Wasn’t bad but tried the bar area once and they charged my card with another tables tab of $144 when I got one drink. I was the one to catch the mistake they would’ve just left it if I didn’t notice. Hotel isn’t terrible but parking is.

Perfect

We came down to stay for the Timberwolves playoffs. Didn't make the game, but the goal was to stay somewhere nearby all the energy and vibes of Wolves country! The Rand did not disappoint, so seamless with the parking and walking to nearby watch parties. The Lyons Pub and Tom's Watch Bar were within 2-3 blocks. Definitely will be back!

I reserved a king bed room. What I got was a studio queen room. Is there any refund that could come back to me for the issue? Or a decent credit towards another stay in the future

Overall, the stay was fine and reasonably priced. However, there were several drawbacks worth noting. The parking ramp was particularly difficult to navigate—especially for someone who isn’t used to driving or using parking structures, coming from a major city. I’d recommend using valet instead. I arrived hungry, only to find the main restaurant closed during the day. I was directed upstairs to a “restaurant,” but it turned out to be a local sandwich chain in the skyway. I ended up walking to a nearby hotel for lunch, which was excellent, but I was thrown off by this initial encounter. Skip the restaurant regardless. The menu was very limited, and the atmosphere was brite LED chic. The lobby was heavily scented, which may be a concern for guests sensitive to fragrance. That said, the hotel itself is a cool historic property, and the staff were respectful and helpful. During a tornado drill that occurred while I was in a meeting, the staff kindly let me shelter in a conference room in the basement, which I appreciated. The gym was adequate, though the in-room AC/heating unit was quite loud—sounding more like a jet engine. I also had a mixup with the valets where I had another room's car on my bill. This was not terribly hard to get removed, but a time consuming check out activity. All in all, while there were some positives, I’d likely choose a different hotel if staying in downtown Minneapolis again.

Gorgeous hotel. the ice machine only worked on 3 flora and the area around was not safe to walk per the front desk staff. The restaurant and bar were chic, but my soup came out luke-warm and not what the server indicated. The staff didn’t know one of the most popular restaurants that was less than a half mule away, but we’re super friendly and lovely.
