Maybe uncooked it was. , but still delicious.i also had mushrooms and hash browns,again were delicious. Everyone at our table loved the food. I ordered creme bulee for my birthday and that was so good. The casino gave me a small piece of cake and that was good. I can't say enough about food, it all was good plus I won on penny machines after dinner! Service was excellent.It is a little pricey but if you are saving ,order one order and split..portions are big

I recently hosted my board retreat at Mystic and it was such a great time!…read more Leading up to the retreat the staff was super helpful and had everything setup upon arrival of about 25 people. We stayed for 2 nights, used on if their board rooms and had a dinner at the steakhouse. The rooms were spacious with nice views. We were thoroughly impressed with the steakhouse dinner. With a large group of 20 people the service can be unpredictable but our service was amazing! We order countless appetizers, bottles of wine, drinks and desserts. I got a steak and the sweet potato. Let me say that it was the largest sweet potato that I've ever seen! Our $2k bill was well worth it!!

Food options felt a bit limited, and I'm not much of a gambler, so the sheer amount of gambling options felt overwhelming to me. We made it through about 4 races before wanting to go. We had a fine time, and I'm glad I now know what horse racing is like.

However, if you aren't much of a gambler, it can get pretty boring after just a few races. There are a few restaurants on site as well as many bar options but the drinks are relatively pricey! It's also a great spot to host a work or team building event!

Standard king room. Really nice to be able to walk straight into the mall. The hotel and rooms felt…read moreupscale and clean throughout. Comfortable room layout, good desk space. There was a large chair for lounging that looked comfortable, but was not. Old, hard, painful sitting more than a few minutes. Was able to connect to the TV using the HDMI2 plug on the box behind the TV. Good bathroom counter space to spread out. Water pressure was a bit puny. Small fridge that worked well. Lots of plugs spread throughout the room. Would be our choice for any future mall visits.

Extremely professional and friendly staff. The hotel had several speedy elevators so there were no traffic jams coming or going to your room. Hotel and room were well kept, cleaned, and updated. Room was comfortable and quiet. I loved the shower and bathroom in general!

Bathrooms were clean, the beds were firm but had a decent softness to it and the rooms had ample space to move about even if occupied by 4. The bathroom is also spacious and has great lighting. The pool area is okay, but could honestly use some upgrades with all of the other renovations happening with the casino upgrading the pool, sauna, spa and bathroom for that area makes sense. Parking isn't bad once you figure it out but if you're following the signs you're going to be stuck in the casino crowd fighting everyone else for parking. Initially they wrote down the wrong room number on the keycard holder so when we tried to open the door it looked like it didn't work, so we had to go back to the front desk only to find out that's what happened. A hassle for us but definitely more annoying for the poor soul that was in their right room just trying to take a shower.

We just returned from a 3 night stay at the hotel/casino for our company conference. We arrived…read morelater in the day on Monday. The customer service at check in was lackluster, but I gave the employee a bit of a hard time and he cracked a smile, telling me it was his Friday-- all good! The room was nice. Double queen, a single chair, plug ins for all different charger types in several spots throughout the room, Keurig coffee maker and a mini fridge in room. My two slight "complaints"-- the A/C blew straight out into nothingness (I don't understand why they don't direct them INTO the main space of the room, at the beds) and the shower water didn't get very hot (maybe most people don't like to turn red when they shower?‍) neither of which were earth shattering or made my time any worse. Oh, and the pillows-- weirdly airy, hard to get comfortable on, but better than flat lumpy pillows! Can't make everyone happy The casino itself was very nice, all non smoking which I appreciate so much! A lot of slot options, table games (can't talk much in those as I don't play), self serve beverage stations located all over. There IS a smoking room in the middle area of the casino for those who don't want to go outside. There are also several food options. Caribou Coffee was my stop each morning (Mint Condition!). There was an ice cream and dessert place called Sweet Temptations (didn't get a chance to try it), a cafe as well as some sit down restaurants and more fast food type offerings around the back. Also looked like there is a sports bar getting ready to open. The hotel also provides shuttle service to and from several places in the area throughout the day such as Mall of America. That was a nice option for my husband who joined me but was not part of the conference. As for our event, I can only assume that the buffets and food that we had were catered by the property... most of it was pretty unimpressive and flavorless. I don't want to dwell on that too much, though, for this review. Overall, if I am ever back in that area, I would visit again.

My friend had to park across at the mystic side and walk over. When we walked in almost all the machines had someone sitting them plus people gathered around them. It was very overwhelming. We did a lap and ended up just going over to mystic. Glad it's smoking outside only now. That's a positive, I guess. Overall as a non gambler I probably wouldn't go back.

Our room was freshly updated, spotless, and we were lucky to check in early thanks to accommodating staff. The onsite restaurant/bar and easy access to mall dining make meals convenient, and the airport shuttle is a great perk. The layout of the hallways can be a little disorienting, and I wish microwaves were available in the rooms -- especially for a quick weekend of leftovers and convenience. Overall, a comfortable and well-located stay!

That being said our room was about a mile away from the elevator which was horrible after walking 10 miles in the mall. The room was also kindof gross. Stained carpets, stains on the bed skirts, hairs between the sheets. The bed linens were also horribly uncomfortable. Like a fine-dining napkin- that's the exact texture of the sheets. The staff was very, very kind. No one on their phones, the picture of professional. Very classy people working here.

Not worth the hype…read more Was genuinely excited to stay at the W Minneapolis from Dec 19-22, but unfortunately the experience ended up feeling underwhelming, and stressful. Cost. The W is expensive, which shouldn't surprise anyone. Nightly rates hover around $200+ per night. Valet parking is $60 per night; objectively overpriced, though undeniably convenient. Additional fees: Pet owners, expect a $100 flat fee plus $25 per night, which adds up quickly. Where things start to fall apart is navigation and access to information. The hotel is surprisingly confusing to get around, and there's virtually no wayfinding or signage. In fully embracing the digital-only approach, the hotel has eliminated all traditional paper materials. No map. No room book. No quick-reference guide. Everything lives digitally. That sounds modern--until you need basic information like restaurant hours. eg). I attempted to visit the bar on floor 27 at around 330 pm. (It doesn't open until 5pm) However none of this is clearly displayed, and SUPER difficult to find without messaging the front desk and the Marriott app was hit-or-miss at best during my stay. The digital key never worked once, and even the room phone didn't function. That wouldn't be a huge issue if the app worked reliably--but it didn't. I did message the front desk through the app to request a USB-C charging cable and was told none were available. In 2025. At a W. That felt less like sleek minimalism and more like missed fundamentals. Food/ Room Service: Absolutely excellent. Manny's Steakhouse and the Prohibition Bar are both fantastic and independently operated in partnership with the hotel. See Manny's Steakhouse for a full review, it alone was a highlight of the stay. The room itself was very spacious, but it's important to remember this is an old building, and it shows. I struggled to maintain a consistent water temperature the entire stay. The room layout was also frustrating: the TV is mounted far from the bed, on a wall shared with neighboring rooms. Turning up the volume even slightly resulted in a noise complaint from next door. Yep, that actually happened. Overall, the W Minneapolis has style, history, and good food...but the experience feels more focused on image than guest usability. With better wayfinding, reliable tech, and basic in-room information, this could be a great stay. As it stands, it didn't live up to the hype
