What are good Marriott hotels in Minneapolis?  I looked into the Hotel Ivy but see mixed reviews and one reviewer posted he came home with bedbugs.

How come no wiki?

Does it have to be walking distance? Because I’m not sure there are any

No just driving distance to shuls like 10 minutes or less.

It seems like the DoubleTree is the closest hotel to the community.
As far as an itinerary I can’t help much, but make sure to check out The Mall of America

Ok what else is cool there and not so expensive?
Any scenic area close by?

We went to the Mall of America and took the kids to the Nickelodeon Amusement Park inside the mall.  Also ate at Earth Burger (kosher burger stand) and there is a kosher Cinnabon in the mall.  Part of my TR if you are interested:

Does anyone have any information about the Yeshiva of Minneapolis? their website is quite basic, in fact void of any descriptive information other than a general mission statement at the bottom.. the building looks amazing. I hear they have individual attention for the boys and go on trips and stuff but i want to hear more. theres practically no info online!

anyone here know anything about it?
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible

Didn't see any dedicated thread for Rochester MN so posting here.

Hopefully none of you need this info but FYI if needed.

We recently had a family member undergo a procedure at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester.

We stayed at the relatively new Berkman Hotel, literally across the street.
Accommodations were awesome, as each room has a full kitchen, washer/dryer etc...
Very nice place and very spacious.

The GM Jeff and Concierge, Lisa are 2 incredibly devoted, caring people who would do anything to ensure the satisfaction and well being of any guests!
We had specific religious needs(Shabbos etc..) that they both went above and beyond to ensure all our needs were being met!

The Chabad of Southern Minnesota is around a 10 minute walk for those staying over shabbos, R Green and family are amazing people!
There is a Bikur Cholim House a 3 minute drive away fully stocked with all kosher items needed and if staying for shabbos one can arrange food by calling Bikur Chlim before Wednesday evening and they will deliver.
