United States
Trendy hotel for budget travellers. Designy, but not expensive. Cool location, just round the corner from the excellent Guthrie Theater. Friendly staff, but really the design's the star.
Metrodome station, 2 stops from down-town. 900 Washington Av South. 2 blocks from the mighty Mississippi.
