Bid 3 * for University area. You need to add this one to your master list. Its called Aloft and its right next to the new viking stadium. This is a very different hotel. Its trendy and has techo music playing in the lobby and elevator lol. Very nice rooms though best shower ive experienced. Mounted tv with NFL Network. Great view of the new viking stadium. Only complaint is you have to pay to park and there isnt any kind of modern quick reasonably priced restaurants nearby ie chipotle, noodles and co, lean chin. Its in an older part of the city called the mill district. Its a decent price for the quality but im not crazy about the location. Its on the west bank of the river next to guthrie theatre.
