• Beautiful rooms and bar area, nice location.
• The television did not work in our room despite initial requests for repair that evening.

“Beautiful rooms and bar area. Very knowledgeable concierge service and extremely helpful for our luggage needs. The location on block E was also readily accessible to many activities. Well worth the stay.”

• The beds were so comfortable!
• The two beds in our room were small and the
  AC never got down to 65 all night.

“Very fun, trendy, sophisticated atmosphere where all our traveling needs were met. Everyone was very accommodating.”

• Great location.
• Parking cost $28 for one night, street parking not always available.

“I stayed at the Graves when it first opened and it was very nice, however I wasn't as impressed with my most recent visit. The furnishings in my room were old, worn and stained. The room felt a bit dirty.”

• High level of quality and service.
• I loved the hotel!

“Hotel is one of the best kept secrets in Minneapolis. I was impressed with the high quality and the wonderful treatment I received. Located in the Warehouse District, close to shopping and events, this luxury hotel is the only place to stay.”

• Loved the modern design and modern technology in the room.
• No ice machines, you have to call for ice. Parking a bit high for market.

“A fantastic experience. Ultra cool and modern to the point that some might be intimidated or turned off right away. Personally, I loved it! Ideal location right near all the action. Once in the room, every detail was taken care of from the mp3 player hooked the large plasma TV, to the very high end soaps & shampoos, to the ultra-soft bed, to the flat screen in the bathroom positioned to be viewed from the toilet, sink, or shower. And so quiet (on a weekend party night) I thought I was the only one in the place. I haven't seen this level of detail since staying in a Bellagio suite.”

• Extremely friendly staff, very clean and secure building, and very comfortable beds.
• No free parking whatsoever. Had to pay valet $28 a night. No pool or hot tub. Smaller rooms.

“The Graves 601 is by far the nicest hotel Ive stayed at in the Twin Cities area. Very polite and friendly staff. Stayed on the 15th floor in a corner room and you cant beat the view. A TV in the bathroom and a 5 head shower are also nice features. My only complaints are no free parking available, and the rooms are quite a bit smaller than they seem on the virtual tour. Too small for the price I think. Other than that the Graves is a very contemporary upscale place to spend the weekend.”

“Loved it! Beautiful hotel in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. I can't wait to stay here again. Close to everything through the sky-ways. Use their valet service and walk everywhere. Wonderful staff, modern ambiance. Perfect.”

• Unique styling.
• Furniture uncomfortable, often no staffing at front desk.

“Check-in was chaotic. Drive way is hard to find & very congested. There no signs nor staff telling you that front desk in on 4th floor. Check-in was prolonged, need to sign multiple waivers. My family has spent 50% of last 7 weeks traveling, this check-in was the most prolonged, and unusual. Styling of rooms is unique but uncomfortable. The hallways are dark, some what scary (we come from a smaller town, not all that comfortable with big cities to begin with, due to stories). Multiple time the elevators had foul smells, and no staff at front desk were there to notify. Access to the elevators going to the rooms is through the bar. I suggest skipping this hotel if you are a family traveler.”

• The bed was super and the hotel exceeded our anticipation as far as decorum.
• Front desk staff could have been a little friendlier and would have liked somewhere to park.`

“Beautiful hotel and a great location. We enjoyed being able to walk to different nearby attractions. We did not like the police sirens and flashing lights in the early hours of the morning. Some of the staff at the front desk were not all that friendly. But we would definitely stay there again and have already recommended it to friends and family.”

• The bathrooms were awesome. Great location.
• You have to use two elevators to get to your room.

“Beautiful hotel in the heart of Downtown Minneapolis. If you are going to anything at the Target Center, I'd stay at the Graves 601. Across the street is the Target Center, Hard Rock is on the same street. First Ave across the street and several bars.”

• Great room, fantastic bed and sheets.
• Parking was not included in the room price.

“Great hotel. Located right downtown. Disappointed that parking was not included in the price of the room. Other than that, everything was great. Rooms are not perfectly quiet. Could hear someone going to the bathroom in the morning.”

• Perfect place for us locals to have a romantic evening.
• You have to call room service for ice, took over an hour.

“Right across the street from Target Center, on the same block as many good restaurants and bars, near all the action in Downtown Minneapolis. Drove by it twice because the entrance/valet area is so small. Contemporary but elegant decor, loved the bed and "pillow menu". Rooms are not conducive to room service dinner, great breakfast in bed!”

• Wonderful bed! Great sleep!
• Hallways are too dark; difficult to see details like elev. Buttons.

“Good choice for the trend set; I prefer more traditional, I guess. Too much emphasis on partying, sports, etc.”

• Contemporary interior, luxurious bedding, big screen TV.
• Expensive parking unless you are lucky to find a metered parking spot in a non tow zone.

“Luxurious hotel with cool decor. Downtown in the middle of the action. Near many restaurants. Across from target center.”

• Beautiful materials.
• There is nothing I did not like about the hotel.

“This is the most beautiful hotel I have been in. The finest materials were used in building this hotel- bamboo, granite, glass, slate, maple, etc. The sheets and bedding were 600 count percale and very luxurious. The lighting throughout the hotel was very dramatic. Very posh.”

• Beautiful.
• Don't follow up on service items.

“Great hotel but they still have archaic practices concerning phone charges. I used their phone for a conference call with an 800 prefix and still ended up being charges $112 dollars.”

• Mohamed, the doorman. Total professional.
• Smallest penthouse we have been in.

“Same as most hotels, students earning extra income as employees. Not very professional. Even after confirming our room via phone, upon arrival desk clerk would not put us in the penthouse. Great view from the 21 floor, good bar. Will continue to stay at the Graves as long as the price is right. The Graves is then a good value. ”

• Beautiful decor and urban contemporary feel.
• Small fitness club, no pool.

“The hotel is beautiful and in a great location. I was hoping it had more amenities for someone physically active (workout facilities, pool, sauna, etc) but overall the staff as amazingly attentive.”

• Love the modern architecture and room design.
• Somewhat confusing layout of building.

“I have stayed at this hotel a couple times before, when it was the Le Meridian, and have enjoyed each and every stay. The staff is professional, helpful and the location is convenient. 601 Graves is one of my favorite places to stay in Minneapolis.”
