The space is very clean with thoughtful touches to make you feel at home. We enjoyed the hot tub as well - and appreciated the terry cloth robes that Patty supplied. We know the Twin Cities well, so didn't need the local recommendations - in looking over that list though, she has a lot of great suggestions. We enjoyed walking down to A Baker's Wife for tasty pastries and then next door to Angry Catfish Bicycle & Coffee Bar for equally tasty coffee.
