We stayed here for a wedding and the price was decent but it was a pre-arranged group rate. The lobby is nice and the drive way also. Front desk service was good. The rooms, however, left a lot to be desired. The rooms are so old and a bit strange in design. We stayed in a suite with 2 rooms... More

Thank you for your feedback and observations. We will be going through a renovation that does address the comments you noted. We have made good progress in the short term to address some of these outstanding issues. Now that the Light Rail construction has completed most of the groundwork, we are now left with the decking and surround plantings to... More

I stayed at this hotel for a three day business meeting. The staff is very pleasant, rooms are large and comfortable. The Select Comfort beds are fair. Several coworkers stayed in other rooms and we all had the same problem... unable to regulate the room temperature, it was either too hot or too cool. The hotel gift shop has a... More

Thank you for reponding to Trip Advisor. The gift shop is looking to expand their beer offerings, perhaps picking up 2 to 3 more selections.

I stayed here for one night in January 2011. It was a quick and inexpensive ride from the Amtrak station, totally only around $10 cab fare. My check-in was swift, and the lobby is very comfortable. It felt a little bit dated, but was kept up nicely. My room was comfortable, but looked a bit dated, too. It was very... More

Had to spend a few nights here.

Hotel was busy that weekend due to college football game, and every need that I had was met with... More

I stayed here during a week long training course I was taking at the University of Minnesota. There were a few things I really didn't like about my room; First, you could hear too much of what was going on in the room next door. I'm not talking about yelling and shouting, I'm talking about regular conversations at a regular... More

Thank you for taking the time to respond to Trip Advisor. We are planning to renovate during the first quarter of 2012. The light rail construction has added our paved driveway back to our hotel, thus enabling easier entry and exit. Once this major metoplex project is complete, it will add an additional amenity to our hotel. More

I spent the weekend of my wedding here. I got married on Saturday October 1, 2011. I booked our room block almost 1 year in advance.

I'm hoping the problems here are due to a change in management and will improve. I am a frequent business traveller and while I do appreciate the finer ammenities; I am just as comfortable staying in an older clean hotel with helpful service. For a former Raddisson, I truthfully had much higher expectations. Instead, the service at this hotel is... More

I stay here for one night (actually, with about 15 hours) because of a meeting in UMN. Similar to other Radisson properties in US universities, it provides you an easy access to the campus. The hotel room, especially the bathroom, is very nice. The staff here is also very friendly. More
