Excelsior Vacation Packages

This hotel was a really great find both for location, amenities, and teh building. Was in town for an event that had us at both the convention center and US Bank Stadium. Out the front door and to the left you are 10 minutes walking distance from the convention center, out the front door and to the right you are 10 minutes walking distance to the stadium. They do also offer a shuttle to the convention center, have a really neat and well kept swim area with hot tub, restaurant on site, rooms are quiet and clean, and there's free milk and cookies every night! And the staff - they are the nicest people who do whatever to help you enjoy your stay! This is truly a hidden gem in Minneapolis and I'd stay 100 more times

If your looking to spend time in the room or dinning at the Nicollet Island Inn. I dont think you will be disappointed. Everything is close to the hotel. A quick Uber ride and your in down town Mpls or St.Paul. I have stayed here a few times. The thing I have liked is a simple thing. You get a real door key. Funny yes but not something one gets anymore.

The breakfast available at Prairie Kitchen and Bar was amazing. We stayed for three days, and they had the best breakfast options in the area. You can have a decent, essential meal with rotating pork, chicken, and beef sausages; a variety of potatoes prepared differently every day; ham and salmon at the charcuterie board; some fruit and special juices; honey from a honeycomb; pickles; and yogurt to energize you for the day's travel. What is even more impressive is the full indoor basketball court and spacious gym, where you can actually spend time as if you live there. The swimming pool is more like a tub and does not offer much of a swimming experience. You can walk to the Minnesota Orchestra Hall, and although the skyway route is a little indirect, you do not have to step outside if you do not want to.

I feel like nobody under this staff communicates with each other. Every time I address a certain situation and mentioned I spoke to someone about it with prior and being told they’ll leave a note, nobody knows what I’m talking about. This creates a hassle that I feel like could’ve been avoided much sooner

The staff were friendly and the rooms and public areas were clean

Clean room and good parking

Went for the weekends. They were able to hold my bag so I can get to an event that I had to be at and then let me check in when I returned. Great service. Enjoyed the time. Would recommend staying there again
