Minneapolis hotels near Old Milwaukee Road Depot

Cons: My only complaint is that we went with a group of friends and had multiple rooms. We showed up an hour early for check in and they told us our rooms weren't ready. That's fine, I knew we were early. But the receptionist said I will have your rooms ready in 45min we are getting them all by each other. So I asked if they had a place for bags (we only had 4 small ones) She said the room was full. So we had to walk them all the way back to our car in the ramp. We then came back 45 min later. We felt with a different receptionist who said if we wanted to wait another 30 min he could get our rooms all by each other. We were there for an event and already running late. So we opted to just get 4 rooms anywhere (we thought that's why we were waiting the 45min first of all to get rooms by each other) I also noted they had taken other people's bags into another storage room and had people bags behind the reception desk....

Cons: Beds were very hard, my back killed the next morning. Put a pillow under you knees at night and you'll probably be ok.

Cons: The front desk people were not friendly.

Cons: Doors close too loudly at night.

Cons: There seemed to be a low pitch whining / whirring of something --at all times in our hotel room.

Cons: Very cold pool. The parking lot needs better lighting.

Cons: They staff always have this bougie I'm better then you attitude every time I go in there now I don't know if it's just me or.... Second I wish they had an adult's only station on the t.v.

Cons: Nothing to complain about

Cons: Very pricey for this hotel. Had to pay for parking.

Cons: Again the exterior looks a bit scary

Cons: There was a dog in the room next door that was barking. We alerted the staff. Dog was still barking when we returned. Thankfully within 10 minutes of being back in our room it stopped.

Cons: I wish parking could be free and they would offer a complimentary breakfast.

Cons: There was a bad smell in the main hallway

Cons: the place had an odor to it that was not friendly .

Cons: The pool was a little cold, not too bad, but it could stand to be warmed up a degree or two. The fitness center is very small but adequate. It wasn't crowded when I uesd it but I could see that it could get filled up very fast at the right time of day. One of the 10lb and one of the 12lb weights were missing so I had to use the 15lbs to have a matched set. But that just made me work a little harder which isn't really a bad thing.

Cons: Parking really BAD. COULDN'T FIND parking. We had my daughter at hospital. We came late. The check in and then relocation to hotel room for people is too far. That was quite a walk for me.

Cons: Rooms slightly dated and remote was slow to change channels on the TV (I am being overly critical here and this did not play into my rating).

Cons: There were several little things that added up to a disappointing stay for us. Wireless internet was not free in our rooms, which I have only ever experienced at a hotel that was SO nice that it made it worth it to come down to the lobby and use the free wifi. This was not, however, SO nice. The lobby area was small. No late checkout? I have literally never heard of this. I wasn't allowed to check in until 3, so why do I have to be out of the room by noon? They forgot to take off the disabled movies from the previous resident. Again - not a huge deal, but when I called the front desk, the person told me "that's just how it is sometimes" and he "doesn't know how the movies work up there." O-kay... so I asked to speak with a manager, and was placed on hold for way too long. Someone finally called us back and fixed it, but at that point we didn't really feel like spending the money on it. They really should have offered us a free movie or something to make up for it. Oh, they forgot towels when cleaning the room. And there were only 2 to begin with. This seems like a pretty basic step. All of this would have been fine/expected at a 2-3 star hotel, but I expected a little better from this one.

Cons: I had called early in the day that we were scheduled to arrive asking if they could put a cute note in the room along with a couple wine glasses. The lady who helped me on the phone thought it was a great idea. She asked me if I wanted 17th or 18th floor: I said 18th. When we arrived we were put on the 19th floor, the top floor. This would've been a nice surprise if the note and glasses were in the room but they weren't. The room we received also did not have the amenities that were listed when we selected the room online. Features like "spa robe, spa room, kitchen area." It was also listed as the Presidential Suite. I asked the front desk about it, showing them the reservation description on my phone. She then informed me that 3rd party bookings don't have any real say in the amenities in the room, that she was sorry, and there wasn't much she could do. It sounds like a 1st world problem, and I feel like a whiner just typing this up, but it really put a damper on my romantic plans. Had I truly known the room wouldn't have the stuff it said it would I would've kept looking and even spent more on a room that did. I assumed everything would be as I planned and it wasn't until it was too late that I found out his was not the case. Also, kind of odd, the same page that I showed to the front desk to plead my case has now been changed: it doesn't have those features listed anymore. It will be very hard for me to trust the process moving forward.

Cons: I think having free wi-fi be a standard amenity would be nice considering the standard of hotel that it is. I didn't like only getting it after having to call the front desk and ask about it at a Hilton Hotel. And the vent in the upper corner of our room really loudly transferred sound from another room all night. Mostly of them yelling playing music, guitar and screaming until 3am. The biggest one was that the bedside lamps, while very nice, flickered brightly fairly often no matter what dimness they were set to. They kept triggering migraines in my girlfriend and made her feel awful so we stopped using the lights. If you guys only listen to one thing I mention please fix the lights. It's really important for light sensitive people and can really easily ruin their experience. I also get that you guys dont have parking because you're right in the middle of everything, but comping parking at a ramp would've been really nice. Of you do comp parking I didn't know about it. Also I thought my room would have a tub, that could totally be on me but the pictures didn't really specify at all which one you had. I wanted to try a bath bomb lol. Overall I would've preferred staying somewhere much cheaper out of the middle of the city but still getting all the amenitys like free easy parking, and free wifi I didn't have to ask or call about. With steaks lighting and no noise pollution from other guests. What you guys have is nice looking but it's not worth double the price of somewhere that has those other things right off the bat. Even if they don't have a bar or nice lobby lighting.

