The geeks may not have inherited the Earth just yet, but surely global domination is imminent judging by the ever-growing number of hotels seeking to cater them. Like-minded people can flaunt their love of books in public arenas and wave their finished Sudoku sheets proudly in the lobby. The Commons Hotel, which opens next month in Minneapolis is just one of many.
The hotel claims it will offer a "sense of inner geek in a chic setting" and points to the University of Minnesota as a source of inspiration. Guests will be able to sleep in a Geek Chic Suite and enjoy a range of unusual activities and amenities, including "Sudoku sleep-ins" and "tech time-outs".
Those visiting the hotel for conferences haven't been forgotten either: Jenga and spelling bee breaks will be introduced to banish boardroom boredom.

Just left The commons hotel which is being renovated. Very disappointed in the service and the changing price mid stay. While some of the desk staff were great, one decided to increase the price of our room by $60.00 a day mid stay. We were subjected to the constant sounds of stone sawing and heavy construction. The rooms were too warm and the thermostat did not work. There is no room service, only send out from Applebees. Having stayed here before, I was surprised at the decline in service. This stay was for my medical care at Fairview and the Hotel announced to us that the patient rate was no longer effective after we had been there two nights and I was post operative so could not easily move to another location. After four stays here in two years, I am sorry to say I will not return to this hotel.
