For what you get it’s not worth it! Its expensive and you get nickel and dimmed for utilities like i have NEVER seen before anywhere else!

*You pay for cold water.
*You pay for hot water sewage.
*You pay for cold water sewage.

OH, OH and you pay a fee to the utility company managing all the above fees for the pleasure of taking your money. WTF
Try paying your rent online through their system = FEES FEES FEES
There are dogs running about everywhere and pooping. If you are not a dog person DONT RENT HERE.
Apartment finishes are cheap the only good thing was the location to the park.
Don’t get me started about gay pride weekend. LOUD MUSIC BLASTING FRIDAY TO SUNDAY FROM RESTAURANT COURTYARD. It was a nightmare.
After a hell year we moved…

I’ve lived at the Eitel Building for approximately 1 year at this point. First things first
— Price: $$$$ the Eitel Building is relatively expensive with respect to square footage and overall amenities. The apartment homes are very small projecting the image of a modern boutique hotel — while stylishly laid out the appliance selection leaves a bit to be desired. This criticism is due largely in part to the overall lease rates which should reflect higher end appliances and finishes other wise they would be more than sufficient.
— Location: 1367 Willow Street is an excellent location. Conveniently located directly adjacent to Loring Park, with a really nice trendy Restaurant and Bar downstairs. With in a 5 minute walk to Downtown/​Target Inc. headquarters/​local restaurants, 5 minute drive to Uptown area.
— Amenities: the amenities are outstanding featuring — Theater room, massage room, yoga room, business center, conference room, and an epic skypark to rival any rooftop in the city. These are the best features!
— Design and Service: trendy and modern design — customer service is prompt, knowledgable and polite.
Overall a great place to live just overpriced

I’ve lived here for a year now and it’s somewhat decent – not at all worth it for the money you’re going to pay. The concierge is very odd and does not work regular hours (not Dustin – he was the best). The leasing/​main office staff is only interested in you until you sign the lease (a year later you can expect your rent to get jacked up with no explanation as to why).
The walls are paper thin so you best hope you’re not stuck next to an apartment with a dog. The garbage chute and move-​in elevator are at one end of the building, and the main lobby and mailboxes are at the other. The building’s main hall winds quite a bit – if you live in the old building you have a 2 minute walk to take out your trash, and vice versa if you live in the new building and want to check your mail. One of the worst planned buildings I’ve seen. On top of that, there are 7 floors in the building, and I’ve never encountered a slower elevator in any building that I’ve set foot in in my life. It’s truly unreal.
The perk of the rooftop is not worth it. Most places in the area where you would pay this rent have a pool (don’t let the jacuzzi fool you – it works approx. 3 months out of the year), and other buildings let you have a grill on your balcony. Live in 110 Grant or Loring Park Apts. if you’re looking to live downtown in a nice building where you pay for what you can expect.
Don’t be fooled by the nice website or the fancy rooftop or lobby — you are paying for the apartment, and this apartment is not worth the rent for Minneapolis.

This review is of the Eitel’s Sky Lounge, not the apartments.
I went to the One Man Minneapolis kick-​off tonight at the Sky Lounge in the Eitel Apartments. I was especially excited to go a) because this is a great event to support and 2) I’ve always wanted to get to peek inside this sweet building.
And the Sky Lounge didn’t disappoint. It has a fabulous outdoor space with bar, foose ball, and loungers, and the inside space is warm and cozy with a flat screens, bar, pool table and high tops. It’s a fabulous place to throw an intimate event of about 90 (more if you include the spacious outdoor area).
Maddy S mentioned that they will be showing movies out there this summer… lucky inhabitants! I would love to kick it on a warm summer evening watching a great film while sipping a glass of wine with the view of Minneapolis in the background.
Maddy, maybe you should invite us over! ;)

Our move into this building was very bumpy (our original unit wasn’t complete in time after being pressured into cutting our previous lease early because the lofts were «going fast» and they couldn’t hold one for us), however I now chalk it up to a lot of confusion going on in management since the building was still being completed and there was a lot of turnover as the company was trying to find the right personnel mix to staff the new place. They compensated us for the inconvenience and the customer service has dramatically improved since that time. The only other issue we’ve had was in regards to parking — you get a space contracted out to you if you choose to have one, and now that the lot is full we had someone park in our spot. Thankfully, the building manager was quick to remedy the problem after we emailed him, and he was very apologetic and empathetic.
It’s a little expensive for what it is (I wouldn’t recommend living here alone unless you make quite a bit of money) but we love it. It’s modern, the public spaces are beautiful, and it’s a lot more «us» than several other apartments we’ve had are. The landscaping and little «plazas» around the property are fantastic, particularly a private zen garden they have off of West 14^th Street. There’s also a fantastic SkyLounge on the roof that was fantastic to veg out on in the summer — there are massive wood loungers on astroturf that are fantastic to sprawl out on with a book, and the whole area smells of pine because of how much wood is up on that deck. There’s a movie theater outside on the SkyLounge (also an indoor one on the main level), which hopefully they’ll make more use of next year with more building movie screenings.
