Top Columbus Hotel Reviews

Roami at Century Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"Great space. Like mini apt. Great coffee bar and breakfast options. Loved the yoga room and pickle ball courts."

The Saint Paul Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very quiet room, the quietest hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. It helped to alleviate some of the anxiety from PTSD. Thanks!"

Radisson RED Minneapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing!"

The Royal Sonesta Minneapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Located steps away from Target Center. Stop in at Candyland next door. Front staff was very friendly. Had breakfast at the attached restaurant in the lobby and we enjoyed our meals."

Graduate by Hilton Minneapolis

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about the hotel! The staff were exceptional! Special shout out to Ella, Mara, Nicky! You helped make our stay extra fun!"

Cambria Hotel Minneapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Parking was a little expensive it going across the street was worth it but great otherwise"

Tru By Hilton Minneapolis Downtown

8/10 Good

"Didn't really like paying extra for Parking. Wish someone would put that in the disclosure. Staff were very helpful. Our room had a busted bathroom door, and the lock wasn't the greatest, but it did work. Breakfast was ok, could have had more of a selection of meats, not just Turkey Sausage."

Best Western Plus The Normandy Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The best part about breakfast in the restaurant was that they had fresh squeezed orange"

Delta Hotels by Marriott Minneapolis Northeast

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stayed in this hotel many times and each time the stay has been excellent. The last two times I’ve stayed on the second floor and for some reason the stay has just been less than excellent. I can’t put my finger on it. I think the beds were not as comfy or I was too tired so every little noise or flashing light seemed to keep me from sleeping well. I still give the hotel 5 stars but it’s a lower 5 star experience."
