What a winner of a place! Excelsior is a delightful town, and the Hotel is a short walk from Lake Minnetonka’s shoreline, right on the town’s main street . Loads of cute boutiques and good restaurants are walking distance from the Hotel, as well as a very good market and wine store. We stayed in the Wayzata Suite, which was spacious, comfortable and very well appointed. Our host, Tyler, communicated well before and after check-in, and reserved a parking space for us directly behind the building. Excelsior proved to be a nice base from which to explore many areas around the lake.
