    Renaissance Hotel
    Arren S.

    My family and I traveled to Minneapolis so that our daughter could perform at the local highschool. We decided to stay at the Renaissance Minneapolis Bloomington Hotel. Upon arrival the hotel has an amazing front awning. Making reservations online made everything easy to check in and the service was wonderful. The front desk has all of these hiking decorations that bring smiles to our faces because my wife and I are both hikers who love to travel to different trails and check out Minnesotas amazing areas. As you walk to the elevators you immediately see a library where all the covers were torn off the books. The trend for this library is "don't judge a book by it's cover." How cool is that? The Amentie's of this fine hotel comes with a pool, a hot tub, and a gym with great equipment. There also is a bar and an elegant dining room to enjoy your continental breakfast. When we arrived to our room it was a tight squeeze with our dolly cart with all of our baggage but we were able to get in without a hitch. The room is elegant with modern art on the walls, the beds were pressed with clean and fresh linens, a desk sat in the corner so I can attend important school work with my laptop, and a mini fridge below where the tv sits. Not only did I get to see my beautiful daughter dance, but I got to enjoy some amazing family time. If we come back to the cities for an overnight trip we will definitely be coming back to the Renaissance. #schroyerfamilydaily #hotel

    I like staying here. Staff is very nice and accommodating. Rooms are clean and if you need anything the staff is happy to help. Rooms are clean- lots of counter space in bathroom. Bunch of towels. Beds sleep well and various pillow choices. There's a single row of parking outside the front with a few handicap spaces. Elevators are fast. Club level has breakfast and a dinner/snack each evening. Some parking can feel far on each side and a bunch of steps- I'm not sure how to describe it. I tend not to park down there as I overpack and I don't want to carry my bags up the steps. There's a pool and hot tub- I haven't used those. WiFi is good- it's my go to spot when traveling to the twin cities.

    My Daughters and I came to Bloomington/ Minneapolis for a vacation. I chose this hotel because I seen all the great reviews. Booooyyyyyy, Was I Mistaken for staying here. Our room was beyond trashed. The Hampton Inn across the parking lot looks luxurious compared to this hotel. Our room (105) was Dirty and Dusty! Broken TV, broken window shade, bugs (we found a small worm in our bathroom and a spider by the desk). All This Happened The First Night! Horrible start. I spent $1200 for 4 nights here. So, not worth it. The only great thing about this Hotel is the STAFF. Very friendly, other than that. Look elsewhere! Ugh. We have another 3 days and I'm nervous about what else is going to happen.

    I really enjoyed my stay at the Renaissance Hotel in Bloomington, MN. Parking was free, it wasn't crowded, and the pool area wasn't filled with loud and obnoxious kids. The room was very clean, and the 4th floor was quiet. The fitness center was a neat design, next to the pool. The TV screens either weren't working or had a malfunction on one of the treadmills. Food was good at their restaurant and at the concierge lounge when it was available. Housekeeping did an amazing job during my time there and this was greatly appreciated.

    Pros: clean, new, sizable and comfortable. Great little convenience store and plenty of pods and sociable areas to sit. Checkout is 12 (great!) and was easy to push that back even further. High value for money Con: don't get a room by an exit. It's a busy hotel so heavy foot traffic at exits and the doors aren't insulated enough to mitigate the noise. It kept me up all night. Everything else was great.

    Spacious closet area as well- included ironing board / iron too

    This is going to be my new favorite place when traveling into town! A really great ambiance in their lobby with spacious seating areas to ensure you can work and enjoy yourself during your visit. The rooms are separated into two "towers" and I have no complaints about my experience! Spacious room with great Aveda amenities - can't wait to come again!

    Lounge area.

    Great reception staff - very helpful. Clean rooms. Kind of disappointed that the club lounge was closed, our keys never worked to enter the gym facility and that the bar wasn't open during the weekend.

    Very nice hotel located close to the Mall of America and other attractions in the MSP area. We ended up here thanks to a killer deal from Priceline. I would not have chosen this hotel, if I had known their pool and hot tub was closed for remodel.. but, the staff did make it up to us by giving us free internet for the two nights we spent here. Hotel is very clean and the rooms had all the modern upgrades and felt very nice. Staff were super friendly and helpful. As a bonus the toiletries (shampoo, soap and lotions) were quality products! Highly recommend this place, but if the pool and hot tub is a deal breaker, I would recommend calling ahead to make sure it is open.

