I was quite disappointed by the dismal darkness in the room. I thought the window (one) would be overlooking the city as the website promised but all I could look out to was an enclosed balcony with no access. The lights had to be turned on throughout the day..another negative for me since I adore natural lighting. The air conditioning... More

I'm a Kimpton fan generally but a huge fan of this Kimpton in particular. This was my third stay at the Grand, and I can't imagine staying anywhere else when I visit the Twin Cities. It's cozy and intimate without being too small, the rooms are modern but won't offend those with classic tastes, and the location is great whether... More

My wife and I spent a weekend in Minneapolis and stayed at the Grand Hotel upon advice of a colleague of mine. We found the hotel to be perfectly located in the center of downtown (Tip - use the Skyways to walk everywhere downtown!). Rooms were spacious and well appointed, staff was friendly and helpful. We traveled with a baby... More

I will say this is not the same hotel I remember from 10 years ago. Looked as if there are new owners perhaps. Still a nice hotel and enjoyed my stay. Room was much different than I recall but the bathroom was still spectacular. Great water pressure in the showers, which is one of my pet peeves when it is... More

My daughter and I were visiting colleges in the area and I booked this room because it was a Kimpton property. On the plus side: The room was large and clean. The beds were very comfortable! The staff was friendly and polite. However, I was disappointed with the quality of the accommodations. Starting with the valet parking situation - it... More

Can't say enough good about this place. Its small enough to feel homey and special, but large enough to have everything I need. Friendly staff, commentary wine/salmon, spotless room and good value for luxury accommodations with high quality sheets/towels. Loved taking a hot bath while watching a TV built in the wall in front of me. Plenty of shelves, drawers,... More

My daughter and I were in Minneapolis attending a dance convention. The location is great and the staff is outstanding. They were very helpful in giving us suggestions on what to do in the city during our free time. Free coffee and newspapers are always a bonus for me. Thanks for a fantastic week end

Just stayed here recently. Overall, a good experience. The cons: Parking. You can valet for $30 but beware, the hard to find valet shack is on the perpendicular street and traffic can be tricky. We drove around for quite some time and then just parked ourselves in the Northstar ramp on 7th street. That is $20 a day (but $13... More

Had the occasion to spend a weekend in Minneapolis and chose the Grand in downtown. Not only was it quite reasonable, but the room was warm, comfortable, and clean; the staff were more than helpful and gracious; they were highly informed and knowledgeable about eateries, etc., etc. Excellent amenities such as wine hour and snacks in the late afternoon, free...
