Editorial Review for Graves 601 Hotel Minneapolis – by John Nemo

In Short
At 22 stories tall, Graves stands on top of the Block E complex, which includes a Hard Rock Cafe and GameWorks. This hip area is a short distance from the Warehouse District's bars, shops and restaurants. But it might be hard to leave the hotel: All 255 rooms are decorated to the hilt with back-lit photographs, glass-etched headboards and other high-tech amenities, like high-speed Internet access and 42-inch plasma-screen TVs with built-in entertainment systems.

We called at 10PM the night prior to make a reservation, none could be made until the following morning at 10AM. (despite what their phone messages state.) She mentioned the online booking but told us to follow up with a phone call the next morning. We attempted to confirm at 10AM but only got was an answering machine. An hour later, again no live person to talk to regarding reservation confirmation. A 4th call two hours later no one was yet available in reservations. This time I had to tell them either we recieved confirmation or we would be forced to go elswhere. This time they found someone. I also specifically confirmed the exact room layout and I didn't want to run into one not being available upon our arrival, she stated there would be no problems. Upon arrival, we where given our room cards and of course it was the wrong room. After going back down to the desk she stated that we had reserved the room but staff hadn't blocked the room on the computer. After a bit of fanfare and explanation of how hard it was to even make the reservation they did attempt to accomdate me by upgrading to another room that had a Spa (After trying to convince me to take another room with a slightly more limited view then my original reservation). They then offered to show me one of the other rooms for future reference after we check out our upgraded room. After doing so, we called back down to check out the other room and they stated no room was available to show us. Misc. cons: Heavy dust buildup on bathroom shower door holders, really yellow water (hard water I'm guessing), broken hot tub switch (the only difference in my upgraded room from a corner room), dead batteries in the chic bathroom scale, small rooms overall, Very poor staffing of the front desk. The positives: Very comfortable beds, nice plasma TV in the main room and bathroom, nice decor, Good View of the city, nice location to light rail. I've been to far more organized 4 star hotels in Minneapolis.

Pros: Decor, location, comfortable beds.

Cons: Poor staffing, Dust buildup, broken hut tub switch, dead batteries in bathroom scale, yellow water

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

My significant other and I go every time one of our birthdays roll around. I would recommend a corner suite because the view is awesome. The room feels so open and seemless. The linens are very comfortable. It's like laying on a cloud; literally. The bathrooms are very fancy and modern. Room service is excellent, the staff makes you feel like royalty. The location is perfect for us because it is near all of the bars and clubs and restaurants DT. It's impossible to get bored here. The building it's in has everything you could ever need in it. You could stay the whole weekend or longer and never leave the building and never have to visit the same place twice. There are multiple restaurants and bars, a bowling alley/arcade and a spa and a movie theater. I love this hotel!!

Pros: everything

Cons: none

With chic rooms, a swanky restaurant and a hot dance club, it blends in perfectly with Block E's over-the-top attractions.  See the full editorial review.
