I have never been to a hotel that offers such a luxurious experience without the staff being snooty or rude. It's the sort of place where you feel comfortable walking around in a fancy outfit, but the service is always friendly and nice. They do an excellent job of walking the line between high-end business travelers and those that are just looking for a luxury weekend. My fiance and I have gone here twice -- once when we were attending a political event in the building and again for the weekend of my birthday. On both occasions, we were continually surprised by the level of service that we felt from every member of the staff. They did such a wonderful job of making our stay pleasant while also staying out of the way. We called down for the car and went out to dinner -- when we came back there was classical music playing on the radio, a full ice bucket, and fresh towels. They had already made up the bed earlier in the day, but the bed linens were straigtened and the pillows were fluffed. It was like elves had been in our room and made things just perfect for us! The food and alcohol in their restaurants is superb -- and my fiance is the most particular person when it comes to high-quality, fresh food. The room service involves a full table being brought to your room. They offer you your choice of pillow type and they even have the memory foam ones for your neck. The towels are warm and fresh and the toiletries are ones that I would actually USE. It really is a wonderful place. You feel SO comfortable and relaxed there.

I feel like I'm in wonderland when I stay at this hotel. Something about it is magic. I love to travel and maybe I feel this way because it's so above anything Minneapolis has to offer. Room is always perfect and clean. You can tell now it's not ""brand New"" anymore. But the bed is the most comfortable you'll ever sleep in. Staff are awesome. Something was goofy with our TV, we called, someone came up within 5 minutes and after reboot it worked perfect. Room service and food were perfect!! Fast. The only thing I'd change is it took 30 minutes to get our car from valet. The hotel was sold out - but they should've staffed for valet.

The 601 Graves Hotel: A sterile, dark, and silent hotel

On paper, this hotel sounds great: located in Block E, lots of art, huge TV in all the rooms, very cutting edge. Unfortunately when you view it in person, the experience resembles a grave! It is very dark in the main lobby and the reservations desk. Even the bar/lounge had all the windows covered. Staff only speak if spoken to first and even on a busy Fourth of July weekend, the place was silent as a tomb! The room was clean but had a real sterile feel to it. To sum up, if you like a welcoming, exciting, and fun hotel, stay away from the Graves!

This is the rudest hotel in Minnesota!!!

I stayed overnight before a business meeting. The room was paid for by the company with which I was meeting. I turned down an additional night in the hotel, because the staff is so incredibly rude!!. After entering from the street, there was no registration desk. I had to find the concierge to find out how to even get into the hotel - up the elevator to the 4th floor (no sign, or friendly instruction). When I mentioned to the front desk that it is unwelcoming to have no sign or help finding the front desk, she looked at me like I was stupid. The room was very nicely furnished, but a little strange. The ventillation system was very noisy. Also, the bathroom has a television, but no bathtub! The final straw was lunch at the end of my meeting. A blizzard had started about two hours before my meeting was over, and our hostess offered to send us with "to go" lunch. When I asked the hotel food services assistant for a "to go" box, she told me "we don't do that." Indeed, the hotel won't provide this service, even before a severe winter storm. If you want to be treated very badly, come to the Graves 601 Hotel. You will not be disappointed. If you want to be welcomed, and treated like a guest, go somewhere else!

Hotel was sooo easy to get to from the airport (light rail drops you off 1 block away). 4th floor Check in is easy and simple using Travelagent.. it's all pre paid. Be sure to notice the moving sculpture behind the front desk of antlers which look like undulating snakes. (it's neat not creepy). The decor of the lobby and lounge is very dark and very cleanly modern with back lighting, and zebra wood paneling. The hotel rooms are bright and inviting in blond wood, and light green accents. Beautiful bed linens and a nifty bathroom with an extra large shower. Loved the Hermes soap!
Breakfast was pricy but innovative. Be sure to have the real fresh squeezed orange juice. yum or the oat meal Brule'
Room service was typical in price but a large portion and wonderful in terms of innovative cuisine.
I would stay there again when ever I was in town.
