Minneapolis accommodations
going to MN for graduation first week of June. Need to be relatively close to downtown but can't afford downtown hotel rates. We will have a car.
Any idea of place to stay for $100 max? I know MOA area fits the price guideline, but it is too far, unless that is our only option. There will be my husband, myself and 16 YO grandson. Thanks. |
If you are willing to stay around Eagan/Bloomington, there are all kinds of nice inexpensive places to stay. For instance, I just stayed at the Best Western Plus Dakota Ridge(near 494/35E) for $55/nt that included hot breakfast and a shuttle to local restaurants. The deal is available on the Best Western website only
UofM, St Thomas and St Catherine are all easy drives from there |
You can bid on Priceline and get some good hotels downtown for under $100.

Yes, priceline.com ( name your own price BIDDING) or hotwire.com (opaque hotels) may have something good for you. If you don't get what you want now, make a cancelable reservation and try closer to the date.
You can check www.betterbidding.com for hotwire hotel deciphering lists and and recent priceline bids and wins. Also, at www.biddingfortravel.com. |
There is a Radisson downtown that I recently stayed at for $89.00. I think it was on 6th street. Close to Hennepin avenue and 4-5 blocks from the Target Field.
|
You might want to check-out the Aloft Hotel which is in the Warehouse district. It's a couple of blocks from the Metrodome on the periphery of the Downtown area.
If you're ok without a lot of frills like a full service restaurant, I thought it was a good value. Think of it like a W Hotel Light. |
