Absolutely spectacular boutique hotel, 5 stars across the board. Staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful, the inn was beautifully appointed and clean, the restaurant and bar were top notch. I won’t stay anywhere else on my return trips to the Twin Cities!

I did not bring a pet with me. It seems this would be a good property to stay out with a pet. I was very comfortable during my stay here. The staff was very accommodating.

Had a wonderful stay at the Nicollet Island Inn. The location truly sets it apart — it’s incredibly quiet and peaceful, yet right in the middle of the city. Loved feeling tucked away on the river while still being just minutes from downtown Minneapolis. My room was comfortable and full of character, and the entire property has a warm, relaxing atmosphere that makes you feel at home right away. The restaurant was just as impressive. The food was very good — thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor — and the service was outstanding. Everyone I encountered was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming, quiet place in the heart of the city with excellent dining and great service.
