Thank you so much for bringing to our attention the issue with your car. Just to clarify the parking garage is owned and operated by the City of Minneapolis and their outside contractor. Yes the hotel is located above the garage and guests are allowed to charge parking to their room. However none of the employees or parking revenues are shared with the hotel. I am so sorry to hear of this incident. We have a great working relationship with the City of Minneapolis and their parking contractor and we as well will voice our displeasure with how their employee handled your situation. Rest assured this is a very unusual circumstance and again offer our apologies.

“People that lack taste and a life of their own should try to venture out into the real world instead of hiding behind a computer spewing meaningless factless verbiage.”
“Prove the date of your stay because such an incident has never been recorded in the archives of our Hotel. We regret that some customers spoil the time by writing negative comments for Hotels.”
But not this way…

Business Listings Testimonials
“Business Listings has been fantastic; now people know exactly where to reach us. Our business has increased by 50% -- so much that it’s almost impossible to keep up with the calls and emails. We’re referring 20-30 people each day to other properties. We think Business Listings are an exceptional value for the money.”
