Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

As other reviewers have said, this really isn't a tourist spot but a place to conduct government business. That being said, if you happen to be in downtown Minneapolis during spring/summer, the plaza with its fountain facing city hall is a nice spot to sit out on and has lunch hour concerts. The public service level on the skyway also has a nice atrium with benches and a coffee shop if you need a place to take a break while touring downtown.

Most of the the government services are centrally located around the plaza. A good place to have lunch in summer.

Great place to get what you need done. Friendly people once you get past the security system and metal detectors. Large spaces, one-stop shop. Beautiful building.

The government center itself is beautiful and easy to navigate. But to pay $35 for a three-hour spot is ridiculous.

Does everybody at HCGC work in a closet? It would sure seem so from the outside looking in. There also seems to have been a lot of thought in making this a monument to Hennepin and the city council at the time and little to what the people of Minneapolis needed.

The folks working there were less than helpful. I dread doing anything in Hennepin county. Every other county I work in is far more accomodating and user friendly.

Lots of available surrounding parking, good safe clean environment (security are on top of things and respond quickly during a situation).

If you go through security in the C tower and go to the law library on the 24th floor you get a great view of the Vikings stadium and surrounding area.

I met a friend here. It is conveniently located if you have business to conduct. Nothing too special architecturally, although the public space on the 2nd level is spacious and pleasant.

blech building. if you have to go, leave early to park in ramp and walk a ways to this. Security personnel are awesome but building is dull and dark and hideous, as our most of the people working there.
