Dec 10, 2024Convenient Location with its Pluses and Minuses
I stayed in Minneapolis for business with my company's office nearby and connected easily with the skyway network. Given the freezing temperatures, I decided to stay here to avoid having to walk outside to/from my normal hotel. The hotel has a sleek lobby with a nice lounge/bar area, and another nice lounge/bar area on the 27th floor. I had requested suite awards for my stay as I had them expiring before the end of the year. A few days before, I got an email saying my request was granted and was going to be given a corner room. But after I checked in and got up to my floor, I got a regular room and not a corner room, which was odd given that there are only 10 rooms per floor typically, and 4 of them are corner rooms. I was exhausted after a long day and didn't bother asking the front desk what was up. The room was small but still comfy. The bed was on the softer side while the foam pillows were nice and firm. The black out shades are terrific - blocks out all light from the outside. Noise from the outside was pretty minimal too. Room temperature was a consistent temperature by keeping it on Low Fan, although when I first walked into the room it was a hot 80 degrees. The water temps in the bathroom were a mystery and frustrating. The faucet was either warm to hot or mild to cold. No in between. The shower would get colder within a few minutes and I felt I had to turn the knob a few times during my shower to get the temp back to what I wanted. I'd be open to staying at this W again when in town, but if I come when its warmer, I'd probably go back to my usual place.

Horrible experience
The flush of the commode was not working. We've asked someone to fix this problem. They've told us that they would send their engineer, but they didn't. We've asked for blankets, but they didn't send any. There is NO toilet shower near the commode to wash private parts after peeing and pooping.

Oct 01, 2024Room with a mildew
Nice rooms, old building with some remaining charm, horrible mildew or mold problem not sure if it’s on every floor.I suspect the sealed windows are leaking and a lack of air circulation. Lukewarm water for shower was very refreshing. 4/10 for cleanliness Don’t stay here if you have mold allergies.

Sep 29, 2024Disappointing W Foshay
Our first visit to the W Foshay was very disappointing. Valet service was poor, he didn’t help us with luggage and didn’t speak to us. Greeting was “cold” at the desk. Coffee and lotion were not stocked in the room, called front desk and housekeeping and it was never delivered. I booked two rooms for our family and with what I spent I guess I assumed we would be treated like we were welcomed guests.

Too many red-flag issues in one three night stay
Unfortunately, several issues arose during my visit that, while frustrating on their own, together point to a broader concern with operational efficiency and customer service. First, despite selecting the "service daily" option for housekeeping during online check-in, my room was only serviced on one day. I did not leave a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door and made several attempts to rectify the situation by contacting the front desk in person and by phone on both days. On one occasion, my request was ignored without explanation. The following day, it took multiple attempts and conversations before the room was finally serviced. Secondly, as a Platinum Elite member, I was offered a complimentary breakfast as a welcome gift. I placed an order at 8:00 AM on Sunday morning, intending to enjoy the meal before departing on a four-hour drive. Unfortunately, the breakfast never arrived by the time we left at 10:30 AM. When I inquired with the front desk, I was assured someone would check on the order and call me back immediately. That call never came. Most concerning, however, was a serious security lapse on Saturday evening. A front door staff member allowed a man who was not a guest to enter under the pretense of needing to use the restroom near the lobby bar. Instead of heading toward the restroom, he followed our group, as well as a group of young female guests, to the elevators. The man was clearly unstable, making incoherent comments about offering and asking for money. When I alerted the front desk staff, they seemed uncertain on how to handle the situation, allowing the man to board the elevator with the unaware female guests. This was a significant security failure that could have ended very poorly. It’s clear that your hotel, like many in the W Hotel brand, emphasizes a “hip” and trendy atmosphere, which I appreciate. However, it is crucial that customer service and safety are not compromised in the process.
