Renaissance Minneapolis Bloomington Hotel

"It was a very comfortable bed and very clean. Everything worked great. One thing, I could not find any music anywhere. You might want to ask for assistance. $23 For an old-fashioned."

"Do not be fooled by the beautiful lobby and the swanky music playing over the speakers throughout the hallways. If you are into booking a hotel, to get a little peace and quiet, this is not the place for you. They had really nice amenities. However, you couldn't enjoy any of them. All weekend long the hot tub was filled with at least 20 to 25 children even though the hot tub capacity is six. The swimming pool looked like a scene out of the movie Sandlot. The one place that I thought I could get a break from the loud screaming sound of children was in the fitness room. But nope! Even with my headphones turned all the way up, I could hear the children screaming loudly in the workout room. Not one parent was in there with them. The kids were having competitions on how fast they could run on the treadmill, you name it. Whatever. The parents just let their kids run the entire hotel while the parents got drunk by the pool, had 50 pizzas half eaten, open and surrounding the pool and an extremely large and loud speaker like they were having a rave. Not one staff member fom the hotel did anything about it. If you are someone that is trying to find a place to relax, maybe even take your significant other for a romantic night out, or just need a break from your children at home, do not come to this place! I promise you will be very disappointed and it will be an entire waste of your money."

"I rarely leave reviews but this place was a great place to stay. It has such a unique and almost homey feeling to it. I travel nearly 100 days a year and have stayed in a lot of places. Housekeeping here is phenomenal. I was so impressed I went looking for things.... couldn't find a thing. You can tell the detail the staff takes preparing a room. Even the postcards on the desk are perfectly hung . Rooms were great, bed is comfortable and I REALLY appreciate feather pillows. The decorations of the lobby and restaurant were also great. Interior design was really cool. The ONLY thing I'd wonder about would be staying on the first floor because the hallway ceiling was really low.... but maybe the height is different in the rooms. Overall, kudos to the owners and staff of the hotel. Clean clean clean!"

"Very pleasant hotel with a fun style and warmth to it. I found the staff to be extremely accommodating. The room was beautiful. Comfy bed. Good water pressure in the shower. Excellent view of a parking lot. ;) The pool is awesome, but I would hate to get assigned one of the rooms that looks over it. The club is a nice, quiet place to get away from the bar crowd. The food in the bar/restaurant is actually quite good and well above what you might expect at a hotel. The $15 breakfast buffet isn't particularly noteworthy. I really only have two minor quibbles: the bed pillows are huge and so firm they almost pushed up on my neck, and the HVAC unit in the room blares non-stop and can be distracting. You get used to it, but I have to think that machine is pushing out at least 70 decibels constantly. Would gladly go back and spend more time in this pleasant property. Top marks all around."

"This hotel has a whole vibe to it. Love the decor and the huge pool and hot tub. Rooms are a tad small but still nice. So glad hotels are getting away from carpet. Overall it was a great stay for us. We will be back!!"
