Single night paid stay at the W Foshay two nights ago - in MPLS for evening with my spouse to attend Sunday afternoon class at the Cooks of Crocus Hill with two good friends (which ultimately was cancelled on us and led to four of us having early dinner and drinks at Young Joni and post-dinner beers at Indeed (tried for Dangerous Man next door, but was closed for private event). Intentionally stayed here because (1) wanted to partake in 30th floor observation deck; (2) to cross "W" off the list of Marriott brands I hadn't yet stayed at; (3) to kill an SNA that I hadn't otherwise yet earmarked for anything. (Also speculatively booked the Rand Tower as my other alternative, but that hotel did not offer SNA options.) as Booked Spectacular King at AAA rate which included valet parking. SNA cleared into Fantastic suite 5 days out. Impressions and gut reactions: * Lobby is very "W" - dark, painfully hip, and Vegas-like in atmosphere. Thankfully, Fantastic suite on 25th floor (corner) was replete with many windows and lots of natural light, terrific views. * Despite my apprehensions, minimal noise in room other than rustling of wind outside and the groaning and gasping of the HVAC - likely helped by fact that 25th floor suites only 4 to floor and it was a Sunday night (avoided weekend, and avoided most of business associated with Big 10 women's basketball tournament which had just concluded that afternoon). * Attractively furnished, though lighting controls not intuitive (at least not to us - took 10 minutes to finally identify how to turn mood lighting behind bed off). Appreciated the Nespresso. Fridge was in room, but was not operational; clearly *had* been used as mini-bar at some point (all items now removed presumptive post-COVID), but odd that it wasn't set up to chill/work as general use fridge. * Mattress was comfortable, but pillows were too insubstantial - wound up grabbing a throw pillow from sofa to supplement. * Good water pressure in rainfall shower, but door to stall slammed shut, even with gentle coaxing to close. my spouse tried out tub - not large enough to truly stretch out, but enjoyed the nighttime view through window while soaking. * Valet polite, quick on both drop-off and pick-up (latter flagged through texting - had car pulled up in less than 5 minutes from request). Big picture: Fair stay, though not amazing. I fully recognize that I have already aged beyond the W's target demographic - thankfully, the Foshay seems to be a "milder" version of that aesthetic, tempered quite a bit by the historic bones of the building (and the nods and touches to that history in the decor). Stayed in 2502 - appears that 25th floor may all be Fantastic suites based on room configuration Sitting area with sofa and dining table seating 4 - entry is on right side Bedroom Bathroom with tub; shower and toilet opposite View from 25th floor Info on amenities, FNB options provided in room
