When travelling on business into the corporate parks of suburbia you come to expect and accept the myriad of limited service hotels usually available. With this norm when I saw the Sofitel next to my first two days of appointments in the Minneapolis area I was excited. The hotel, however, while fine, did not live up to the brand expectations...

From the moment you enter the front door you are transported into an environment typical of an unmarket Parisian hotel. The greeting I received was warm and friendly, acknowledging that am a Club Member. Every effort was made to get me into a room, although I arrived earlier than the normal check-in time. The room was very comfortable and well... More

Beautiful facility, ample free parking, free wi-fi (altho you can pay extra for extreme bandwidth). Exceptionally well trained staff, bell men to front desk staff to housekeepers who seem to be really interested in assuring the guest has a satisfactory stay. No - really; they mean it. Whisper quiet room temp system. Spectacular lobby, too. We really enjoyed the morning... More

I stayed at the Sofitel for many reasons in Bloomington; location, price and curiosity. My experience with the front desk staff was that they were friendly and always pro-active making sure I was okay. The room was kept clean. The only thing I never succeeded in using was the coffee machine correctly. The beds are comfy, surrounded by pillows. One... More

when traveling on business in trhe twin cities, I always stay here. Everything is at a high level and feels new. it is a statement of the hotel quality to note that the only complaint i can level is that they do not have caffeine-free diet cokes.

I always enjoy staying at the Sofitel. Nice room, nice people, great workout room in the basement. We stayed for a busy convention. My only disappointment was that I specifically requested an extra rollout bed when I reserved my room online, but no one told me they were out of them until I called down and requested it. That would... More
