These 9th St apartments have been our home away from home. There may only be a couple apartments on the block we haven't stayed at yet.
Like I've said before we were priced out of the Hyatt Place Downtown years ago w/ their inflated fluctuating prices. Not much of a stay for the cost and constant noise from the other guests.
Chris's apartments have more to offer anyways. Yes, the floor creaks when you walk around but what do you expect from a historic residence. Everything works in the apartment, there are plenty of appliances in the kitchens, coffee maker, blender/smoothie machine, etc to cook with or make snacks. The apartments remind me of going to visit my grandmother when I was a kid. They are clean, the beds are comfortable and the location is ideal to go anywhere downtown. All of the apartments we have stayed in so far have been updated with modern appliances and lighting fixtures in all of the rooms.
Our Fall trip to return is already reserved. This trip was a short one but we explored South along the Mississippi River and spent the afternoon in Prescott, Wisconsin and in Hastings, Minnesota walking around. Our past trip In April we explored North of Minneapolis on the Mississippi River at Coon Rapids and Anoka. Make sure you stop in to the Mississippi Gateway Regional Park and across the river at Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park. We spent all day driving both sides of the river that day. The day before we drove through the Minnehaha scenic parkway and both sides of the Mississippi on the East and West River Parkway and stopped at the Gorge Parkway. Caution on the East side River Parkway; at the beginning from the North the riad was made one way so the residents could walk in the street...Not sure why because there are paved paths on both sides of the road. An uppity snooty lady yelled at us because we were trying to run her over while she walked in the middle of the street. :o I laughed and thought maybe this was the White Privelage everyone was talking about...This Fall's plan for the day is to explore up the St Croix from the Mississippi in Prescott. The St Croix River is mostly protected and access is very limited it's entire stretch up to St Croix Falls and beyond.
***** Stars!
