Ramada by Wyndham Minneapolis Golden Valley

This is a wonderful stopping spot when visiting the Twin Cities Metro area. Front desk personnel greeted me warmly and with respect, making me feel valued and appreciated. The check in process was smooth and efficient, as was check out the following morning. The room was clean, quiet, and spacious. The shower had excellent pressure and plenty of hot water. The king bed was firm and comfortable, and the internet was speedy and reliable. The hallway leading to my room was clean and clutter-free. Morning coffee was hot and plentiful. Because I was pressed for time, I did not visit the breakfast line. However, I will certainly do so on my next stay, because it looked and smelled delicious. The property is adjacent to a major interstate and near several dining and shopping options.

On good side, bed was comfortable enough, hotel is in a good location, there were luggage carts available, TV worked (but no TV guide, and information on each channel "unavailable"). Temperature was comfortable from water in shower.

Outdated loud wall heater/AC. At least windows could be opened though for air. Hot and stuffy in room. Very small micro fridge and only available in King bed room, not Queen. I had to upgrade and pay $7 for a fridge in King Bed room. Even worse, while in room and laying in bed trying to sleep, I saw right above the bed on the ceiling, a neon green light, flashing repeatedly over my bed, from the smoke alarm the hotel management decided to install there, making it very stressful, difficult to sleep along with ineffective AC and lack of a breeze outside coming in window. Also, saw police cruiser or two pull up near curb of hotel while there. Parking pavement needs improving. Pot holes. Very rough in spots

Overall quiet except for prevalent on and off slamming of other hotel doors by housekeeping and others, but less so than other hotels I've stayed at. No soundproofing. Could hear loud sounds of guests and housekeeping from above room and hallway. Like most hotels, quiet enjoyment of living space/hotel room seems not to be a priority. Lots of parking lot space open. Not many guests when I stayed, which is a plus. Shower temperature warm hot, but pressure was not very good. Low pressure -not comfortable/pleasurable. Someone opened up my hotel room door during my 2 night stay here, at 8 am in morning and then closed door before I could get out of bed (previously asleep) to investigate. Alarming. Obviously it was someone who had a card to access my room ...hotel staff I would think as I was the only guest in my room and had my hotel access card in room. Also, the pool was extremely warm. Not cool to lukewarm pool temperature in other pools. Way to warm for me to swim/enjoy. Felt like sauna in pool room as well -hot and stuffy. I didn't enter pool room for a sauna. Lastly, I had to spend about 40 minutes with hotel clerk checking in. First I was wrongly charged 2 nights, and booked only one night (the next day, deciding to book 2 nights). Then I was also overcharged (pending hold on my credit card) on paperwork for stay when she corrected this to one night. Rate what I booked (in confirmation email) was $15-20 less. So she cancelled and then I had to give a credit card a third time (2 dif charge mistakes) after she told me to go to front desk tomorrow if pending hold charge was not taken off. I found out the next week (1 week and more later)after leaving, charge still was on hold. I had to call hotel to fix this with Wyndham, twice within 3-4 day time frame. Finally pending hold did come off my card, which I am thankful for.

Nice, comfortable, friendly staff.

Breakfast was subpar.

Breakfast was excellent, nice variety provided. The staff was so friendly and kind and helpful with everything. I would recommend this stop for a good night sleep in a clean, comfortable room to anyone.

Price

Breakfast wasn't good. Thing that should of been hot, weren't. Eggs and sausage luke warm. Coffee very strong.
