Motel 6

funny

Hewing is the best hotel in MSP in my opinion but isn’t Marriott. A lot of coworkers have stayed at the Elliott (too far away imo) and the Renaissance (too old imo).

If you want a Marriott you can’t go wrong with most of them directly downtown. I’d stay in the Ivy, the W, or the AC probably. I wouldn’t do the Westin tho.

Fair point on the W. It’s just in a cool historic building in MSP with arguably the best steakhouse (I don’t particularly love steak but know others do). Agreed that they’ve made it a bit ‘night clubby’ which was not a great design choice.

Stayed at the Elliott for the better part of a year. Depending on where you’re working, it’s a great small property. The staff is great, and if you’re there for a while, they’ll probably work with you on breakfast options, etc.

The intercontinental attached to airport is convenient, it has it's own TSA.

Really depends are you downtown or more likely in one of the burbs F500

And airport is close to mall of America so you can get shake shack

I’m not sure if it’s still there but there is a Bloomington Sheraton right there kind of near the airport. I stayed there nearly a month and the staff is sooo sweet.

I loved the Westin Edina-stayed there for the year and the staff was fab. Attached to a small high end mall

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?

Are there any All Inclusive Marriott properties?

I recently received an offer for 200k€ in Amsterdam. Includes travel, 30% ruling, holiday pay.

Any idea if that is enough to cover a mortgage on a flat within biking distance from the city center without over spending on housing?
