Great prices, great views and a cool theme
Pros:

I chose to stay at the Foshay for the room view. In that regard it was everything I wanted & more. The suite was up 23 floors and there were only 4 rooms total on that whole floor. The walls seemed a little thin, but I played a loud DJ set from 10PM-2AM with no noise complaints. The art deco theme was nice. I like the art on the backwall and the marble table. The room was so spacious seriously the other downtown hotels don't even come close in size/price ( the Rand, Hilton, Mariott center, canopy). The restaurant connected to it (Manny's) had top notch food. The living room bar downstairs was upscale, and the food/drinks were looking sooooooo good. Don't do valet, it was only $20 a night to park across the street instead of the 60 per night for valet. During my 2 day stay nothing was stolen. I booked third party and the check in had some hiccups, but they were giving welcome tequila shots at the door so like that kinda balanced out. Also, free champagne sent up to the room lol not sure if that was for my bday or the check in discrepancy but either way the service was amazing. Thanks for being there Foshay

Absolute nightmare
Pros:

I had several thousand dollars worth of merchandise and prescription medication stolen from me at this location. Staff is useless about the matter which makes me believe this is some sort of scam. Plenty of classier establishments available in this city.

A joke

Hotel cancelled on me on the day and tried to move me to an inferior hotel without any refund. Unacceptable

10/10- extremely impressed
Pros:

If you are any of the following: a global traveler within Corporate America the last 20 plus years who has stayed in many, many hotels, volleyball mom or dad, still goes out to have a drink and listen to music, likes great food (I’m from Chicago so my palate has seen the best-LOL ), and a 4 out of 5 hotel snob, then this review is for YOU. We were there for a volleyball tournament a couple of weeks ago and everything was super - the rooms are big and modern, great downtown location, Manny’s Steakhouse in the lobby, drinks were fantastic, and Fri/Sat night a DJ in the Living Room lobby. Staff was great, check in check out smooth, and honestly one of the more pleasant weekends I’ve had traveling in a long time considering we were at the Convention Center for volleyball all weekend. If you are traveling to Minneapolis and you fit one of the above descriptions then this hotel is for you. Trust me.

It’s nice, neat and clean. Just not worth the price.
Pros:

The observation tower and museum is cool.

Cons:

The prize for what you get in the actual room isn’t worth it. I could stay at the chambers and have 500 sqft for the same price I paid
