Everyone was so helpful and kind at the hotel. Room was clean and housekeeping was very nice. Very Minnesota decorations in the rooms. Parking was tricky but I feel like it would be everywhere around there. Tons of places to eat in the area and 3 coffee shops right out the door. We had breakfast at the Beacon Public House in the hotel and it was delicious. Overall a great place to stay and right on campus which is great for parents visiting their kids!

Loni Anderson vibes
Check in was a little rough. Despite it being 5:45pm, no one was at the counter. Then, there was in issue linking my reservation to the room, which took check in a long time. Our friends staying here were given the wrong room type but were comped free breakfast. The gentleman at check in was very apologetic and kind. The decor here is fun. I have Loni Anderson leering over me while sleep. My son and his friend enjoyed the gaming tables and the adults enjoyed the space to sit and have a drink. Will come back if my son picks U of MN.

I live in Fargo, ND and frequent the Minneapolis area. This has been one of my favorite places to stay. The price is good, there’s a lot to do and see and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Thank you for making our stay a good one. It’s a plus that Starbucks is right in the building :)

The Graduate is our go-to when we are down by the U of M for whatever reason. They never disappoint. Although, I need a change for a hundred and the front desk couldn't give me change which is a huge bummer.

We really enjoy this hotel and have stayed there before, however I: I did not receive any VIP benefits I was supposed to and very disturbed to see a $10 “destination fee” added for each night we stayed. We were paid for this room at booking and were never informed of this. When I called the desk clerk said that Hilton adds this to every booking and that it may not be visible when booking is done through Expedia. This is very troubling. The clerk said that this $10 fee includes certain hotel credits that we were never informed of…nor did I hear any other guests being told of this when they were checking in. Adding fees without being told is a disturbing practice. Those booking at Hilton properties through Expedia should review their bills.
