The Depot Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel - Minneapolis 44.98043, -93.26372

Not used to paying parking at a hotel, it $15.00/night with in/out privleges. The Breakfast Buffet $15.00 with made to order omlette. I'd expect to pay that or more in Chicago or New York, but not Minneapolis. But maybe that's just me. All in All the facility is top notch.

The bathroom could use a little update--but everything else was great. Very comfy bed, and very clean room, and quite even though there were 3 young children in the next room, you could not hear a sound.

The service was exemplary....courteous, helpful, friendly. From the valets, to the bellhop, servers, desk staff, etc. Beautiful hotel...wonderful ambiance. A wonderful night, for a wonderful price. We would definitely stay there again.

The bed was very comfortable and the room was nice. The service was good other than a slight mistake with my bill upon check out, which was promptly fixed.

We enjoyed al the Milwaukee Railroad memoribilia...my father-in-law worked for the Milwaukee Road for 50 years in the Chicago area..The service, cleanliness, and the modern rooms were first-rate.

I have to say my experience at The Depot is the best one I've had so far with any place that I have stayed. Every employee there made you feel welcomed and they were all in good spirits, and that meant a lot especially since that was a day everyone was converging on the cities due to the Viking/Packer football game that night and they were very busy. I plan on staying at The Depot again in the future and will recommend it to everyone.

The hotel itself was gorgeous when first walking in. However, once we got into our room (after having to walk to the front desk a second time to get a key that actually worked), we walked into a room that had not been clean; it looked as though someone had been in one of the beds, there was garbage in the garbage cans, used soap, and some personal belongings from the previous guests that had not been cleaned up. They did apologize and gave us a new room, but for the price we paid, we shouldn't have had to do that. When we went to eat in the hotel restaurant, we waited 20 minutes for a water because our waitress was too busy flirting with the guys at the bar.

Clean comfortable hotel with interesting history. Nice climate control in room. Comfortable bed. Excellent service.

The Depot was centrally located and well maintained. It offered a variety of activities and was very comfortable.

Beautiful room in an up and coming area. Very comfortable. Only downside, no mini-fridge.

The hotel is fine and the staff very service oriented. It was a great stay. The location isn't great, depending upon where you need to go downtown. It's a 10-15 minute walk to the IDS Bldg and the Warehouse district. Or, about the same over the bridge (over the Mississippi) to the St. Anthony's area. But the area withing 2-3 blocks of the hotel is not very nice.

Found this Hotel to be very well maintained and in a great location for our needs. Room service was fast and dining at the hotel was very good. The price was well worth it. We've found a new home in MPLS. Keep up the great work.

We stayed here for a wedding which took place in the hotel as well. I have no complaints except that it seems that "Non Smoking" means "no one actively smoking in the room while you're there", because the smoke smell hit me in the face when I walked in the room. Otherwise, the room was nice, the staff was courteous, and the bed was incredibly comfy.

I loved the comfort of the bed and the condition of the room. I also was really impressed by the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, which was great because I am not familiar with the area. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

This hotel only had one flaw and that was you need to pay $15 to park for a day. I think that parking should be free. Other than that the stay was great.

The Depot Minneapolis is a charm. It's like staying in a museum with all of the wonderful memorabelia relating back to the Milwaukee Railroad days of yore. White statues throughout the hotel depict scenes of the past...an older couple kissing goodbye (or hello), a serviceman going off to war. Suitcases let you know this train's leaving the station. The rooms were wonderful and spacious. The food delightful. The waterpark is an extra charge, but worth it.

Booking a hotel on-line in a city you have never been to before can be worrying, particularly when, as in my case, it is to be a venue to interview prospective new employees. Well I had no need to worry, the hotel was great, great fun and great quality, the staff were even greater, nothing was too much trouble and at least two of them are keen to visit the UK in the near future and I have promised to make sure they see the best of my country. Even if your stay in Downtown Minneapolis is to be a short one, don't miss out on this gem!

Room was dark and hotel was fairly quiet. I really liked it - the staff was nice! Parking was too expensive I thought tho and there was not ALOT to do close by but its a good price for the hotel....

we really got a great deal on our room here; the hotel was top notch and right in the heart of Minneapolis!

The price I paid for the room was pretty high, but I expected that with it being downtown. The room was rather small, but nice and comfortable. However, I didn't expect everything additional to cost extra, such as parking (ridiculously high), breakfast (no continental, and expensive for a basic meal), and movies (higher pay-per-view movie prices than I've ever seen when travelling). The convenient location was nice, but the cost of all the extras was much more than I expected.

Historic hotel in downtown location. I would return once they have fixed the most serious problem...the noise. The rooms facing the street have single pane windows that do little to block the noise of traffic. Since this street leads to one of the few bridge crossings there is traffic around the clock which make it impossible to sleep through the night. The check out clerk said that they are installing better windows that will improve the situation.

Great hotel, especially if you are attending event at Metrodome.

We had a very nice stay. The hotel is based on a previous life as a Milwaukee Road Railway depot and has historical exhibits and pictures. Yet, the facilitiees are modern and very comfortable. The restaurant features a nice reasonable priced menu, and the bar area is comfortable and charming, with the same menu as the restaurant. Rooms are nicely laid out and, once again, comfortable. The location is within 4 blocks of the Metrodome, if that's important, and it's also near the downtown area.

This hotel stay offered everything. The weekend that we stayed the hotel was also hosting a wedding, however, this was never an inconvenience or disruption to our use of the hotel/services, etc. Also, we were oblivious to the fact that there was a water park in the hotel for the fact that it was so quiet and there was no overwhelming "chlorine smell" that some pools tend to give off. Had we been traveling with kids we would have sought out this amenity, but it was nice to know that we weren't sacrificing quality staying in a hotel that offered one. The hotel was beautiful and the service was outstanding - up to and including the valet offering us directions for the quickest route out of the downtown area during the major sporting event that afternoon. I will visit this hotel again, and plan to recommend it to family/friends as well.

Hotel was beautiful, well kept..close to metrodome and downtown area. Bedding was very nice, mattress very comfortable. Did not like that we still had to pay for parking, thought it should be included in stay since we paid enough for the room.

The hotel itself was ok but due to the water park there were a lot of small children. We wish we would have know that before booking. Our room was located right next to the elevator to the park so it was very loud in the morning with kids in bathing suits running back and forth.

I was on a road trip with my daughter from the west coast, and had a couple of days to myself while she visited friends. The hotel was great for a single person traveling alone---friendly , helpful staff, proximity to hiking trails, restaurants, and the light rail line. In house food was great; truly first-run movies were available in room, as well. I spent a very pleasurable weekend at the Depot and would gladly stay there again, if I am able to visit Minneapolis again.

The prices were too high for a family on a budget and I didn't see that we would have to pay for parking at the motel-but this was a getaway for us-so we didn't care-so my tips are -to make it clear that parking was 14.00 and maybe a sample menu prices-so you could research nearby places to eat
