Erik’s Retreat is unlike other lodging places I’ve been to. The room was very clean, large & comfortable (Executive Queen Suite). Erik’s Retreat had a warmth to it that I haven’t found elsewhere. Communications with staff was usually via text. They were very accommodating of my particular needs. Also, being a guest here supports a great cause. I definitely would stay here again!

The city of Edina is presently doing road & other public works work. Parking was free but had to walk about a couple of blocks on a dirt/gravel road to get to Erik’s Retreat from the designated parking area. Later I found out that they had underground parking for an additional small fee. I believe the underground parking is limited. Once the road work is done I think much of this situation will be resolved. *Guests are allowed to load & unload at front entrance.

Overall, a great place. Getting checked in was a breeze, and everything worked. Nice lobby area with comfortable chairs. Also, I liked the free cookies and Chex mix. Finally, there is a fantastic restaurant four blocks away in a strip mall, i.e., Patrick's. Best breakfast I'd had in years.

There was street construction directly in front of the building that should have been mentioned. The AC was not in operation. Only ambient air was being circulated. As a result, my room was stuffy, making it very difficult to sleep. Finally, the location of the available parking was not disclosed until after check-in.

Room was clean and spacious!! Good price for 800 sq. Ft. Apt style room with two separate bedrooms, which is perfect for teens or a group of friends. My family loved the complimentary treats and coffee! Building and grounds were beautiful. Neighborhood was quiet at night. Loved the self check-in and free parking. Parking was easy to find and not crowded. Location and easy access to the highway was convenient to get around town. I think the thing I loved the most was that the business is a non-profit that assists individuals with autism! As a social worker, it was really nice to see that places like this can thrive and make positive changes in people's lives. I felt much better about staying here than at anything owned by a corporation concerned only for their profit margins.

Shower head was slightly loose and needed tightening in order for the shower head to spray downward. The welcome email eluded to the room key code being sent in another document, but it was the same as the door key code in the welcome email, which was a bit confusing. I'm a breakfast person, so instead of complimentary cookies and brownies, if one of them were a muffin or cinnamon roll, that would be perfect!!!

We liked the location and staff- everyone was super friendly and always willing to help/answer any questions we had! We also love that everything is run by young people with autism and that our stay directly supports them- everyone was awesome! Very happy with our stay.

The only thing we thought could change is including a microwave in the rooms- our room did not have one. Very minor inconvenience, does not affect our overall satisfaction!

The room was comfortable and big. Treats, spa shower and refrigerator in the room. Nice grounds. Secure and safe building. Good, quiet neighborhood. No issues. Good value.

No staff onsite while I was there. No food or drink for purchase onsite. Good place to stay if you have a car. If you don't have a car, location is somewhat out of the way. A few restaurants and a store within walking distance. There is a bus about a half a mile away.

The property was well taken care of. The furnishings were lovely.

I loved the staff. One of the team members walked me to my room to make sure I could get in with the code. He also showed me the amenities in the room and saw the TV instructions were missing, so he brought those and a fan to the room.

The location was perfect for our needs. it was very clean and had a lovely decor. Our bed was super comfortable. And the room was stylish and up to date. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Plus it was very affordable.

I can’t think of anything that we didn’t like.

Nice quiet area and easy to find. Very well kept grounds, neat and clean inside. Spacious rooms, clean rooms. Fresh clean linens, more than enough pillows and towels. Would stay again.

Even though the room was nice, fresh and clean the bed was really hard, too firm for us. The binder of information was good but unclear about the breakfast, didn't state if we needed to call to request, just stated it would be brought to us by the concierge.

Unique building. Not the usual Hotel. Large room. Very nice bathroom with a walk in shower.

Our only complaint is the room temperature was too high.

Very elegant rooms and cleanliness. Great location off the main road and the Edina neighborhood is in a wealthy part of town. It was close to many restaurants. I called twice before I arrived, the staff was very friendly. The snacks in the room are a nice personal touch. The bedding and towels were high quality.

There's nothing to not love about this place.
