Minneapolis - St. Paul Murphy Square Hotels

"Room temp was stuck at 75 the whole time we were there, nothing we did ever dropped it below. Both us staying slept with no covers in our underwear it was so hot."

"Overall, the Hilton Garden Inn Minneapolis University Area gets the job done. The location is excellent—close to the University—and the hotel itself is average: nothing fancy, but comfortable enough for a few nights. The staff, however, is outstanding. During our last stay, we had a rough experience that was ultimately resolved well. On the first night, the hotel was about 80% booked with a teenage dance competition group. The young guests made noise all night—running up and down the hallways, moving in large groups, yelling and laughing—making it nearly impossible to sleep, even with earplugs. We spoke with management several times. David, the manager, did everything he could to handle the situation, but the group was very difficult to control. Once the dance competition group left, the hotel returned to its usual calm. Our second night was a huge improvement, and the overall experience was much more comfortable."

"The hotel was very clean and staff was pleasant. "

"Clean room, staff was friendly, lovely hotel."

"very nice and clean"

"Near Target Center AND Pizza Lucé! Excellent stay!"

"Very friendly staff and very clean conditions! I never had a chance to check out any of the amenities. But the ones I passed by, seemed very clean and well organized. It did seem to have plenty to do in the surrounding area. Again, I never had a lot of opportunity to check it out. Came late afternoon for a concert and left mid morning. Had a great stay!"

"Amazing love this hotel "

"The room was impeccable, the location and access to the Skywalk was fantastic. That said, I did have an issue when I stopped by the front desk to have them validate my parking pass for come-and-go privileges, there were two employees standing at the front desk, each behind a computer. One was helping a couple check in and the other, Tommy, was standing there at attention, seemingly available to help, no signs or anything that he was unavailble. As I walked up he saw me and said “Come on, Bro…really?” Confused and thinking he was kidding or joking around, I handed him my parking ticket, and asked if he could validate it (a process another in my party did the prior day with ease, just told them his room number and they scanned the ticket.) Tommy begrudgingly took my ticket and mumbled to himself. At this point I realized he wasn’t joking, and somehow my request had annoyed him. I told him I could simply wait for the couple checking in next to me to finish and I could have his coworker help me if he needed be somewhere else, but he just replied “No point, I’ve already started”. He asked my room number, scanned the ticket, and I was on my way, it was as simple as could be, but was an odd interaction to say the least."
