    Bed was very very firm. Also getting the temperature right in the shower was near impossible. Went from scalding hot to very cold throughout my shower

    Loved the architecture and the area. Pictures don't do the place justice. Very quaint place

    Historic and stunning location on an island in the middle of Mississippi River. Beautifully decorated and windows all around dining area! Was able to walk to along park area and go to film at nearby theatre. I hosted a birthday brunch for my close friends and then spent the night @ inn! Wonderful memory!!

    A gracious inn with character and warmth.

    Only would have been better if we could have stayed longer.

    The inn is beautiful and we loved the histric character and ismall size. We didn't have breakfast at the inn but had dinner in the restaurant. The food was delicious and the atmosphere of the bar and restaurant were lovely. Beautiful view, attentive staff - we felt well-taken-care-of. Our room was wonderful - loved those huge shuttered windows that opened to a romantic river view. Inviting linens and nice toiletries. We had a great walk in the morning along the river. The location was also so convenient to our event- a 3 minute wait for an Uber and a ten-minute ride there.

    Everything was excellent except the air conditioner. I could not controll the air conditioner from my room. Eventhough it was winter, sometimes the airconditioner cooled the room instead of heating; I had to call the front desk everytime this happens. The lighting in the bedroom cold have been better.

    I really liked the hospitality of the staff. The decoration of the bedroom was also good. They cleaned my room regularly. Both the bathroom and bedroom were very clean and equipped with necessary stuffs. If I were to visit Minneapolis again, I would be happy to stay at the same hotel (Nicollet Island Inn) again.

    The hotel is a bit far away from the metro (15-20 mins walk), and the room was not perfectly clean as I found a bug (small cockroach?).

    The staff was friendly and very accommodating, I was able to check-in 3 hours before the usual check-in time. The room was great, the bed comfortable and the WiFi was working great. The shower was especially good compared to other hotels.

    A bit dated- and our room had loud and powerful vents that could not be diverted that pumped hot and then cold air directly into our faces while in bed.

    Location and charm! So many great places within walking distance

    Beautiful Old Historic Inn in a great location. I didn't give them a great rating for amenities, but that is only because the restaurant and bar are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, a leftover from the pandemic

    Maybe make it free? No other ideas! Exceptional!

    We were in town visiting family and friends so didn’t eat at the restaurant, but it was certainly crowded every night. Next time! Truly exceptional option for people traveling with pets. Most hotels in the city are in a cement jungle, but Nicollet Island is part of the Minneapolis Park system, so there are good options to exercise your dog! Comfortable room and bed and all of it! Will choose this Inn for future visits!

    We stayed on Mon and Tues and unfortunately missed the award-winning Chef and food service. That might have otherwise made it a "10".

    Historic architecture and retro furnishings.
