The room was small, but very comfortable and perfect for my husband and i on our visit to see his childhood friend that lives in the area. Owners were very friendly and even gave us plastic silverware when our DoorDash forgot to send it. Very nice coffeehouse within walking distance as well.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Rooms are nothing like what’s advertised. Ordered a king and was put in a full with dirty sheets. Smell of must annd old smoke and felt damp and humid. Owner refused to let us cancel after going in and checking out the room and pulling back the sheets. Accused of “using the room” for ten mins and since we stepped in he wouldn’t allow us to cancel.

Would recommend to a friend

Never been to Minnesota before but stayed here so I could take the train to the mall or America and the twins game. It was clean, safe, close to the train stations, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely staying here if I end up back in the twin cities!
