Pine Lake

First, the good news: My room was large, clean, and newly updated. I also thought the staff were very capable and friendly. The not-so-good news: The facility as a whole feels a bit shop-worn. Much more seriously, the smell in the lobby is very unpleasant (some of this is likely the result of having the indoor pool right off the lobby).

If your looking to spend time in the room or dinning at the Nicollet Island Inn. I dont think you will be disappointed. Everything is close to the hotel. A quick Uber ride and your in down town Mpls or St.Paul. I have stayed here a few times. The thing I have liked is a simple thing. You get a real door key. Funny yes but not something one gets anymore.
