      Need a hotel?

      Minneapolis, St. Paul, or areas just outside the Cities all have great hotel options for a range of prices. Check out Airbnb, as well. We recommend…

      • In Minneapolis: Aloft, Westin Hotel, and Hilton Garden Inn

      Some prefer St. Paul,  which is a bit slower but with less restaurants and earlier evening closures.

      • In St. Paul: Embassy Suites
      • Outside the city: Country Inn and Suites in Roseville
      Minneapolis Hotels
      St. Paul Hotels

      Things to do.
