Crowne Plaza Minneapolis Northstar Downtown

What is your Priority Club status?
Platinum.

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes, very much.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked King Deluxe. Upgraded to corner King Feature room on 16th floor.

How are the rooms?
Very spacious and bright. Pleasing modern decor. Smartly designed.

How is the exec. lounge?
Loud and busy the only night I could use it (closed on Sundays). Normally has great food options from 5-8pm; was hoarded by a frat bachelor stag party who emptied everything before 6pm.

What was good and what was bad?

Good
+Smooth check-in
+Ultra-comfortable beds/pillows
+Stylish room
+Massive LCD TV with great channel selection, mostly in HD
+Comfortable ottoman
+A1 quality Templespa toiletries
+Good shower pressure and heat
+Attractive small bar downstairs with excellent food
+Close to everything, two blocks from light rail, a safe 10-minute walk to Target Field, close to beautiful Nicollet St. with charming shops and patios

Bad
-Lounge overtaken by obnoxious hillbilly frat boys; likely same clowns were pumping loud bass through the floors; staff were professional and accommodating when I explained the situation
-No fridge or microwave in room despite empty cabinets under TV

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Anything under $200 in the summer at this CP is very reasonable. Rates can vary greatly here, and it sells out most nights.
