Drinks range from wine to bear to alcohol from Black brands. Service: Customer service was always been top notch from the bartenders and owner was so helpful in providing overview of the game, local culture/clubs, MN having the most golf courses which shocked the hell out of us. He have us basic lessons, advice on clubs for women and beginners, stance, what par meant, and hand positioning. Overall personable guy and went out his way to ensure we were good and had some background about golf and MN golf culture. Very genuine. Let the record reflect that I'm not saying that because he's from Chicago (the best city to Eva do it ) ijs Price: Very reasonably priced with options to golf for 30 mins increments. We paid 80 for 1.5 hours which was just enough time. I'm not sure about the food so I've included a menu. I didnt order anything personally this time around. Ambiance: It was an overall great experience for my 2nd time around. Last Summer that had a mixed with a DJ and it was a great turn out. Intergenerational crowd with lots of photo worthy spaces and seating areas. Very comfortable high top tables and lounge area with open space to mingle. They have great artwork, open spaces yet felt inviting for times when networking is appropriate. It would be great for corporate events or mixers. Great lightening, private party spaces and the bar area is nice. I'm glad I remained open to trying it out again after delcaring "golf wasn't my ministry" I just needed a lil more education and hands on basics. I look forward to what's in store for Par365 10/10 would recommend!

My wife and I had never been to--or even heard of--Baldamar, so when our friends invited us to…read moreRestaurant Week there, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to give it a try. From the hostess who graciously held the doors open for us in the 95° heat to our incredible server, David, everything was outstanding. We started with cocktails. I had what may have been the best bourbon Old Fashioned I've ever tasted, and my wife enjoyed a wonderfully refreshing cocktail (whose name I, unfortunately, can't remember). We began our meal with the roasted Brussels sprouts. Normally, I'm not much of a Brussels sprouts fan, but I happily cleaned the plate. My wife and I shared the 12-ounce filet mignon, cooked medium rare, and it was absolute perfection. Chef's kiss. David recommended a bottle of wine to pair with our steak. It wasn't inexpensive, but it was worth every penny. But wait... there's more. As incredible as that wine was with the filet, it somehow paired even better (yes, I know that sounds impossible) with the slice of heaven they call chocolate cake. I'm sure it has a much fancier name on the menu, but "slice of heaven" seems more accurate. If you've read my other reviews, you know I have a tendency toward hyperbole. If there were ever a time to lean into it, this is it. THIS MEAL WAS FANTASTIC. THE AMBIANCE WAS PERFECT. THE FOOD WAS EXCEPTIONAL. AND THE COMPANY WAS DIVINE. We will absolutely be back--and when we do, we'll be asking for a table in David's section. (He works Tuesday through Friday.)

I started with the tequila and mezcal Old Fashioned, and it was fantastic. It was well-balanced, beautifully presented, and garnished perfectly. The food was equally impressive. The wings were delicious--crispy, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. My only small note would be that the celery was a little limp. The Caesar salad has officially been added to my regular rotation. The jammy egg was cooked perfectly with a rich, yolky center that was still easy to slice. The Parmesan crisps were thoughtfully sized, adding great texture without being so large they scraped the roof of your mouth. The salad was evenly dressed, making every bite flavorful. Overall, excellent food, outstanding cocktails, and warm, attentive service. I'll definitely be back.

The hotel is located in a great area and in walking distance to a Goodwill and a Burger King. I tried out the restaurant in the hotel my last night, but ventured out into the surrounding area the other days and nights I was there for food and shopping. There is a mall and several shopping centers withing a five minute drive of the hotel. They operate a shuttle that I used frequently. The hotel staff told me they had just ended a contract, but in spite of that they were super accommodating and offered the shuttle to me whenever I needed to go somewhere. I am not from the area, so I had lots of questions and everyone on the staff was so helpful. Jeanne helped me with restaurants, Steven/Stephen helped me find a Lynx jersey and a good place to eat breakfast, and Thomson helped me schedule my shuttle rides. Everyone was so nice!!!! i was lucky to book this hotel and to meet this amazing staff. The room was spacious and the hallways were quiet up until my last night. I started my stay on a Wednesday and left on a Sunday. Once the weekend visitors arrived the hotel was more busy and much more noisy. The staff were still helpful though. I enjoyed everything about my room. The bed was comfortable, the room and bathroom were clean, and I got fresh towels daily. I would stay in this hotel again if I were in the area.

The hotel is definitely older and it shows. Despite the large, upgraded room, you can't escape the dim lighting, lack of windows, broken AC, and outdated furniture/finishes.