Cons: It was probably 60 degrees in the room. The thermostat did not work. They ended up giving us a small space heater, which was hardly sufficient. If you can imagine, when you are miserably cold it's difficult to enjoy anything.

Cons: Had a great experience. Great location, clean and great ambiance.

Cons: Can't think of anything negative.

Cons: No real complaints.

Cons: Shower did not drain, bed was curved (so not flat), and the Internet is not free...

Cons: The double beds are extremely small! The shower doesn't seal so floor was wet after shower. No bath.

Cons: Bed was ok. The view was just of the building across the way. No pool for guests.

Cons: The "standard" beds were tiny. Not ideal for sleeping double. Parking was pricey.

Cons: AC in the room was terrible room was hot and uncomfortable.

Cons: Parking fee, even though the website said included. Breakfast needed far more selection. Minor complaint: Would be helpful if the room had USB charging ports for cell phones. Most hotels include ports in their lamps or alarm clocks.

Cons: Kind of a crappy shower, no internet access in the gym (including on the networked machines themselves).

Cons: Shower leaked and cupboard door fell off despite being fixed once. I was never told the price of parking. Last year it was free. This year it was $22 a day. Would have like to have known. High cost for in room Internet.

Cons: Parking is inconvenient

Cons: Broken sink

Cons: Clogged sink/then toilet clogged and that wasn't fixed for 12 hours /tv didn't work/glasses not replaced/towels had stains/no fridge where fridge was meant to be/ no offer to move us or compensate us for inconvenience

Cons: Room windows were drafty, hotel staff seemed generally clueless about their own hotel.

Cons: no coffee maker in the room, basically watched a prostitution exchange go down. super shady and weird hotel. also, was promised something would be sent to the room since i was there with my best friend celebrating her birthday (their offer, not asked for) and nothing was sent. when i asked about it, was given $30 to mannys breakfast which paid for 2 bagels with cream cheese, 2 cups of coffee and a glass of orange juice. ended up with a thai massage rather than what i wanted and was in pain for an hour. will NOT stay here again.

Cons: Elevators are old and slow. Half of the elevators were out of service. The card readers in the elevators were finicky but you can't get to your room until you fiddle with it. Parking is a nightmare. Attached public parking ticket machine would not give out tickets, just takes credit card and charges for the whole day and can't get in or out after 10 PM. The W does not have affiliated parking so that pretty much just leaves the expensive valet parking. Even that was challenging because the "pull-off" from the busy downtown street is exceptionally small. Over the five days, we often had to stop in the regular traffic lane and hold up traffic while handing the car off to the valet driver.

Cons: The bed was old and not very comfortable. Stayed at the W a half dozen times before and this bed was the worst.

Cons: Our room had poor lighting, furniture had scatches and chips. Paint on wall was cracked in the bathroom. The lounge turns into a club at night with lots of drinking, it's very loud. We had a hard time sleeping due to the number of drunk people there. We had to bring ID to be in the lounge and the bouncers were really rude.

Cons: People on the floor were loud & the room we had (a corner room - 2012) allowed all sound through the walls. We could hear every door opening / closing & noise from the hall. Cannot recommend for weekend unless you do not plan to go to bed until after 2 am

Cons: Wish they had hot tub and sauna.

Cons: Rooms are very small for the money, Corner King was dinky, view poor, carpet dirty. Expected more for my dollar. Checked in a 4;30, my room wasn't ready until I made a big deal out of it. Check out is 11:00 and I couldn't get a room at 4:30 on a Saturday?

Cons: Bar

Cons: Awful view of the HVAC equipment for the restaurant below. Smallest room on the second floor.

Cons: Asked for a room with a view and got the 5th floor. Wanted something a bit higher in a 28 story building.

Cons: The mini bar was outrageously priced! Lucky there are plenty of shops and places down the street for food and goodies.

Cons: I didn't like that there was no free wifi for guests. Almost every hotel I've stayed at in the last four years has free wifi for paying guests, it's a shame W can't keep up. Also, the mirror in the bathroom was absolutely filthy from the guests before us which was offputting that they didn't clean it.

Cons: I will be dealing with Marriott's management and not publicly discussing it

Cons: The cost of the room was more than I'd ever paid. I was also under the impression that the parking fee was included in the price of the room, which was not the case.

Cons: Hotel is a little dated and rooms are tight.

Cons: A bit cramped even though it was a updated room. While the staff was generally friendly, getting someone to answer a phone at the front desk and the Valet was slow and frustrating.

Cons: The restaurant seemed a little low on staff, we wandered around for a while looking for service and ended up going elsewhere.
