a 1 bedroom suite, both have plenty of space, good location of bathroom, and comfortable beds. The breakfast service is without compare, tasty cooked to order eggs - omlet with all the trimmings, over-easy, etc. The waffles are well done with a choice of traditional or blueberry batter. Wide variety of breakfast add-ons: rolls, toast, bagel, juices, cereal and on and on. The overall property was quiet on the weekend I stayed there and the front desk staff helpful on all questions posed to them. The skyway system easy to use. I made it over to Hennepin Avenue for dining and to see professional theater and along Nicollet mall to shop.

Rooms where kind of beat up with poor repairs. Oldest tv's I have since in years. Chair in our room cushion was ripped all down one site. Service was not very good at the breakfast bar, girl cooking at breakfast making omlets was unpleasant at best, althought the breakfast was better than average. Bums on the street at the smoking area were bugging us. I did check the room carefully for bed bugs, and did not have any issues. I would look for other choices next time. I would hope for a property update as the location is great.

As others have noted, the decor in this hotel needs updating, and other aspects are showing their wear (scuff marks on furniture, wallpaper loose in places). Those who can look past this, however, will find a pleasant hotel to stay in.

Formerly an Embassy Suites, this Comfort Suites offers more amenities than most. Cooked-to-order omelets and other hot foods such as potatoes, eggs, and sausage at breakfast; a restaurant and lounge in the hotel with a room service menu; and service such as bringing an extra blanket to the room are conveniences not found at most Comfort Suites.

We paid for our room with Choice Privileges points and were delighted that a two-bedroom suite with one king and double beds "cost" the same amount as a standard two-double suite. Our family of six had plenty of space in which to spread out, including a table for six, sofa and chair, bar stools, and the two bedrooms.

The king bed was very comfortable and there were plenty of pillows, albeit the strange square-shaped ones that seem to be popular at hotels nowadays. The heating system was effective once we called the front desk to learn how to use it (it required using both the thermostat and fan control).

The bathrooms were tiny; one was missing the drain plugs for both the sink and bathtub but had decent water pressure; the other was fully equipped but had little water pressure in the shower.

We walked through the Skyway system to see the Holidazzle parade and the desk clerk gave us a skyway map and tips for the best place to view the parade.

The hotel is built above a parking garage so that the lobby is on the 8th level, but you don't really notice how high up you are. Our rooms had a view of a nearby public green area and we could see the Metrodome. A major hospital is nearby so there was siren noise from ambulances periodically throughout our stay.

Staff at the hotel were friendly and our room was very clean.

This was our second stay at this hotel and we'd return, especially if we can get the big corner room again for our large family.

The rooms are huge, clean, and very nice, and the free breakfast and pool are great. However, the customer service could use some work. We accidentally double paid on parking, but they refused to refund us our money. Will consider other places first next time I return.
