Long term hotel/motel stays in the Minneapolis area?

I will be going to Minneapolis for work and will probably be there a couple months. Anybody know of any decently priced long term motel or hotel rooms?

Thanks


Check out http://cheaphotelpass.com they have the best rates. Good Luck!

My first thought was Craigslist (1st link below to short term stays.) You don't say what part of town you would be looking for, but the next few links are places I would consider for you....

IF you really want to stay at a hotel (near where you will be working) contact the hotel's reservation manager DIRECTLY and say that you were thinking about staying 2 months at least and wondering what the BEST price they could do for you. Be nice....More flies with honey... Don't commit to any place hotel or sublet until you see them and review all your options! (I used to work in hotels so ANYTHING is possible. If you really want a certain hotel and you are not getting anywhere with the reservation manager, call the hotel's manager! ) They give bonus consideration for paying upfront--at least a week's worth of time. On average, for a GREAT deal, you should pay about $50+ a day--that's why a sublet would be better.

Oh! If you do choose a hotel, cozy up to the front desk staff because they will get you better rooms, etc. Get a hotel that serves breakfast as a comp too. If you have a car, you might want to bypass the downtown Minneapolis hotels due to parking fees--as high as $20+ a DAY!

The last link is to Minneapolis so you can explore some more things!

What better time to be in Minneapolis! Have fun!
