We arrived in August, before the start of their season and while their HVAC system was being updated. Thus, our room had an additional, portable AC unit in it to supplement their system. While not ideal, the staff were honest about the situation and the unit cooled the room well. The room was very clean. We enjoyed the attached restaurant, the Beacon, and we even played some air hockey in the lobby, which was a comfortable place to hang out as we met with some people. They had some free water bottles and complementary ice cream sandwiches! Very nice staff. When we visit UMinn again, we will definitely stay at The Graduate again, where we can walk to anywhere on campus.

We were assured that the AC would be working by Monday when we checked in on Saturday - so we decided to stay. The AC was still not working when we left on Wed. When we came back to our room on Tuesday, someone had turned the portable AC in our room off during the day. Our room was almost unbearably hot Tuesday not. I had my 76 year old mom staying with me.

“Even though the AC was out during our stay, the staff was incredibly nice and very accommodating. The hotel itself was clean and welcoming, with games available for kids to enjoy. There are plenty of food options nearby, and it’s just a short drive to multiple downtown areas and activities in Minneapolis. Overall, a very nice hotel and great experience.”
