Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Bloomington at Mall of America, MN
"The room had old toiletries and the pool room stung your eyes from the chlorine but overall it was a good experience"

Wyndham Bloomington - Mall of America
"They said the fitness center was open 24 hours but it was just an empty room with no equipment. Pretty disheartening. The swimming area feels a bit worn and doesn't look very well maintained. Bedroom was fairly clean."

Radisson Blu Mall of America
"Loved absolutely everything Except the pool was closed. Terrible even though another hotel pool was offered. You don’t drag 5 grandkids ranging from age 1 to 6 years old to another location."

Hyatt Regency Bloomington - Minneapolis
"A short 6 minutes from MSP airport. Perfect for my last night in the area. Room was clean and comfortable. After a long week of traveling, I was happy there was a restaurant I could take advantage of. Only bummer was the $18 per night parking fee, thankfully I was only there one night."
