"The General Store" is a unique place to stay and even more spacious than the photos suggest. I really enjoyed the window dividers which sectioned off spaces but still made the entire space viewable. The bed! One of the comfiest things I've ever slept on (so comfy that returning to my own bed was a bit of a struggle, haha) and the couch is also a cozy resting space (actually all of the furniture was comfortable. Goldilocks would have zero complaints). The waterfall shower head was a nice touch as were all the incredible amenities (a lovely welcome basket of snacks waited on a table and the bathroom was stocked with q-tips, floss, shower amenities, etc., and the kitchen had coffee, tea, and some spices/oils aside from all the kitchenware that allows one to cook instead of going out for every meal. There were also some books as well as all the TV streaming services one could think of). Very little communication was needed as the check-in and check-out were very easy and the place was in great condition. As for location, there are several delightful cafes within walking distance (I highly recommend both Standish Cafe and Sisters' Sludge Coffee). You can hear people entering and exiting the adjoined building, but it wasn't often or intrusive. "The General Store" is a great space that I highly recommend for your stay in the Twin Cities.
