We had a great little overnight getaway for my husband's birthday with another couple. When we checked in, we were upgraded to a larger room due to my Marriott Elite status, and I mentioned that it was my husband's birthday. When we came back from dinner, there was a bottle of Prosecco on ice and a nice card from Daniel, the front desk staff member, wishing him a happy birthday. That was a very kind and personal touch. The hotel is centrally located near Nicolette Mall - lots of bars, restaurants, and shopping within walking distance. And there are bars/restaurants onsite as well. I would highly recommend staying at Hotel Ivy for your next trip to Minneapolis.
