    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
