“This downtown hotel strikes me as a particularly solid choice; its proximity to both the US Bank Stadium and the Minneapolis Convention Center is undeniably convenient, and the dog-friendly policy adds a layer of welcome. I especially like that guests can enjoy live music and a bite at the on-site Normandy Kitchen Cafe & Bar. It's a blend of practical amenities and engaging social atmosphere.”
