That's it. Prior to being associated with Kimpton, it was an independent hotel. I worked there as Night Manager during the soft opening. The historic building originally was the Minneapolis Athletic Club. The place got gutted and rebuilt as a hotel. It's not quite a "no two rooms are the same" situation, but close. Some rooms are huge and other tiny.

I can't comment on the current hotel, as it's clearly been renovated since I worked there. I can, however, provide some insight into the building itself. Take a look at this Google Maps satellite image:

There are a number of rooms on the north side of the hotel (left side of the image) that at look directly into the office tower a few feet away. You can literally see office workers in their cubicles from those rooms. Those rooms are super quiet, but have next to no natural light.

There are also rooms facing a tiny atrium. In the above image, you can see two tiny skylights on the lower section of roof. That's an atrium of which a small number of rooms face. Here's a Trip Advisor photo showing just how tiny that atrium is and how close you are to guest rooms on the other side.

That said, the outside-facing rooms were quite nice, especially the ones on the front of the hotel on the corner looking south.
