From the outside, the Snelling makes the Bates Motel look like Disneyland. But actually I am completely satisfied with what I got for what I paid. The room was clean and spacious enough. The bathroom was clean and adequately stocked and the shower worked. There was a fridge and some complimentary bottled water. The office staff is very friendly. My only complaint is a small one, that the in-room HVAC unit is quite loud. But I got used to it. I came to Minneapolis to visit my daughter who lives 10 minutes away, and all I needed was a place to sleep. I would gladly stay here again, and probably will.

Very Convenient for us as we were able to use the Metro transit for everything.

This hotel is undergoing new renovations and my room was fantastic, everything new from the bathroom to the new windows, carpet and all new furniture.
this was an excellent choice for my trip to Fort Snelling.

Never been to Minnesota before but stayed here so I could take the train to the mall or America and the twins game. It was clean, safe, close to the train stations, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely staying here if I end up back in the twin cities!

Check in was easy and the hotel is right on the Blue line, so we could easily get to various points around the city, including the airport, with a $4 all-day pass.

Property is next to rail tracks, is on a street split by the tracks (you can’t cross them) so if you’re not on hotels side oof the street, good luck getting there.
Arriving in the evening, we found the next morning that the refrigerator was warm. Management told us of course we had to turn the refrigerator on. No mention of that anywhere
Bed was comfortable, floors squeaky. Average stay.

I chose this place because it was just down the road from the boy scout Base Camp where my son's troop was for the night. The staff member that checked us in was super nice. Property seemed old and could have used some updates in the rooms for sure. Didn't like that there was no lock on the room door besides the key card entry lock. There was a dead bolt type lock, but it didn't line up so I was unable to use it, which made me feel a little unsafe. My daughter tried to take a shower but after waiting for the water to get hot, it was still luke warm after 10 minutes. The fridge, coffee maker, and tv worked fine. Didn't try the microwave. I don't think there was an ice machine, but I didn't feel comfortable looking around the property for one, and no type of breakfast or anything. The light rail track was on the road in front of the building, so that was a little loud. Overall, it served its purpose, but I'm not sure if I'd stay there again.

This property is better than expected, even if those expectations are low. This motel is now called the Snelling Lodge, so don't get too confused when you're looking this up on the internet or your maps.
I was greeted by a kind gentleman on the phone and at the check-in desk. The overnight stay was quiet and comfortable and I slept soundly.

I like what Sanjay and his family are doing with the place and I want to support them, but I cannot deal with all the strange people working on their cars in the parking lot and hanging around in front of their rooms, staring at you. They need to make rules about what you can do in the parking lot and shoo away people "living" there on a daily basis. It could be a real gem then.

The worst customer service experience with lady that we emcountered in to after a long drive late night. She was so unprofessional and insulting in many ways . And told us to leave the premises when we asked about there policies. Because that was never mentioned on the site on hotels.com anywhere that you cant have three guests in a double bed room . I have been booking with hotels.com for a while now and never had a worst experience ever? Even if we were willing to understand the situation the lady kept disrespecting us and attempeted to scare us off by saying " i am calling the police" as if were criminals that we would budge. Over all i dont recommend for any one one to saty in this hotel. I am still puzzled how the state still haven't revoked their licenses.

This place was pretty run down and not in a great area . Though the room itself was pretty clean it was below average in terms of updates. It appeared this property might have been a long term resident for veterans. I was concerned for safety and requested a second floor room and was concerned about my car in the parking lot. There were no issues but I would not recommend this for a business or family traveler or a single traveler. There was nothing around the property in terms of restaurants or stores. I was glad I bought a salad at the airport and had that for dinner

Got to the place and was a little scared to go in. Not the greatest. Looks like doing remodeling. No heat in halls and no elevator. But had room 36 with king bed. Room was very comfortable. We were on the side of the building so the sound of the commuter trains didn't bother us. Convenient right next to VA. Room was very clean.

Easy to check in and drop my key at the end of my stay, clean, spacious, secure, and incredibly well located by a light rail station just two stops from the airport.

As we checked-in, the police were evicting a customer. Check in behind security plexiglass. Hallway to room strewn with remodel materials. Room was dirty and poorly kept (except sheets & bedding were clean). Charged extra for 2nd adult and only provided two towels. Few outlets in the room. Carpeting so dirty my feet were filthy stepping into shower. I could hear light rail all night. I've stayed in better cheaper hotels, this one wasn't cheap. Couldn't wait to check out.

Decent hotel. Nothing fancy. VERY close to light rail and a 15 ride to downtown. They look they are making updates so it will improve the overall quality of the property in time.
