I would not recommend this motel if that's what you want to call it to my worst enemy. Not only did they have roaches they had mice. Mold on the door and wall, it smelled like urine in the bathroom area. So I got bleach to try and sanitize.we move to two different rooms and they all were nasty someone... More

Tho is the filthiest place I have ever been in. The parking lot is decent and there was a man outside in his running vehicle as another reviewer stated previously. When I walked in the room the stench was overwhelming there where holes and cracks in the walls an rat poison had been set out I stayed for about five... More

I had to go to Minneapolis last month for three days. I was looking for a nice accommodation close to downtown and found Aqua City. I was not excited to see the reviews but still ended up staying there. To my surprise it was nothing like the pictures posted here and the reviews don’t accurately describe the place. It had... More

I have stayed here off and on for several years.....working with the staff is excellent and great to work with. The rooms are clean and not like as some of the reviews i have read. The price and location is great. I would recommend this for any traveller.

I stayed at the Aqua city motel for an extended period of time. Its a great place if you're a people watcher.... Nothing more enjoyable than prostitutes and crackheads on a friday night! The Management isnt nosy,or easy to reach after about 8pm so if discretion is what youre after,this is the spot for you! And dont worry about the... More

If the place is as described, why someone will stay for an extended period of time? I would check out the very first day instead of staying for a long time. We are here 24 hours on site and office remains open. We are on Lyndale Ave. , one of the main streets in Minneapolis, I am not sure if... More

This is by far the nastiest room I have ever been in in my entire life. The carpet is stained and filthy, the towels and sheets don't get washed with soap, there is mold growing everywhere and the walls are paper thin so you can smell and hear EVERYTHING. The owner is some cranky Arab man who barely knows English... More

Well, if you do not mind the horrible smelling main rug in my motel room which needed tearing out and throwing away, the lack of about half the electrical outlets or lights working, lots of what appeared to be marginal and I mean very marginal characters..... living there, and broken appliances, and lack of much connection with a manager or...

This is a fairly average place. The pool leaves much to be desired, so go to a public pool instead of using the one on the motel property. The rooms feature the old-fashioned normal lock, with no chain, which in a way is nice, but also inconvenient if you're looking for ventilation. The best thing the room had going for... More

This was, undoubtedly, the dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed in and I have stayed in dozens of cheap motels across the country. I had read other reviews about the filth and thought they must be exaggerating. I am a college student on a budget and just needed a room for the night after a concert so decided to take... More

I found the Aqua City Motel on Trip Advisor and called the hotel to get more information since there is not a lot listed on the site. After listening to a long drawn out answering service, I pressed 0 to speak with someone at the front desk. When my call was finally answered after 9 rings, the guy told me... More
