미니애폴리스 인터내셔널 호스텔

The kitchen was spacious. The available dishes were minimal. The private room was cold.

They called me at about noon on the day I was arriving and wanted to know what time I would be checking in. I told them I’d be getting there about 6 PM and they said that was fine. All I had to do was call the number back, at check-in, if no one was in the office and someone would come get me a room key. Well, no one answered after calling about 5 times. It took me about an hour to find someone who worked there and could help me. Apparently my check in paperwork and key were sitting in a drawer in the entryway. If the person who called me earlier had bothered to tell me this, it would’ve saved me a lot of time and frustration, but whatever I guess that’s not their problem. The room was clean-ish (some sand/dirt on part of the floor) and the towels they provided were old but clean. No problem, right? I’m not expecting a 5-star hotel or anything. What I am expecting is to not leave with about two dozen bug bites when I wake up, because that happened. I should have checked the sheets before I went to sleep, but I was exhausted. Even if I had checked, and noticed something, whose attention was I gonna bring it to? It seems like the people who work there make themselves scarce on purpose. I get it, it’s a hostel not a luxury hotel. Still though, you can answer the phone when you told me to call and at least make sure your place isn’t crawling with bedbugs. That’s not a high bar to meet.

Its a beautiful building from the inside. I didnt see much from the in side but the lobby looked need . Sleeping in the basement and it still looks like people are fixing things. Doesnt look to me as finished

It was centrally located and easy to get to. A possibility for future stays.

Easy to book, loved the original woodwork and touches.
