I'd return!
Cons:

Instructions for Keurig seemed to assume the machine was empty of water. It wasn't. So my hot cocoa overflowed - luckily not also overflowing the catch tray (which I emptied and cleaned). Either staff should make sure Keurig is empty or instructions should be modified.

Pros:

The location worked well for what we wanted. Checking in and out was smooth and very easy.

Cons:

The room was very hot when we got there and the thermostat didn't do anything to really change the comfort of the room. I had to crack open the window to sleep comfortably and it was a cold night (we woke up to a light snow).

The room was AMAZING!! All of the artwork inside was beautiful. The buildings around it were lovely and older. Very quiet neighborhood with plenty of walking paths. So welcoming and inviting. I stayed here with my 3 kids. They absolutely loved it as well!

Pros:

We appreciate the unique and ornate shared areas and were surprised by the modern updated room. It was large, clean, and quiet. The age of the building comes with a bit of a smell that we were able to mask when in our room. The amenities are few, but the premise behind Erik’s Retreat makes the lack of extras easy to overlook. We only needed the room as a landing place and was perfectly comfortable for our needs!

We’d stay again!

Pros:

I like the donation thing that was nice to see, but i also saw that on Google review. They serve breakfast but I did not see any breakfast. I was kind of disappointed on that.
And the instructions, it didn't come with a parking map.
I had to ask for 1 thankfully, the lady was very accommodating on that.
The rooms were spacious and comfortable.

Pros:

We appreciated the manner in which Erik's Retreat was run. When we arrived on Friday, 8/8 we were greeted by Dominic (sp.). He gave us a very thorough tour of the facilities. From that point on we felt right at home. When we visit Minneapolis again, we will stay at Erik's Retreat if there is room for us.

Pros:

We enjoyed our stay. It was a very quiet location with a very nice, large room. The only complaint would be a slower draining sink but it was minor. We will stay here again

Never again
Pros:

Absolutely not one of employe present, despite us arriving and departing during regular operating hours. Took a while to figure out how to open the door to the building. No one present to assist or answer the phone. Lobby is eerie and smells really musty -well we found a huge water bubble in the ceiling on day 1 that began leaking on day 2 everywhere-just found a bucket under it. No repairs being done. Elevator smelled like urine very strongly. Room was all white and beige felt like being in a sanitarium no pictures, no colors. White carpet! It was stained. Tiles in shower coming off, toilet leaked. No working AC-thankfully windows opened to air out the musty stale smell-it smelt like stale cigarettes from years past like great aunt betsy’s old apartment. Parking 1/2 block away -just weird and inconvenient. Would never stay again.

Pros:

We visited our son who is working in Edina. We chose Erik’s because I have a heart for their mission. We loved our stay! I think I had the best sleep in months, I was really tired though, we came from Georgia. Dominic was so professional and helpful. We will definitely stay again. No frills but I liked that.
