Recurring downsides include an underwhelming continental breakfast, aging mattresses, and HVAC or shower temperature control problems. Several reviewers also mentioned surprise historic fees at checkout. Expect a characterful, quiet stay with personable service in a historic inn.

It was like stepping back in time. Rooms were nice and quiet. Within walking distance of a lot of stuff including downtown Minneapolis. Breakfast was kind of sad. Muffins were cold like taken of freezer recently. Not real good to be honest. Bed was awesome. Overall I would stay here again.

Nicollet Island Inn offers a charming and quaint experience, steeped in nostalgia with its vintage furniture and classic style. The staff were consistently friendly and responsive, ensuring a pleasant stay. The inn is impressively clean, which was a standout feature. However, I found the continental breakfast quite underwhelming—just coffee, a few muffins, and a couple of apples, leaving much to be desired. For remote workers, this may not be the ideal spot, as the internet speed was painfully slow and unreliable. Additionally, the on-site restaurant was closed on both Monday and Tuesday during my stay, which was disappointing. While it has its charm, there are definitely areas for improvement.

Great location- but nothing much open on a Monday. Love the free parking and the natural setting right in town. Very few people in the hotel during my 2 nights but somehow managed to get a room directly across from another guest, so there was some hallway noise that could have been avoided.

A unique location that feels outside the city, but is a 20 min. walk to downtown. It's surrounded by nature and the hotel itself is lovely and looks like something out of a novel. The inside of the hotel shares the same rustic feeling on the main floor. Our room was clean overall but the tub and bathroom were kind of grungy. The room also lacked a fridge. The continental breakfast was fairly lackluster, though appreciated for something quick before checkout, with fruit, yogurt and muffins as your options. The staff overall was pleasant and there was plenty of parking.

I had a lovely 4 night stay. The room was lovely. Next time I will request a river view! The room was comfortable, but a little noisy. I don't know if it was the HVAC or what but it ran constantly. I had to call the front desk to regulate the temperature of the room, but they were very responsive.

The staff were gracious. This hotel needs a serious refreshing. Probably still circa 1982 when it opened. no in room control of the air conditioning which at the warmest level was freezing. AC Fan particularly noisy never stopped. Bathroom fan would spontaneously turn itself on and could not be turned off. Shower soap dispensers fell apart. Rooms tired and worn. initially had a “superior corner room” and windows opened up onto two large industrial kitchen vents (food smell). Moved to a “lesser room“ ; inn kept the full superior pricing. Windows had to be propped open (old rotted frames). Hotel “ran out” of bottled water, we had to find on our own. Great location, clean linens, nice staff, charming historic building that has not been refreshed this century. Not value for money.

We love the location and the quaintness of the hotel. However our room was freezing and there wasn't any way to turn down the air-conditioning. For the price, which included an extra fee since it was on the historic register, I wish the room had been more comfortable. I think we will choose a different place in the future.

The hotel is historic and thus has some charm. The bed felt old. The shower head is also historic. Nice shower heads are $59 at Home Depot, so really no excuse to have an old shower head that makes for a less pleasant shower experience.

We love the location and the quaintness of the hotel. However our room was freezing and there wasn't any way to turn down the air-conditioning. For the price, which included an extra fee since it was on the historic register, I wish the room had been more comfortable. I think we will choose a different place in the future.

Great location- but nothing much open on a Monday. Love the free parking and the natural setting right in town. Very few people in the hotel during my 2 nights but somehow managed to get a room directly across from another guest, so there was some hallway noise that could have been avoided.

A unique location that feels outside the city, but is a 20 min. walk to downtown. It's surrounded by nature and the hotel itself is lovely and looks like something out of a novel. The inside of the hotel shares the same rustic feeling on the main floor. Our room was clean overall but the tub and bathroom were kind of grungy. The room also lacked a fridge. The continental breakfast was fairly lackluster, though appreciated for something quick before checkout, with fruit, yogurt and muffins as your options. The staff overall was pleasant and there was plenty of parking.

We had a wonderful time. Food was excellent. Room was beautiful. Very quiet n almost boutique like. Beautiful views. Giving a 4 because of a few small issues but nothing that would prevent us from coming back.

Staff were friendly and attentive. Location is a lovely quiet area easily walkable to a number of cafes and restaurants. The hotel restaurant has a dog friendly patio. The food and drinks were tasty and service was great. The room was clean and well kept with a romantic historic feel.

Nicollet Island Inn offers a charming and quaint experience, steeped in nostalgia with its vintage furniture and classic style. The staff were consistently friendly and responsive, ensuring a pleasant stay. The inn is impressively clean, which was a standout feature. However, I found the continental breakfast quite underwhelming—just coffee, a few muffins, and a couple of apples, leaving much to be desired. For remote workers, this may not be the ideal spot, as the internet speed was painfully slow and unreliable. Additionally, the on-site restaurant was closed on both Monday and Tuesday during my stay, which was disappointing. While it has its charm, there are definitely areas for improvement.

The hotel was beautiful, very cool atmosphere! Loved having the bar and restaurant right there, delicious food. The room was very accommodating and the bed super comfy. It was nice having coffee ready on our floor and the muffins hit the spot. We would definitely stay again :)

Cool old hotel. No refrigerator in the room. Weak breakfast, Basically muffins and hot pot coffee with plastic bottled cheap OJ. The restaurant is supposed to be very highly rated but was not open for breakfast and maybe not till dinner. Great location in a quiet spot. Id stay there again for 200 bucks or below but no more than that

This is a wonderful hotel. Beautiful historic hotel that is well maintained for its age. Friendly helpful staff, safe surroundings, great location close to lots of bars, restaurants, and river walks. Highly recommend the restaurant onsite as well.
