Priceline Hotel: 3* Minneapolis-St. Paul (Downtown Minneapolis) The Marquette

[cytoguy]

My girlfriend's alma mater (Boston College) just made the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA tournament, so we're headed to Minneapolis for next weekend. I started bidding at $50 for a 3* in the Downtown zone, and raised $5 for each rebid until I got a counteroffer at $70 (to raise the bid $22). So, my next bid was $73, which was accepted. A bit more than the usual rate for the Marquette, but for a NCAA regional final weekend it's more than worth it to be only a mile from the Metrodome with less than a week in advance...and what sounds like one of the best hotels in downtown. We're happy :)

Anyone have any suggestions of must sees/dos in Minneapolis?? (we've obviously never been there) :o
