Top South Minneapolis Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Minneapolis Downtown

2/10 Terrible

"I was disappointed with our stay at Embassy Suires. Our family had 2 rooms. My adult children and grandson stayed in one room with a king bed and pull out couch. When it was time to get ready for bed they noticed the pull out couch had to bedding and bedding, blankets, sheets no where to be found. They called the front desk to request bedding and they said they woukd deliver some. No one showed. My grandson had to use a towel as a blanket. Buyer beware. If you get a room with pull out, checkfor bedding and best get it youtseld instead of waiting for someone to bring it. "
