Hotel TownePlace Suites by Marriott Minneapolis Downtown/North Loop (Minneapolis, USA)

These rooms are well-equipped with very comfortable beds. Excellent work areas for the business traveler. Full kitchenettes are convenient to save a buck on dining out.

This affordable location is set within the newly revitalized Warehouse District of the city, very safe and quiet, and within walking distance to many attractions, restaurants and rail stops . Handy for hospital visits and a stroll along the river to relax in the evening. Five blocks' walk reaches the popular Target Field. Central downtown is about a mile away, and many have opted for a metered cab or rental car if they didn't bring their own vehicle. The on-site fitness center is clean and adequate. Breakfast is mostly the continental basics, but nicely presented and with a good selection.

Helpful and efficient staff are always willing to make fresh chocolate chip cookies for guests in need of an afternoon pick-me-up. The manager may well stop by for a chat during the breakfast hour also to see how you're enjoying your stay. Don't hesitate to ask for directions, suggestions or assistance from anyone on this team.

If you have a car on-site, you'll pay the fee to park on the lower level - be sure to get clarity on that price at booking. Otherwise, you may be in for more of a hike than you'd like. Do carefully plan out your trip and sites you'd like to visit to decide if you'll need to walk, take a cab/train/bus or rent a car. Metered cabs are recommended over non-metered.

You'll likely be asked to sign a "noise waiver" as this city location isn't known for its silence.

Not bad, but this site could use a refurb in some areas.
