The
good:
-
Hotel
lobby
is
lovely,
they
did
a
beautiful
job
designing
a
space
that
feels
contemporary
while
maintaining
the
historical
architecture
of
the
building.
They
even
kept
the
original
bank
vault
and
incorporated
it
into
the
design,
an
unexpected
surprise
while
waiting
in
line
for
coffee.
-
Spyhouse
Coffee
is
located
centrally
off
of
the
lobby,
they
have
some
of
the
best
coffee
in
the
metro
and
the
staff
is
always
kind,
the
food
is
excellent
and
the
service
is
impeccable.
-
The
hotel
location
is
in
a
great
spot
for
easy
access
to
main
event
venues
and
other
downtown
landmarks.
The
not
so
good:
-
With
the
exception
of
one
lovely
woman
at
the
front
desk,
we
found
all
of
the
staff
at
the
hotel
to
be
surly,
rude,
unhelpful
and
misinformed.
We
had
encounters
with
four
staff
in
total
and
three
of
them
shared
the
qualities
noted,
really
sets
a
terrible
tone
for
the
guests
and
prompted
a
conversation
between
us
on
if
we
would
ever
come
back.
-
Another
note
on
the
staff,
perhaps
it
is
a
top
down
issue
as
we
had
an
interaction
with
a
manager
who
was
hosting
a
beer
tasting.
After
asking
what
brought
us
to
the
hotel
(an
evening
away
from
the
kids
and
a
comedy
show),
he
suggested
that
we
should
instead
"send
our
kids
away
and
stay
at
home"
and
that
he
thought
the
comedy
show
headline
we
were
seeing
"sucked"
and
that
we
should
"heckle
them
the
entire
time".
Again,
setting
a
really
terrible
tone,
especially
when
this
interaction
occurred
in
the
first
five
minutes
of
our
arrival.
-
The
rooms
are
dark,
quite
frankly
the
entire
hotel
is
dark.
But
both
my
husband
and
I
commented
on
how
dark
the
room
was,
even
when
we
had
all
of
the
lights
on.
-
The
layout
in
the
room
we
had,
placed
the
television
directly
on
one
side
of
the
bed.
It
was
mounted
on
an
arm
that
allowed
you
to
pivot
it,
but
ultimately
the
screen
was
only
a
few
feet
from
your
face.
-
The
staff
at
the
bar
had
a
similar
attitude
to
the
front
desk
staff.
The
treated
the
few
patrons
at
the
bar
with
indifference
and
despite
there
being
only
a
few
people,
the
service
was
incredibly
slow.
-
We
ordered
a
simple
pizza
to
share
while
having
a
drink
and
it
was
forgettable
(at
best).
The
bottom
was
blackened/burned
and
it
was
very
clear
that
the
wood
oven
was
overdue
for
a
cleaning.
It
was
also
covered
in
cornmeal,
again
an
indication
that
a
cleaning
is
in
order.
There
are
lots
of
choices
for
upscale
hotels
in
Minneapolis,
this
is
a
tight
market
and
first
impressions
are
incredibly
important.
Unfortunately
for
us,
this
impression
wasn't
a
good
one.
