They have a free shuttle that will take you to and from the workshop.(It only goes within a 10 mile radius, so you would need to take the Super Shuttle to and from the airport.) There is an onsite restaurant (but no complementary breakfast) and access to a full fitness facility.
LaQuinta Inn & Suites, Minneapolis-Minnetonka, at 10420 Wayzata Blvd., Minnetonka, MN 55427. Their phone number is 952-541-1094.
