Top First Avenue Hotel Reviews

Cambria Hotel Minneapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and property. It’s new and everything about our experience including price point was awesome!"

The Royal Sonesta Minneapolis Downtown

8/10 Good

"I chose your hotel primarily because it is within easy walking distance to the Orpheum Theatre, where I watched my granddaughter perform as Glinda in "Wicked." The room was clean, the TV had lots of channels, I had a good dinner in the downstairs cafe (despite leaving my book there and not noticing it was missing until I reached the airport), and the two staffers at the front desk provided me with great information on how to take a bus (instead of a cab) to the airport, allowing me to see much more of the Twin Cities than just the area near the hotel, and taking only a half hour more than a cab for $2.00 instead of $50.00."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Minneapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"My favorite place to stay in the Minneapolis area! The Target Center is super close and the other go-to spots are easy to get to as well. The on site valet service is phenomenal and provides peace of mind with off-street secure parking for a reasonable price. Their rooms are spacious and clean, and the continental breakfast with the made to order omelet area is outstanding! Highly recommend!!"

Hyatt Centric Downtown Minneapolis

8/10 Good

"The property is clean and well maintained given that it is an old building with a fun past! The hotel is located in the business part of downtown so it was quieter that other areas. The hotel staff was attentive. Mike is an EXCELLENT bartender and gave great recommendations for dinner options that were within walking distance. We had a King Suite which I thought would be great since our teenage daughter was staying with us for a couple of the nights and could sleep on the sofa bed. However, there was no door dividing the two spaces which was a little odd. If this matters, ask the front desk for a Suite with a door. There is a great exercise room if you lift weights or want cardio equipment. I wish there had been weights that were less than five pounds and yoga mats so I could have taken advantage of the space."
