Good Hotel but…….

Was in town for the Bengals vs Vikings game. The hotel is nice. Plenty of dining options around and is situated between both the Twins and Vikings stadiums. Only downfall for me is the lack of security in the area around the hotel. Many homeless that will approach you as soon as the sun goes down. Had to walk in a group to feel somewhat safe. The Nicollet mall area is sketchy at best. During the day absolutely no issues. If you are a solo traveler I’d probably look elsewhere if you feel the need to leave for dinner at night.
