Really cool vibe and an amazing rain shower. Very friendly staff and awesome quirky amenities. Walkable to lots of good dining and entertainment options. Expect a rock and roll vibe, and this place is not for people who go to bed at 9pm and expect silence. The redesigned Lake Street and Hennepin are a disaster though, not sure who or why they designed that one lane/bus lane chaos or what they were even thinking. I feel really bad for the businesses there and it’s just too bad that this city deprioritized its businesses to such an extent. Expect traffic to be a big headache getting in and out of this neighborhood. It is designed to be upscale and dense, to be a magnet for visitors, but then has terrible access. Makes no sense at all and they should’ve taken better notes from bigger cities with more thriving neighborhoods. Plenty of parking once you get there, though.
