Don't Be Put off By the Appearance
From the outside, the Snelling makes the Bates Motel look like Disneyland. But actually I am completely satisfied with what I got for what I paid. The room was clean and spacious enough. The bathroom was clean and adequately stocked and the shower worked. There was a fridge and some complimentary bottled water. The office staff is very friendly. My only complaint is a small one, that the in-room HVAC unit is quite loud. But I got used to it. I came to Minneapolis to visit my daughter who lives 10 minutes away, and all I needed was a place to sleep. I would gladly stay here again, and probably will.

This hotel is undergoing new renovations and my room was fantastic, everything new from the bathroom to the new windows, carpet and all new furniture. this was an excellent choice for my trip to Fort Snelling. walking distance to the rail transit.

The room was fine -- clean, with everything we needed. The property was also fine, though the stairwell was cluttered and appeared to be in some state of repair. The location was perfect for us. There was no restaurant but we had a great lunch at SeaSalt, nearby. The next morning I picked up fruit and a muffin at the nearest grocery store while getting my 10K steps in. It was much better than I expected!

Check in was easy, the room was nice and recently redone and clean. It's a convenient location. The exterior needs renovation, but I sense the owners care about the interior first, which is good. I felt safe at all times. It is located near the airport, local busy streets, and the light rail line, so expect some noise from those facilities.

Would recommend to a friend
Never been to Minnesota before but stayed here so I could take the train to the mall or America and the twins game. It was clean, safe, close to the train stations, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely staying here if I end up back in the twin cities!

6/10 Good

The property needs a lot of work.When I arrived and looked at the building,I almost turned back.The paint on the walls as falling apart.The stairway entry had a lot of construction stuff and junk.The place smelled bad,musty/old carpet.The room appeared to have been newly remodeled .It was clean except for the curtains with holes that need replacement.The door did not lock from inside.I appreciated the shower cap and a comfortable bed.They need to work on making the bed too.The sheets were hanging,which is not a big deal but is something that makes the room look better when you walk in.Had to clean the inside of the door because it was dirty.It was hot but the hallway air conditioning was not turned on.The two staff I met were really nice.I pointed out to them what I have listed above and their response was “they are always remodeling’.Felt somewhat unsafe but everything turned out okay.Its a place that I would not return though.

Nice, undergoing construction but clean rooms, even if a little run-down. Nice staff, friendly and right next to the metro

8/10 Very good

Our first impression when checking in was that we weren't sure what we were going to get. But the room was better than what we thought. It was clean suited our needs for an overnight stay. There were a few cosmetic things, but again, it was clean and that is what matters most. We would stay there again

The owners were very friendly and accommodating. The blue line is a block away so very convenient. Sheets, towels, etc. All clean. Very quiet. The only slight negatives would be that the carpet itself is a little worn and the Wi-Fi is a little spotty. But overall we were very happy with the stay and would stay here again.
