"Perfect Wedding Venue"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
My wife and I stayed at 21C during our niece's wedding which was held at the hotel. The reception was held in the art installation area which was absolutely lovely and the wedding was in the event area and that was perfect for a beautiful wedding and dance! The hotel room bed was super comfortable.

"Your online bidding system saved me hours and hours of phone calls trying to find a hotel for my family event in the Twin Cities the weekend the Republican National Convention begins. I had been calling places to no avail and did not relish the thought of calling the entire phone directory's worth of hotels. So this was great! Thank you." N.D. - Minneapolis, MN
