I had a really good experience at Courtyard By Marriott Minneapolis Downtown. The location was perfect for my needs, especially since it was close to the University of Minnesota Hospital. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, helping to make my stay more pleasant. However, I did find the bathrooms in the rooms to be quite small, which was a bit of a letdown given the spaciousness of the rest of the room.
