Celeste of St Paul
The staff was very friendly, the hotel is very clean, the location is great, although requires you to pay for parking. My only critique of this hotel would be the breakfast. It has cereal, milk, prepackaged oatmeal, and muffins that look like they have been frozen and thawed. Totally acceptable, ...

Wyndham Bloomington - Mall of America
Hot tub was closed. The water in the kids pool area was alot greener than it probably should have been. Theres no bathrooms in the pool area you would have to go either to your room or take a hike to the nearest bathroom which makes sense why the kids pool was so murky looking.

Radisson Blu Mall of America
The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. Was a bit worn down in terms of some of the furniture (some peeling of the covers, hard water stains in the shower) but nothing crazy. Overall super enjoyed our stay. People were so polite and the food in the restaurant was delicious.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Mall of America - MSP Airport by IHG
Breakfast was good , room was good, staff was mostly nice. The front desk person was not very friendly and was a bit short with his words. I reserved my room on Expedia and it didn’t say anything about parking lot charge and the deposit too it didn’t say anything when I reserved it.
