Bottom Line

With direct access to the Skyway and within walking distance of the Target Center, Hyatt Place Minneapolis/Downtown is in a convenient location for families and business travelers exploring the city. The upper-middle-range chain hotel was renovated in 2013 and offers 213 spacious rooms with 42-inch HDTVs, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi. The property has a small indoor pool and a fitness center, plus a free breakfast is provided. Other features include an on-site restaurant as well as a cafe/bar with happy hour specials. Like a lot of hotels in the area, there’s a fee for parking, and some guests complain of noise from neighboring rooms. Even with those minor setbacks taken into account, the property offers a good value and location at a fair price compared to others in the area.

Oyster Hotel Review

Hyatt Place Minneapolis/Downtown

Scene

Large chain hotel with bright, contemporary interiors

Hyatt Place Minneapolis/Downtown is located on the eighth-story of a tall building, with a parking lot occupying the lower floors. Inside, the lobby has a warm, pleasant vibe with peach-y walls, tan couches, minty green chairs, and yellow tables. With internal exposed hallways and soaring ceilings, much of the hotel has a bright and open feel, including the breakfast area, where leisure and business travelers gather for the free breakfast. Large windows shed light on the bar, where guests can enjoy happy hour drinks and appetizer specials, as well as view sports games.

Location

Connected to the Skyway in downtown Minneapolis 

Hyatt Place Minneapolis/Downtown is located in downtown Minneapolis with direct access to the Skyway, a collection of enclosed footbridges between buildings that allow travelers to maneuver through downtown without being subjected to the outside weather. Nicollet Mall is within a 10-minute walk, and both the Minneapolis Convention Center and the University of St. Thomas-Minneapolis are within a 15-minute walk away. Target Center, home of the Minnesota Timberwolves, is an 11-minute walk from here. Government Plaza Station and Platform is within a five-minute walk, making Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport a 30-minute ride and the Mall of America a 45-minute ride on the metro.
