Top Downtown East Hotel Reviews

Cambria Hotel Minneapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing experience so clean"

Radisson RED Minneapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Great staff. Rooms are so quite thought we were the only ones there. Only issue was if you use there handcap spot, its kinda tricky for passenger unloading, and a worker seems have the space for ramps to come out as there parking spot. But hey we made it work. Life goes on. Great hotel. And the food was good also."

Holiday Inn : Bloomington W MSP Airport Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Angela at the front desk was incredibly helpful when my dad thought he may have left his pill box behind. All of the front desk agents were really helpful and kind, but Angela went above and beyond. I didn't get her name, but the woman who helped us on Sunday morning was also extremely kind and helpful. I'd definitely stay at this hotel again, if breakfast was included. The other Holiday Inn nearby included breakfast with the stay which was really helpful. If breakfast doesn't matter to you, though, pick this one instead- the staff really was awesome all-around!"
