Rennaisance Depot Minneapolis

This is a hotel I wanted to visit for years, but the rates were never in the ballpark to do a casual stay, until last winter. Plus I had nightly upgrade awards to burn, which cleared, so it was on! My trip to the train inspired Rennaisance Depot

Arrival

I walked from the previous hotel, doing my bags in a series of trips. It's a little off the downtown area, so it was a walk.

Amenities

The hotel has a gym, a pool and a market place that you can buy.

Dining

Milwaukee Road is the Bar and Restaurant, and they are substantial.

Each suite is named after somewhere on the line Train stuff is everywhere Cardio again... Weights, very few resistance machines Snowy after I arrived Get some snacks when everything else is closed Very cool train items Come dine with me Real food, not just small sampling Standard type seating Breakfast buffet! Lets get to it Multi eggs type, and you can order custom Looks like every mark of food types checked off Day 1, the standard fare Custom eggs day 2 Bar seating area which is better than a lot of hotels The very ornate bar I had to have lunch there too And well, do you think I'd go without wings?

Summary

A cool, fairly fancy, very train like place with lots of event space too. So many unique suites, well, maybe someday I'll get them all.

Good food, the bar is quite solid too. It was a nice place, usually has a higher rate than other properties of the same level in town.