    We stayed at the Sheridan Cottage. It's a rundown old shack in a good neighborhood. Do you wonder…read morewhy there aren't any reviews on their website? I got stuck on the captcha and it won't post my review there. I booked through Minnestay. They do have good customer service, and I had to contact them a lot. The house is in a flight path very close to Lake Harriet in a lovely neighborhood. But: The bathroom doors don't shut, so there is no privacy. They use farmer doors on rollers that fall off the rollers. There are no handles on the farmer doors. The dishes were disgustingly dirty and put away in the cupboard. The bed frame broke when I sat on it and got progressively worse during our stay. Wallpaper and paint are peeling off the walls. Floors are worn and ugly. Upstairs bath toilet kept running. Downstairs bathroom toilet worked intermittently. The floors are dangerously sloped and warped upstairs. The middle bedroom got NO air so it was horribly hot while trying to sleep. While it was freezing downstairs, it was hot upstairs. The closets are creepy. There is no door to the basement (also creepy). Upstairs bathroom towel rack is falling down. The people who stayed here before us apparently smoked something and left the butts on the windowsill in the sitting room. The listing says there is a lake view, which is total BS. It's in a great neighborhood, but is seriously in disrepair and uncared for. We hated our stay here and what a waste of money!!

    I would never stay with this place again. The manager of the property is downright rude. Do…read moreyourself a favor and find any other place to stay in Minneapolis but with this business!

As I checked in the wife bad mouthed the new hotel that shares their parking lot. I was just inquiring because their phones weren't working and I tried booking with them prior. Had no idea she would go on and on improperly dissing on them. Saying their staff is aweful, etc. I'm sure she was speaking about her own staff. I had a do not disturb sign on my door. The maid entered anyway, rummaged thru my personals, helped herself to what she wanted, cleaned some, opened the curtains wide open and left all my lights on exposing my room to the street all day/night. I returned to my room after 9:30pm - the sign was still hanging on my door. I travel with a pillow since I recently had surgery on my legs. She took my $80 pillow, my iPad, a jar of pickles, $40 I had on the counter, and 2 pks of gum. Both owners could care less and wouldn't help me. I should have filed a police report. Both owners take no ownership of the failing business they have, but brag they've owned it 19 years Stop do not pass Go! A shady old hotel that should be knocked down. Don't be bothered here even if their price seems good - they will steal from you because they feel entitled. They allow smoking in the building that suffocates you in your room. They made the stupidest excuse saying the fan sucks the cigarette smoke from the outside of the building and brings it into the rooms. Insanity! Being in the hospitality business you would expect a helpful attitude. Instead they are opposite. It appears this family thinks they are still in India. And have no understanding of what's expected in America. The owner told me that I'm old and am not remembering correctly about my personals - not addressing they have a thief on their staff and they entered a room with a Do Not Disturb sign on my door. And then he accused me of pooping my bed. Pooping my bed! And he has pictures! But wouldn't send them to me. Very unprofessional! Maybe his wife made him change a poopy diaper before he spoke to me. When I arrived home I noticed I left my rug behind. Of course they denied it was there. It was a plush rug that felt much better on my feet than that dingy old crap carpet they had in the room! This was the worst experience I've ever had in a hotel and regret the con job of convincing me to stay! The feeling of someone going thru your things and actually taking from you is indescribable! I'm still in shock to the behavior of these owners. They've trained their staff to reflect them. Bunch of thieves and liars!

Stated that she's closing up at 8pm and if we don't get there before then we would have to wait till the next morning. She was not willing to wait a few minutes after 8pm! We decided to just wait it out till the next morning to tow the car which we then was helped by Ashley who in deed was helpful.

Once we got picked up at the airport, it was a quick ride down the road. Our processing was efficient and easy. Same upon return. Fast with great customer service! What could have been better? We were the last to pick up our car that day- no other cars available. I feel like we got the clunker. Burn holes in the seat, scratches, dents and just in general probably needs to had to the rental car retirement facility as opposed to being an ACE representative. Also, found a whole cookie in the seat.
