Priceline Hotel: Midtown Minneapolis?

[coffeelaker]

was perusing for a possible purchase when i noticed a new area for minneapolis - Midtown. The map shows its an area from 19th st E (south of 94), runs east and west of 35W, but north of 33rd st E. I had no idea there were any hotels in that area. The area would inclued Abbot Northwestern Hospital. Does anybody else know what is around there?

Based on the Priceline map, the 3 star has almost got to be the Sheraton Midtown. It's not in the best part of town (though not the worst, either) - but it is right next to the Global Exchange, a sort of global marketplace with eateries staffed by immigrants from just about every country on the planet. It also offers good proximity to downtown for those with a car, so it might be a cheap alternative on those rare days when downtown is booked up due to conventiongoers.

If there's another hotel in Midtown zone that could possibly compete for the 3-star rating, I'm not aware of it.

I agree with minnmedia - the Sheridan Midtown is probably the only 3*. If you *need* to be in that area for some reason, it might be ok, but if you don't need to be there I would stay in a different part of town. If you need to be by Abbott Northwestern you would be about 3 blocks away.

Other than the Sheraton I can't think of another hotel with ANY rating inside the Midtown zone's boundaries.

Priceline offers 3*, 2.5*, and 2* bidding in the Midtown zone though. This seems to be another instance of Priceline allowing bidding for options it doesn't really have.
