I love your site, and as a Non-rev (airline employee spouse) traveler I frequently use it, (but just became a member). Using the past few reviews for MSP I immediately got a mat (and pillow & blanket). Knowing right where to head I went to the second floor area directly above the entrance to terminal E. The area was clean and quiet. We put the mats down against front wall and drifted off until they started to test the fire alarm for 5 minutes straight.

Other than the alarm, the accommodations were great and very much appreciated. As an additional note, the presence of 24 hr restaurants is great.

The last review for this airport was in 2013. Have you been there recently? Tell us about it!
