I have stayed at this property when it was previously a Courtyard by Marriott. Since the upgrade to become a Renaissance, they definitely did a great job with the interior. Defintely more luxurious than it was prior. The lobby isand the bar/lounge and restaurants off the lobby areand spacious. I wish the weather would have been...

I have spent over 50 nights at this hotel over the past year, so I figured it was time to write a review. This is one of my favorite Marriott properties, which is saying a lot considering that it doesn't have a beach. I am Platinum Elite with Marriott if that matters to you. Here's a summary of my experiences:...

We booked this hotel online for our first downtown experience. We stayed 2 nights and for the rate of $159 a night, received free underground parking (self park for $15 value), waterpark passes and breakfast buffet ($15 value per person) which we thought was a great deal! We traveled with 3 kids, 6, 9 and 11. The waterpark was well...

We love this place! This was our 5th year in a row that we've gone. It started with our now 7yr old son who has a passion for trains. We love the location, we love the waterpark, we love the staff, we love the breakfast buffet, we love the room, we love the underground parking, and we absolutely love that...

Everything was great! I have nothing negative to say about this place. I went there for a little getaway with my two young kids, my best friend who I hadn't seen in awhile, along with her 2 young kids. I work in a large hotel and this place just blew me away. We all had a great time and I...

Live in the area but have stayed here a few times with kids after purchasing the hotel/water park package found on the hotel's website. Each time our room has been clean, the beds are very comfortable and the linens aren't crappy. The service has always been good and at times great. The waterpark is good for young kids IMO, ages...

I had a bad experience all around however I must say my initial impression at valet was the only highlight of my experience. When I checked in the I asked the front desk if I had concierge lounge access and was told yes. I pulled my vehicle around back to self parking and the parking agents told me when I...

I stayed in the depot with three friends during a vacation. The rooms were clean and decent sized, the staff was friendly, there was always water to drink in the lobby, there was a business center with computers and free internet, and the buffet breakfast was great after a night out. The hotel wasn't in the heart of the downtown...

We held our wedding reception at The Depot. We came in from 3000 miles away and family and friends came in from several states to join us. The reception and room block were arranged by e-mail and a couple of phone calls. Since I was planning it from so far away, I tried to adjust my expectations that things might...

We stayed here for two nights for the Twin Cities Marathon and enjoyed it very much. We arrived exhausted and cranky after a 3-day drive from California. The staff was so welcoming, friendly and helpful that we were feeling back to our usual selves within minutes of our arrival. The check-in process was unbelievably fast, and our room was peaceful...
