Milwaukee Road Depot to shed its Courtyard (by Marriott)
The Business Journal reports that the hotel adjacent to and inside the historic Milwaukee Road Depot in Minneapolis is changing its affiliation. Instead of charging customers $219 to $269 per night, the inn plans to ask $249 to $299 per night as a Renaissance Hotels & Resorts property. The upgrade will give visitors access to flat panel TVs and wood blinds (as opposed to "heavy drapes"), but the historic character of the 1899 building will be preserved. The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
