Cambria Hotel Minneapolis Downtown
Cambria is a wonderful hotel. The fees of parking and eating at the restaurant add up though so I would suggest adding 50$ per night to cover that expense. However the front desk was fantastic The room was amazing, great view, great bed, great shower :)

Hampton Inn & Suites Minneapolis / Downtown
Hotel was clean overall but wifi was unbelievably slow. The room next door was blasting TV at 2am, so I had to call the front desk. Not sure if maybe the walls are just thin. No complimentary water bottles
