Hilton Minneapolis
Great, except for the restaurant server that on Christmas Day was very rude. Don’t even come check on us even tell us anything about the buffet. He was just very rude didn’t even tell me where to pay and then gets mad at me because I was at the front desk and somebody else had to grab him
