Moxy Minneapolis Downtown is the smart budget pick for travellers who would rather spend on food, shows and attractions than on a room. It is part of Marriott’s Moxy brand, which swaps the formal lobby for a social, playful space: you check in at Bar Moxy, the lively central bar, and receive a complimentary signature cocktail along with your key. Rooms are compact and cleverly designed rather than spacious, with comfortable beds and fast, free Wi-Fi, and the whole hotel has a young, upbeat feel. The location is a strong selling point. It sits in Downtown East, right across the street from U.S. Bank Stadium, so it is ideal for game days and concerts, and Gold Medal Park, the Guthrie Theater, Mill City Museum and the Stone Arch Bridge are all a short walk away. The light rail stops steps from the door, connecting you to downtown, the airport and Mall of America without a car. There is a 24-hour fitness centre, and the hotel accepts one pet per room for a fee. It suits younger travellers, friends on a weekend away, sports and concert fans and anyone watching their budget.
Location and getting around: the hotel is at 247 Chicago Avenue South, in Downtown East across from U.S. Bank Stadium. The light rail station is steps away, with direct trains to the airport and Mall of America in one direction and through downtown in the other. Gold Medal Park, the Guthrie Theater, Mill City Museum and the Stone Arch Bridge are all within walking distance, which makes it a great base for the riverfront.
Rooms: rooms are compact and efficient, designed for sleeping and getting out to explore rather than lounging. Expect a comfortable bed, smart storage and a good shower rather than lots of space.
Who it suits: budget-minded travellers, young couples, friends on a weekend away and sports and concert fans heading to the stadium.
Good to know: on-site self-parking is charged daily with in and out privileges, and an off-site ramp is nearby. One pet per room is allowed, up to 30 pounds, for a nightly fee. On stadium event days the area is busy and prices rise, so book early if your dates clash with a big game or concert.
