Don't be fooled by what at first glance looks might look like sophistication. Go just below the service and you'll see unsophisticated service and thrown together design. I was lucky enough to have fallen asleep in time to get plenty of sleep before my early morning until the manager woke me up to ask me a trivial question -- couldn't... More

Yes, I have a bias towards hotels with great gyms and the Grand Hotel has the best hotel gym, by a long shot, as well as a 25m lap pool...and more. I arrived about 10pm after a 26 hour journey (Sydney to Minneapolis, via LAX and Chicago). The check-in experience was quick, cheerful and charming - the hotel lobby has... More

I stayed at this hotel with my wife before she deployed to afghanistan. We got in room massages which I wouldn't suggest. We got one of the larger king rooms and they almost didn't have enough room to set up the massage tables. Much easier to walk downstairs to the spa. The room amenities were okay, not sure what it...

My room was nice enough, but my view was that of an office window four feet from my window, complete with office worker staring back. The staff seem distracted and inattentive during my two day stay. Avoid room service - my meals were slow to arrive, were cold when they finally showed up and poorly prepared. The biggest challenge with... More

Have been a Kimpton fan since staying at a resort in Scottsdale, AZ and this was my first chance to try another one of their hotels. Is now my top pick of chains -- only wish they had more locations. Kimpton seems to be buying up really gorgeous landmarks and doing super trendy renos to give them a boutique feel.... More

I stayed here for business for 2 nights the first week of February. The hotel has a trendy lobby and little bar with limited menu but very tasty food and something for every type of eater. The hotel is conveniently located in downtown Minneapolis and the tunnels easily connect you to other parts of downtown. The room is really nice... More

We stayed at the Grand Hotel for the first time and really enjoyed it. I made the reservations online and they sent a menu of possible additions or upgrades for our stay. We requested a luxury suite upgrade for a very reasonable price as well as a 4 pm check out time on Sunday. Our suite was large and the... More

The Grand was a lovely place for a romantic getaway for my husband's birthday. We were impressed with the excellent customer service and liked the decor - a nice blend of dark wood traditional with modern touches that worked together for a classy, cozy and comfortable feel. Some highlights: Comfy bed. Quality linens. Cozy bathrobes. Lovely furnishings. Quiet. Great workout... More

I just stayed at the Grand for a business trip. It was a great stay. The hotel has a nice bar in the lobby, a steak/sushi restaurant, tasty room service, and they provide a lot of things for you (including phone chargers, contact solution, full sized hair dryers, shirt stays - much more than many other hotels) if you forgot...
