Top Columbus Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Minneapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Nice room good food and great staff."

Delta Hotels by Marriott Minneapolis Northeast

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was amazing I enjoyed my time there"

Radisson RED Minneapolis Downtown

8/10 Good

"The only criticism is the shower. It was so bougie that it actually supersedes practicality...LOL. Figuring out how to work the shower heads shouldn't take longer than the shower itself. Plus...it needs to be fully enclosed! The amount of water that winds up all over the floors and walls outside of the shower area is asking for major maintenance issues down the road. The wallpaper is already starting to peel off the wall. Other than that... the hotel was great"

Holiday Inn St. Paul Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"The water pressure at sink was very low."

Hyatt Place Minneapolis Downtown
