This is our Budget pick in Minneapolis. It works for visitors to the university, longer stays and anyone who values room space: guests describe the rooms as large, quiet and consistently clean.
A gym, a pool and a restaurant are on the facility list, along with free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Guests mention supermarkets nearby, which helps if you like to buy your own food. The listing tags mention pets, but the policy is not described, so check it.
Skip it if a generous breakfast is part of the deal for you. Some guests found the options limited and the dining room crowded.
Location and getting around
The address is 2808 University Ave SE, Minneapolis. The location score is 8.7 out of 10. Guests like being close to the university, supermarkets and public transport links, including the light rail.
The I-35W Mississippi River bridge is about 2.3 km away, roughly 29 minutes on foot. Saint Anthony Falls is about 3.5 km (around 44 minutes) and the Walker Art Center about 5.6 km (around 70 minutes). Those last two are far, so plan on public transport or a taxi.
Walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified. Parking is not listed among the facilities, so ask the hotel if you are driving.
What guests say
Guests rate it 8.5 out of 10 from 358 reviews, joint eighth of the 12 eligible properties in the sample. That is a fair score, not a leading one.
The rooms are the main strength: large, quiet and clean. The location near the university and transport is the other point guests like.
Breakfast divides opinion. Some find a good variety, while others report limited options and a crowded dining room. Listed styles are continental and buffet.
