Top Minnesota Zoo Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Bloomington - Mall of America

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location for those wanting to be close to the MSP airport or Mall of America. The staff was friendly, the breakfast selection was plentiful and delicious but the best amenities provided was the shuttle service to/from MSP, Mall of America, and the light rail transit center nearby. I’d definitely recommend this location."

GrandStay Hotel and Conference

10/10 Excellent

"The room we had was HUGE! We didn't know what to do with all the space. The staff that we talked to were great. I wish they would fix the little things better. The bathroom door was patched but it was a bad patch up. Just a little time on little things will make the hotel look great! The bed was comfy. It's been hotels since we've slept in a hotel room that had a good bed. The full size fridge was a great plus for our room. Also the house keepers need to move the sofas and clean under them, With the wood floors its one little and easy job. We found food, wrappers, etc under it. We moved the sofa because the layout was a little off to see the tv. Will for sure come back to the hotel!"
