Erik's Retreat will now be my go to stay when in Minneapolis. What a top notch experience!!!

very elegant clean and new with lovely helpful staff. definitely would return!

This is a charming, clean, comfortable and unique place to stay. Not your cookie cutter hotel. I loved it.

Even though we only stayed one night, the resort was very nice!! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable! It was our first trip to MN, after being in the car for almost 9 hours, we definitely enjoyed our stay!

The person at the front desk was so friendly and helpful! The room was great - spacious, beautifully redone. The homemade treats were great touch. The temp of the room was WARM. The air was on but even at the lowest setting it was well over 70 degrees. The bathroom floor wasn’t very clean, so I just wore slippers.

Nice, clean, and easy entry. Parking is very inconvenient. It would have been nice to be informed of the road construction. The AC did not work, our room was close to 80 degrees. Never got a response to my email, even though the property said we could contact them by email. All that being said, I would consider staying again.

This is not a hotel; it’s an air b&b that has hotel-like rooms in an apartment building. There is no staff on site, at least outside of office hours. The air conditioning was not working in the building so after two 80 degree days everywhere in the building was hot and stuffy. The windows do open but the building is next to the freeway so noisy. Know that the property refunded me for my stay and here’s why: parking is available but a block away and during our stay, road construction had taken out the sidewalks so I had to walk through mud and uneven ground. They are not in control of roadwork but they did not warn us of this problem. Navigating to the building before 6 pm and after 9 am was not possible by car due to road closure. Luckily after 6, the construction folks left and opened the road so I could get to the building to drop off so my handicapped husband. I asked about accessibility and was told there were grab bars in the shower but there are not. Additionally when I called to get help navigating and knowing where to park, there was only voicemail. I was able to get someone via text fairly quickly.

Large suite, good bed, quiet. TV small. A microwave would be nice. Couldn't find any stir sticks. Loved the shower. Sink stopper leaked a bit. Would have tried the snacks but for the presence of nuts. Enjoyed our stay. Ideal location for us as it is near our daughter's home.

So Convenient. We spent our anniversary there and felt like we had the place to ourselves. Beautiful building. Lovely owner and staff. Highly recommend staying there.

We really like the spacious 2 bedroom suite. The beds were ok maybe a little soft for our liking but comfy!! The building is very cool. We only had a problem with locking our door to leave but my text was answered quickly and we were on our way! There was street parking available right in front so that wasn’t an issue. I would definitely book here again.

Communication with room preparation needs to be communicated.

I liked the property very much, we'll be back.

The room was nice. The bathroom was spacious and there were handmade complimentary treats. There was no lobby or any person to check us in. It was fine, they sent us a very detailed letter explaining how to get in, where to park, and how to access our room. The only minor crtique i could make was there was not an ice machine. We were told there would be ice in the mini-fridge, but there was not. I received an email asking if we got checked in ok, i mentioned the no ice thing, bit never heard back. Truly not a game changer, but it would have been nice to get some type of response. We would absolutely stay there again. Thank you Erik's Retreat.

We were in town for a concert and went to the Mall of America. The hotel was close to everything, which was great. Everything was super clean, safe and quiet! Excellent stay!

I love supporting Erik's retreat and mission, and am happy to take a small step down in terms of ammenities that you might enjoy at a national chain in order to support a local business with a fabulous mission. Plus, I loved the free brownies!

Excellent!

Good information and contact prior to check-in. Clean and quiet room.

We never saw a person for check in or out, a bit strange, pleasant place to stay!

The property was very convenient and roomy. The unfortunate thing is the mattress was terrible, drooping to the middle. We were so tired that we fell asleep anyway, but with all the positives this has... a bad mattress is a deal-breaker consideration for future bookings.

We really enjoy the stay in Erik’s Retreat. The room is clean and quiet. We were a bit concerned about the airplane noise mentioned in some comments, but we can barely hear the airplane… Check in instructions are very clear, and no unnecessary social encounter with staffs at all. Great stay overall! Will definitely come back again when we are in the area.

This was our second visit to Erik's Retreat. The check in process is seamless as it is all done virtually. Room was spacious, clean and well organized. Plenty of bath toiletries available. Keurig coffee in the morning with brownies and cookies for a donation if you wish. We love the concept of this property and will return again!

Easy access.

Nice room but AC didnt work.

I loved the flowers, immaculate garden areas and lawn! Appreciated the ample supply of towels and supplies and how tidy and clean everything was. It was a beautiful quiet place with the exception of noise from air traffic which we got used to easily enough. The history of the building and the decor was great too. A nice lady next door assisted us with entry into the front door, just had a little confusion about it. Everything worked as it should though, thank you!

Nice quiet property.

Absolutely perfect hotel ! We felt like we had a private apartment for the night….super clean and quiet - exactly what we were after…and the fact that we were helping out a cause at the same time - slam dunk. Bravo to the team there - you are doing a great job!

Erik’s Retreat was close to our family so we went for it. We were pleased with the mission of the hotel and pleasantly surprised by the impeccable marble bathroom and the meticulous order of our room. The staff were helpful and personable. We’ll stay here again without a doubt!!

Large room. Very clean. Thank you for the roll of paper towels. I just needed a couple for a small spill. But very glad they were there.

I booked my room as a 2-day respite while the floors in my home were being refinished. I was delighted to be treated to a large room well-appointed. I arrived after work the first day and was able to rest. I worked in my room quietly all day the second day in pleasant surroundings with a view of their beautiful yard.

Solid place

We liked this property for its good price and convenient location for us while we were in the cities. That being said the lobby although beautiful, smells like stale cigarette smoke. Our room smelled much better than that and it was clean. It did have peeling wallpaper and the AC could not keep up with the summer heat so we ended up buying a fan at a nearby Target. Oddly enough the hallways were cooler than our room. Communication with the hosts was good. Instructions about the property beforehand was good. It’s just an old building that could use a good updating. It is in a quiet neighborhood.

Other than being a little warmer than we like to sleep in, it was a really nice place to stay at. We had a very clean and spacious room in a clean friendly neighborhood. We would stay there again.
