we stay here every time we are in the cities

by ldannette

Since its been refurbished, this hotel is a pleasant place to stay, there's a Butter Burger's location in front of the hotel so you don't even have to get in the car with tired children if you want to grab something quick to eat. Easy on/off of 494, very friendly and helpful staff. Affordable. We had an flight delay getting us into Minneapolis at 1 a.m., the hotel reduced the cost of the stay because of the extemely late check in. Shuttle and proximity to Mall of America and airport big benefits and we stay here every time we come through town.

• Pros: reasonable rates, near airport, friendly staff
• Cons: wish breakfast was a little more substantial

OK, but not three stars and somewhat run-down

by ambirgris

Run-down and a bit dumpy. Not much of improvement since being sold by Baymont. Thought maybe they'd do more than change the signs.

Reasonably clean but not a three-star hotel. I don't like the old-fashioned punch-hole key cards. Seems they're tied to the rooms. Too easy to be robbed. Bothered by the staff twice while unable to open door and once at 8AM.

The waffles at breakfast smelled good, but that doesn't make for a good stay.
