MN Minneapolis-St Paul Sheraton Minneapolis West

[andyk1001]

Hotel address: 12201 Ridgedale Drive, Minnetonka. This hotel is right across the street from the Ridgedale Center mall. Lots of restaurants and shopping within walking or easy driving distance. Nearest bus stop right across the street at the mall. We took the express city bus downtown from there, into downtown for the Twins game Sat afternoon, and cabbed it back to avoid the parking, traffic, and to enjoy some of the downtown nightlife Sat night after the game.

The hotel itself is very nice, although the layout is a bit odd. Walking into the lobby reminded me a bit of an Embassy Suites, as it was a "courtyard" style, where all the rooms were open to the middle. This hotel had 2 individual courtyards, one with the lobby and restaurant in it, and the other with the pool and hot tub in it. We were on the 1st floor King bed room in between the two courtyards. Overall the stay was pretty quiet while we were in our room (which I have to admit was very little during this Fri and Sat night stay). The only real noise I noticed was someone using the ice machine down the hall every once in awhile.

We used the pool/hot tub area the 1st night, and it was very adequate. Overall I would recommend this hotel if it seems to suit your needs.
