Days Inn Minneapolis

The rooms are small, which suits me, and each has a fridge. There's also a shared microwave on the first floor. The shower had good pressure and warmed up fast. I found the room a great value, with free parking and a good location. Hallway noise came through the door, but the other guests were respectful while I was there. I'd stay again.

Getting around was easy without a car, thanks to the nearby public metro train, and the hotel is also close to downtown. Breakfast had a good range of choices and was a nice start to the day. I had a pleasant stay at the Days Hotel by Wyndham on University Avenue. The room was neat, clean, and well maintained, so I was comfortable from the start. Overall, it's good value if you're after a clean, well-located hotel with dependable amenities.

We were on a budget, and this worked for what we needed, though it wasn't perfect. The location was ideal for the 3M Mariucci. The beds and pillows were clean and really comfortable, and the internet worked well. Breakfast was free and had plenty of variety, with a very friendly worker. Our TV was tiny, but at least there was one, and the coffee machine in our room was dirty. Our booking said there'd be a microwave, but there wasn't one. When I asked, the front desk worker said double rooms don't have microwaves.

Location was the only thing this hotel had going for it. Check-in came with an incredibly rude staff member, and the room looked like it should have been remodeled 30 years ago. The TV picture was awful, the toilet ran day and night, and I couldn't get more than a minute of hot water in the shower. Breakfast was a joke: white bread, bran flakes, or strawberry yogurt. If location matters, spend $30 more and stay a block down. You'll be glad you did.
