Hilton Minneapolis
The comforter was covered in hair when we arrived, there was a weird object above our door that we didn’t notice until we were leaving, and things were missing.

Hampton Inn & Suites Minneapolis / Downtown
The room was clean, and the staff very welcoming. The location is great for downtown activities too. Oddly, the bedsheets were intensely staticky, so I got a little shock now and again getting in and out bed. Otherwise, this was a great location.