As somebody who looks forward to pelotons at Hilton hotels, the bike here includes no proper foot cages so you either risk your safety by riding without our bring shoes to clip in.

Peeking at this place on Google maps it didn't look like much, but I gave it a shot; I'm quite glad I did! Part of why I'd been unsure was because it does have a relatively small footprint of the landscape (it doesn't even encompass the entire lake, as many houses have backyards around more than half the shore... boo). But, they made up for it with a really nice visitor center and art installations! Honestly, I'd say this place wouldn't be half as good without the outdoor art walk; I really enjoyed discovering all the unique and fun sculptures along the path. It meant I got a much more engaged and lengthy experience; I don't know if their longest path was much more than a mile's distance, but because of the sculptures I kept venturing off the paved path to check them out up close (and take photos and selfies with each)! It was fun. There seemed to be two parking lots. The one near the visitor center was pretty large and seemed to be necessary; there were quite a lot of visitors there when I was, plus a school bus! Most of the visitors seemed to be there to enjoy some skating around out on the frozen lake, but others were walking the trail. Inside the visitor center were bathrooms, including a family restroom, water fountains, including a water bottle refill station, cute little trinkets to buy, a cafe with beverages and bakery snacks, a cozy seating area, lots of rooms for community events, a board advertising said community events for the next couple months, and an art exhibit. I was grateful for the easy access to bathrooms and water! Just outside the visitor center was one of the most adorable little free libraries I've ever seen, nestled inside a mushroom-like sculpture! All in all, definitely worth checking out. Unless you lived nearby, you probably wouldn't go too repeatedly (I think the indoor art exhibit changes seasonally, but the outdoor one has been installed awhile... one of the plaques read 2018), but it's great for a one-off or occasional visit!

They began to clean up before 9, even though the dance went until 10:30. They took down decorations, tables and chairs to the point that there wasn't even a place for people to sit that weren't dancing. They moved people's stuff around to other places so they could take tables down which made it difficult for people to find their things. Less than a minute after the dance ended, they began to shut off the lights. Due to the fact we felt we were being pushed out, I wouldn't recommend this place

On our recent stay in the Twin Cities, we stayed at the Courtyard Marriott in Roseville, which was…read morewicked close to I-35W and could get you to downtown Minneapolis in about 20 minutes and to the airport in about 30 minutes, as long as there's no traffic. I was surprised by the amenities, since I would have brought my bathing trunks, given that there was a pool and a jacuzzi. A hockey team was staying there for the weekend, so the pool, fitness center, and outdoor patio with the bubbling, babbling brook were mostly occupied. So was a touch more vibrant and cracking with energy, especially with the parents who travel with the team. The bar was a good spot to chat with people, so long as you had a bartender who knew how to make a Negroni. Room-wise, the bed was hard, which was fine for me but not for my wife, who ached during our stay whenever she had to get up in the morning. The building isn't too big, so we could walk down the hall to the elevator on the third floor and headed back to the lobby, without having to walk the equivalent of a mile. Each floor has an ice maker. What I did enjoy about the room was that it had both a microwave and a fridge, which is great for leftovers from breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Each room has a tv with streaming options for Netflix and Amazon so long as you have an account. The shower pressure was solid. The curtains were ok but if the ac is running then it blows the initial curtain. There was a lovesofa like lounge chair that was nice with outlets to plug in electronics. The desk was good to do work so long as you can get the internet, which without a Bonvoy account, you will have to pay extra for the enhanced that gives you access to do what you need to do. Parking was fairly easy where we always found spaces in the front of the building by the lobby entrance. The hotel front desk were polite and attentive with some being very friendly and affable. Food-wise they do have a full menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's a bit overpriced, especially for breakfast sandwiches but if you aren't planning on driving down the road or into the twin cities, then it can work for what you need. Overall, it's fairly consistent with other Courtyards I have stayed at.

I will say I was extremely disappointed when he introduced us under my maiden name and not our married name. Everyone noticed the error. Additionally during the speeches the mic continually cut out despite being far away from the speakers as instructed. Finally, the dance was not great at all, the initial music played was not in my planning form, and then there was a bunch of slow country songs played simultaneously. Multiple people went up to request dancing music including my husband and myself, I told him to just skip the slow stuff so people could dance. Apart from a few group dance songs, 75% of the dancing crowd dissipated immediately. Overall we enjoyed the ceremony, but are overwhelmed with disappointment for the way the rest of the evening went, I would not recommend unfortunately.
