"I chose to stay at the Foshay for the room view. In that regard it was everything I wanted & more. The suite was up 23 floors and there were only 4 rooms total on that whole floor. The walls seemed a little thin, but I played a loud DJ set from 10PM-2AM with no noise complaints. The art deco theme was nice. I like the art on the backwall and the marble table. The room was so spacious seriously the other downtown hotels don't even come close in size/price ( the Rand, Hilton, Mariott center, canopy). The restaurant connected to it (Manny's) had top notch food. The living room bar downstairs was upscale, and the food/drinks were looking sooooooo good. Don't do valet, it was only $20 a night to park across the street instead of the 60 per night for valet. During my 2 day stay nothing was stolen. I booked third party and the check in had some hiccups, but they were giving welcome tequila shots at the door so like that kinda balanced out. Also, free champagne sent up to the room lol not sure if that was for my bday or the check in discrepancy but either way the service was amazing. Thanks for being there Foshay"

"I had several thousand dollars worth of merchandise and prescription medication stolen from me at this location. Staff is useless about the matter which makes me believe this is some sort of scam. Plenty of classier establishments available in this city."

"If you are any of the following: a global traveler within Corporate America the last 20 plus years who has stayed in many, many hotels, volleyball mom or dad, still goes out to have a drink and listen to music, likes great food (I’m from Chicago so my palate has seen the best-LOL ), and a 4 out of 5 hotel snob, then this review is for YOU. We were there for a volleyball tournament a couple of weeks ago and everything was super - the rooms are big and modern, great downtown location, Manny’s Steakhouse in the lobby, drinks were fantastic, and Fri/Sat night a DJ in the Living Room lobby. Staff was great, check in check out smooth, and honestly one of the more pleasant weekends I’ve had traveling in a long time considering we were at the Convention Center for volleyball all weekend. If you are traveling to Minneapolis and you fit one of the above descriptions then this hotel is for you. Trust me."

"I sent the below email to the Director of Operations, Saturday night (14 Feb). On Sunday AM when I checked out, I asked for the Manager working to connect with me, either via phone call or email. Neither have responded. "Hello Mr. Allen Today was such a big fail tonight at this hotel. As we checked in, we observed our room was unreasonably hot. We turned down the thermostat and even turned off the climate control. For hours. It was still unreasonably hot Our room will not get below 77F. We had engineering visit the room and they recommended to turn off the heat. Which is what we had tried. Front desk said the heat is on in the winter, which is lame considering we've been here before on the winter. Worst room ever here. It was still hot after the engineer told us to turn off the climate control. We asked for a fan to be brought up. It took over 45 minutes. Now we have a noisy fan to cool us down in an unreasonably hot room. After 3 more hours it's still 77F according to the room thermostat. I asked twice for a new room. I was told you were sold out and the front desk wanted to keep us in the room. Horrible service. Epic fail. I will be sharing my feedback with the front desk tomorrow AM and sharing my feedback with the manager available then. Your team could have done better today and three times your staff failed. We've been here probably 10 times. I'm a huge Marriott fan as a lifetime platinum. Today, your hotel failed. If this is the best you could do, seriously, worst experience here at the W, ever.""

"Beautiful, historic building. The lobby is on the smaller side with a bar and restaurant taking up most of the first floor space but it is lovely. We were treated promptly and found out that we had been upgraded to a larger suite - we had booked the Fantastic Suite and got to stay on the 24th floor in the Magnificent Suite. It is very large. Sadly, the couch wasn't very comfortable, but it looks amazing. The view is incredible. The bathroom was large and luxurious. The robes were a little stiff rather than soft. The black-out blinds were wonderful for sleeping in. We could hear some sirens but didn't hear any other noise. The mattress was very comfortable. We didn't want to pay $60 for valet parking so we used the garage. Sadly, the interior connection is closed, so you do have to walk outside for about 20 feet if you do that. It saved about $40 so we thought it was worth it. We enjoyed going up to the observatory, which actually has an open balcony. The speakeasy was really busy so we didn't stay but looked fun."
