Mark, Oct 2017
Pros (+) Definitely a nice Holiday Inn. Fairly new so everything was in working order. Our room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly, check-in and check-out were easy. The hotel is very close to a ton of restaurants and shops, and was about a half hour from Minneapolis.
Cons (-) For the money we were shelling out (over $150/night) the services in the hotel were limited. You would expect at least a continental breakfast to be available, but all they had was some coffee and water in the lobby. There is a restaurant and bar next door. Also, there was no microwave in our room, that would have been nice to have.
