Skip the Eggs Benedict. It’s made with pancetta, and the saltiness overwhelms the hollandaise, which was bland and a little gloppy to begin with. I wouldn’t have left this mediocre google review, had one of the four staff members behind the bar (where I sat) asked, at any point, how my breakfast tasted. $36.72 including $5 tip, tax, and “wellness fee”for eggs Benedict, coffee in a paper cup, and water. Fortunately there are plenty of breakfast options downtown!

Went there for breakfast. Unfortunately the bar was open during my stay but breakfast was served there. Typical grab and go stuff but the hot breakfast item they did have was amazing and really good value. I was stuffed after eating that breakfast

Great happy hour starting at 3 pm! Gorgeous interior in the historic Rand Tower!Delicious drinks, both nonalcoholic and (strong) alcoholic drinks. I had the Nymphea, yum! ?The oysters were good! Really good French fries too!! The beef tartar was ok, it’s worth trying.Overall this is a great place that more people should go to!
Parking: This is downtown Minneapolis, so there are pay parking ramps all around and pay street parking spots.
Kid-friendliness: I don’t know I’d bring my kids here, it’s more of an adult cocktail lounge.

A great stop for a quality classic cocktail, not terrible pricing for a hotel bar. The mixologists are well trained, knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely be back the next time we're in town.

Beautiful, luxurious space with limited bar menu. Pricey and I wasn't crazy about their food menu, but you're paying for the ambiance, which is lovely.

We went during Grandma’s, so this review is just based on that. The server was really great, but seemed over-stretched. They service was pretty quick at first, but then really slowed before we got our food, and it felt like almost triple the time to get the main course out. The food was ok, but again probably just busy, and understandably so. Would probably go back to try another time, if we make it back up before Grandma’s race.

Jeremiah was the MAN, we were trying to find somewhere to kill time while our wife's were at a concert. This was one of the only places open, and it was well worth it. We made friends with our bartender Jeremiah, and it was a great time. I would make sure to check out the gorgeous atmosphere and great service.

Not a great spot for groups but looked nice for a date or double date.I got the blondette burger and it was the most raw/pink burger I’ve had in my life. I told the server I was pregnant too (NOT supposed to eat undercooked/raw meat) and wish I had asked for it to be taken back and cooked. Classy establishment otherwise. The mussels and French fries were a hit across the board.

Had such a great time here, I ended up coming for a second night in a row so I could bring my coworker. Drinks are outstanding, particularly the really impressive Martini presentation, some of the best oysters I've ever had, and Jordan is a super fun bartender who makes you feel welcomed and engaged, and who has great recommendations for whatever else you're looking for in the area.
We arrived early for check in and while waiting, I chatted it up with Gabi V at the front desk. She was full or great suggestions on things to do and see here in Minneapolis. She was so sweet and helpful, I felt like I had met her through a friend! Location was perfect to walk to so many things. Our room was gorgeous. The bed was super comfy and I’d love to smuggle a pillow home with me. For sure I’d stay here again and recommend to my friends.

The Hotel, exceeds hospitality, starting with exceptional Front Desk Staff. Naimo, Gabi and Eddie the hotel attendant is rock solid professional. The Room was huge and CLEAN had everything I needed for 2 day hiatus visiting clientele. the only issue at all is the restaurant group not affiliated has incorrect hours on google. Making it annoying and confuses the hard working staff (hotel) the restaurant (another review ) is overstaffed and overpriced. However that is not the hotel's issue. I loved the lemon orange infused water saving me from dehydration, the gym s wonderful hello Pelaton bike. Location and parking easy! Love the hotel very much.

Rand Tower hotel was an immaculate Marriott property. The staff was very accommodating and professional. As a Marriott Ambassador I avg close to 200 nights per year in Marriott properties around the world. This stay was especially unique thanks to my interactions with Ms. Gabi V, the front desk manager. Gabi and her team delivered the star ? studded Marriott Ambassador level service I always dream about

Hotel location is good. Room was ok, stylish but not too comfortable. The heat vent was very loud and stayed loud the whole stay. Elevator access is a little tricky in this office b uilding. Unfortunately, service at the hotel was very spotty, rude check-in experience, staff made mistakes and did not want to correct or accommodate. We had to call the Marriott customer service to file a report to get things fixed. We used points and paid for one night. The hotel insisted on charging fees for the night with points - this was wrong but the staff was righteous and not friendly. Very sorry - will not be going back to stay there for any reason. Very difficult to offload on busy street.

Two bed room: One bed had a horrible brownish large stain on the comforter that went through to the sheet below. The 2nd bed had women’s hair under the comforter. The hotel is now avoiding making it right. I was told a manager would call the day of checkout and I have yet to get a call 3 days later. I would not recommend staying here. There are far better options downtown Minneapolis.
