• The pool area was nice and quiet.
• No free internet access. One computer in the business office for the entire hotel. It would cost 12.95 for 24 hrs. Access to the internet and phone.

“Location was difficult to find. Even with the directions on line. The double beds were not adequate for two people who are used to King sized beds. Internet access is usually available at this star level hotel that we have stayed at. Parking was difficult to access handicap spaces.”

• It is a little obscured and the road is one-way.

“The hotel and staff were amazing. It was in a nice area that had convenient access to highways. My only compliant was it was set off of the road, on a way street. But, everything else was great!”

• Pool and exercise facilities and outside walking opportunities.
• Sink outside bathroom; companion didn't like shower.

“This was the second Marriott I'd stayed in within a month; both had wonderful beds and linens, though this room was smaller than one in Bellevue, way. Except for the sink outside the bathroom, the room was very comfortable. We were surprised to not have the option of re-using towels or limiting sheet changes as is prevalent in other places. The hotel is in a business park which has a confusing one-way street system but offers walks on paths around the area, which includes at least one pond.”

• Beautifully appointed, comfortable beds, staff very attentive,
• Cost of internet service was high, though the speed and service was good.

“The Marriott Minneapolis southwest/Minnetonka is a lovely hotel. Despite being part of a chain, this facility is beautifully appointed. The knowledgeable staff looked for ways to be pleasant and helpful. Our restaurant dinner was quite good, even late at night. The Sunday brunch buffet was quite complete and satisfying. I was impressed overall--not easy since I have traveled extensively. I would happily recommend this hotel to others looking for a good experience at reasonable rates.”

• Nothing not to like.

“Our hotel stay was wonderful. It was a get-away weekend so we enjoyed the peace and quiet in the hallways, the attentive staff, and adult-only hours at the pool and the extremely comfy bed. Even though we didn't leave the hotel to do some errands until later in the day, the room was cleaned when we came back later that evening. I hope we get this hotel every time!”

• I loved the comfortable beds with the down comforter.
• The price of a glass of wine - $7.00.

“It is off the beaten path but still very easy to get to. It is quiet and the rooms are very nicely decorated. The bed and bedding are conducive for a good night's rest. You just sink into the feather bed. I love having a coffeemaker in the room and you even get a morning paper. Definitely enjoyed our stay and would go back anytime.”

• Bedding.
• I left a pair of shoes in room and was told they were not found. I guess the maid wanted them.

“Very disappointed in customer service. I called within hours of leaving the hotel to make sure I was able to retrieve my forgotten shoes. They supposedly never found them. I find that hard to believe. Was on hold for so long I hung up one time. Took four long distance phone calls and still no shoes. I know I left them by the door in a shoes box inside a bag. How could they not be there?”

• Bedding was outstanding. Very comfortable and high quality.
• Bathroom was nothing fancy, standard tub and shower could have been higher-end, given the rest of the hotel.

“This hotel was very clean and comfortable. It was more than adequate and we enjoyed our stay for a weekend shopping trip to the twin cities. Location was fine, room was great. Nice pool in the hotel but a small hot tub (6 person capacity) however we were then only ones in the pool area at "prime time" 8pm or so, so there was no issue there. Great workout facility! Polite staff, easy and efficient check in. Best of all, a great price! ”

• Some of the staff great!
• Phone cord was left in suite and never to be found.

“At the end of a long day we sat to have a drink and the bartender took 2 drinks away as if in a hurry to end his shift and housekeeping never found the charging cord to the cell left at the desk of the suite we were in. I find that strange, as my husband ran hotels for 15 years and there is a lost and found in all of them.”

• Not a hotel for kids. Never again!

“If it would have been just myself and my husband, it would have been great. Having a one year old with us was not easy. No microwaves to heat up milk..... no kid friendly places to eat etc. Also the electrical outlet did not work in the bathroom which was a pain for getting ready in the morning”

“A very comfortable place to stay. The lobby and other appointments of the hotel tell you that it is a high class hotel. The king size beds were very comfortable; a cut above others that I have experienced. The rooms were very quiet - I didn't hear any other guests. An enjoyable stay.”

• The hotel was very well staffed and had luxurious accommodations. The rooms were large and had recently been renovated.
• When I arrived, they had given away my room. I had to stay in a Hospitality Suite the 1st night but they rectified this the following day.

“Overall my stay at the Marriott was a very pleasant experience. The accommodations far exceeded my expectations and inspite of the early mix-up with my room, I have nothing but high marks for this hotel and its staff. I'm going to book another room in Mineapolis, for a return trip to complete my previous business there. I hope I get the same hotel. A Very Satisfied Customer.”

• The hotel was beautiful, clean and staff very helpful.
• The hotel was not on a main street. Restaurants and shopping were a distance away. Somewhat inconvenient.

“Our experience at this hotel was very pleasant. It was clean, beautiful, with very friendly and helpful staff. The pool and work out room was very clean with no inappropriate behavior of children or loud guest. The hotel is not as convenient as I would have liked. We drove about 15 minutes to a restaurant. But over all the nights accommodation was wonderful. Thank you.”

• Very nice hotel and accommodation. I had a lounge which was quiet for conversation.
• Nice location but a little out of the way for weekend traveler, look good for business travelers.

“This hotel was very comfortable, clean, friendly in a quiet and out of the way location. Would be great for a business traveler due to the business park surrounding it. But for the same reason it is not as convenient a location for family or leisure. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to someone.”
