Minneapolis Marriott City Center

I was in Minneapolis for a couple of days before the 2008 Republican National Convention and wound up at this great property. The meeting I was attending was at the Radisson across the street but for less money. As a silver elite member they upgraded me to a bigger room and it was very nice. On a corner it had two window lines a couch, easy chair and work table with what I estimate was a 32" flat screen television.

Convenient to dining and shopping this property is a great choice when in Minneapolis though the neighborhood is one that I would avoid walking alone in after dark.

Minneapolis has a light rail that is just a few short blocks away and provides an inexpenisve and convenient way to get to the airport as long as you are traveling during operating hours.

With the rates tripling for the convention I felt that paying $127 a night was a bargain.
