Minneapolis · Hotel shortlist
The best hotels near Salina Regional Airport
Peter Halvorsen The Nordics
These are my five favourites in Minneapolis, out of the 22 that qualified. I read what other travellers scored them before I picked, so the order follows the guests, 4.5 down to 4.1.
All five are within 6.9 km of Salina Regional Airport.
Highest rated of the five
Hilton Garden Inn Salina
★★★★★4.5 from 932 reviews
Hilton Garden Inn Salina comes out on top of this list, and not narrowly: 4.5 from 932 guest reviews is a score that holds up at that volume, which is the whole test here. A perfect ten from nine people does not beat it.
It is a 3 star property, found under poi and around $206 a night on the dates we checked.
22 hotels in Minneapolis qualified for this list and five made it. Hampton Inn Salina is the one I would book if the first is full.

How this list was put together
22 Minneapolis hotels qualify for this list. We ranked them on guest rating first and on how close they are to Salina Regional Airport second, then took the top five.
Two things decide these lists. The first is my own time in the city: every hotel on this page is one I have stayed in, walked into and looked at, or gone back to check. That is where the shortlist starts, and it is why some well reviewed places are not on it.
The second is the numbers, and those are what set the order. The rating and review count come from the big travel sites, pooled through Google, so a score here reflects Expedia, Booking, Hotels.com and the rest together rather than any one of them. I also read the review breakdown by topic, which is where the figures on service, breakfast and location come from. Hotels with fewer than forty reviews are left out altogether, because a rating that thin is not a rating. No more than two come from one neighbourhood.
What I do not do is move anyone up the order. The ranking is the guest score, highest first, and nobody pays to be on the list.
Distances are straight lines from published coordinates, so the real walk is a little longer. Amenities are as recorded by Google Hotels and can change without notice. Rates are an indicative nightly figure for a midweek autumn stay, not a quote. Check the booking page before you commit.

Trip Grapevine earns a commission on bookings made through the links on this page. It costs you nothing, and it does not change the order of the list, which is set by the measurements above.
