Can find very little about the hotel online - it’s site is barebones.
Canopy is in a historic building on the edge of the downtown area, closer to the Vikings (USBank) football stadium. I'd rank it lower overall than the Ivy, for example, which has generally been considered the top hotel in the Twin Cities. The Four Seasons is closer (easy walk) to the Twins ballpark than either the Ivy or Canopy. Canopy and Four Seasons are both close to the light rail line to/from MSP and MOA.
Personally I think it would be fun to try the Four Seasons if you can get a decent rate for the night you need, but please make a reservation ASAP if you want to have dinner there. However, I'd probably skip the game in favor of simply enjoying the hotel.
