Hotels near Upper St. Anthony Lock and Dam, Minneapolis

Absolutely wonderful. I am super picky and my friends all stayed at other hotels in for a wedding. I was last minute and didn’t like what I had seen in the other hotels my friends were at so I walked down to check out this one and I was so happy I did! Love love love it. Clean and cozy and felt like an adults on the interior furnishings. Other hotels have cheap furniture and feel like dorm rooms. I was really have with this choice all the way around!!! I will definitely be back and can’t wait for their new spa to open!! Staff was great too and hotel was decorated lovely for Christmas! Great price also!

Very spacious and modern rooms, very cool design of public areas and rooms! Unfortunately, we had some difficulties communication with the hotel twice. First, we wanted to learn more about parking and hotel put us on 10 minutes hold and after that they did not pick up the call for more than an hour! Maybe they are busy, but still leaves an impression. Secondly, we called at the reception to ask about the places open for a beer or wine and they simply hang up on us twice. Moreover, there was something with the lock- we could not leave the room without asking for help outside. I’m glad we were not in the rush in the morning. Not sure why is that so haha! Generally great area in the city center and pretty design!

On the morning of May 8, 2025, when I checked out of the Hampton Inn in downtown Minneapolis, I encountered an extremely disrespectful front desk employee. I politely asked if I could store my luggage, but the employee not only rolled his eyes and showed disdain, but also directly refused and laughed at me when I left. But I later saw him helping other guests store their luggage. As an international business traveler, this was my seventh visit to the United States and my third visit to Minnesota, and it was also the first time I personally experienced such open hostility. After I formally complained, the hotel management responded to acknowledge the problem and record it in the employee file, and said that they would improve training and internal supervision. The hotel also promised to give me Hilton Honors points as compensation, but as of now, I have not received the points. Although the room fee cannot be refunded and I did not ask for a refund, I hope that this matter will be taken seriously to prevent other guests from being treated similarly. I have always trusted the Hilton brand and hope that this store can truly live up to their promise of ”inclusion and respect”.

First off, I was charged an extra “historic building” fee when I checked in. When I questioned it, I was told it was because I didn’t use their website to book. The room was ok, no hairdryer. There was an almost constant loud him coming from the bathroom wall. Nice view of the river but awakened at 4 am by people yelling and fighting somewhere. Restaurant only serves breakfast on weekends and we were unable to find any open places for breakfast within walking distance. Wasn’t a terrible stay but I wouldn’t go back.

There is a supermarket near the hotel, Trader Joe's, which is very convenient to buy food. There is a subway station nearby, you can take the subway directly from the airport to the hotel, and the traffic is very convenient. The staff is very friendly, the check-in is very smooth, the bed is soft and hard, it is very comfortable and quiet to sleep on.

Stylish stay in the heart of Minneapolis. Excellent location and beautiful rooms equipped with a Nespresso machine. Don’t miss the top-floor perks: the Prohibition bar on the 27th floor and the stunning observation deck on the 30th. The brunch at Manny’s Steakhouse is also a must. Highly recommended!

My room wasn’t cleaned after my first night of a two night stay. I had a note on the bed requesting an additional blanket so I never got that and the trash wasn’t emptied. I also didn’t like that there were not ice machines, I had to go to the bar to request a bucket of ice. On the positive said the lady at the check-in desk was super nice and helpful.

The hotel is close to the Target Center (10 minutes by foot - good option for a Timberwolves game). The room is Spacious.., with a comfortable king bed and a good shower as well. The breakfast is fair…, American standard..! I’d stay again..!!

The hotel is ideally located right in the city center, felt very safe, and offers on-site parking. The rooms were good, and the facilities are excellent. Highly recommended.

The location is good, just beside the Mingda Stadium, it is very convenient to go to the graduation ceremony. The room is quite satisfactory, the facilities are old, there is hot water and coffee in the corridor, and breakfast is OK. The door is a Chinese restaurant and hot pot restaurant, which does not hurt my Chinese stomach.
