MINNEAPOLIS � June 9, 2005 � CSM Lodging announces the opening of the Marriott Minneapolis West, a completely remodeled, full-service, upscale hotel and meeting facility in St. Louis Park, Minn.

The facility�s eight conference rooms are state-of-the-art in terms of design and technology, offering 15,000-square-feet of flexible meeting space.

Guest rooms are large and stylish, featuring upscale furnishings; flat screen TVs; well-lit, oversized granite vanities; and curved shower rods. The Marriott Minneapolis West also boasts the new Marriott bed, which features white-on-white plush bedding consisting of an 11-inch mattress, featherbed topper, 300-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets, a down blanket, six down pillows and a colorful bed scarf. For the business traveler, all rooms feature a highly functional work desk and high speed Internet access.

Additional amenities include a concierge floor for VIP guests. The Marriott Minneapolis West also features a Kosher banquet kitchen � one of just a few in the Twin Cities metro area.
