Hotel was clean, staff was very nice and helpful, and it was very conveniently located to the airport and the Mall of America. Only had one little issue with the room hair dryer and the staff rectified it immediately. Breakfast is a very light one…waffles, cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, bagels/toast, fruit, and honey buns…but was perfect for our liking. Would highly recommend this place.

Disappointed.

One of the reasons i stayed there is because they have a pool. The pool was not open due to being worked on. They should let people know ahead of time. The room has holes in the walls, bathroom has holes in walls, without was trash, sink wasn't installed right, bathroom door paint was peeling off all over. Carpet turned my feet black.
