Hyatt Regency Bloomington - Minneapolis
Thought the hotel was decent. Rooms were quite dusty though, and the one working elevator is an absolute nightmare. The 15$ a day parking is also quite ridiculous. Not like you are staying in downtown Minneapolis! Other than that, hotel was fine. Was quiet for as busy as it was.

The Saint Paul Hotel
The staff were all very kind and attentive! The rooms were solid. Only complaint was that the robes had dirty tissues inside the pockets. Still a lovey time though!
