Consistent with other GWL’s. Decent food, friendly staff, great water park, and very busy. Things to do: water park with many slides, surf simulator, kid play area, lazy river, wave pool. Towels are free to use. Rock climbing, arcade, bowling (miniature balls/lanes) and probably lots more I didn’t see. We got a good deal on the room, but as always we always end up spending 3x what the room rate is buying pup passes, food, drinks, donuts, coffee, candy, yadayada. You can bring your own food and drink (even alcohol) in to the water park and hotel so you can make it less expensive but if you have kids especially under 10 yo you’ve got to get at least the smaller pup pass at $50 per. With pup pass they get some arcade play, build a bear, candy. It’s a nice fun thing for the kids to do. Overall we had a great stay and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The rooms were nice and clean. It’s just really busy but that’s all GWL’s.

We had a great stay! Our room was clean and good size. I’m a light sleeper and I didn’t hear anyone above or below my room. The planes start up around 7a, but I’m up by then anyway. Easy walk to the mall, maybe 5 mins to the entrance. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. My only minor complaint would be the terrible in room coffee. The coffee in the lobby wasn’t any better. I’d like a keurig option or even a Mr Coffee. I’ll pack a press next time.
Though the ratings for this property are generally good and my past stays at Hilton Garden Inns have been good to excellent, this property fell a bit short of expectations. On the plus side, most of the staff were very nice, especially the evening hostess at the bar (I believe her name was Sue), and our room on the front side of the hotel was clean, comfortable, and quiet. On the downside, however, rooms and hallways were dated and a bit worn, there was no food and beverage service Sunday night (not sure if that's every Sunday or just when we were there), the breakfast was a serve-yourself set up with selections that were more limited than you'd find at many Hampton Inns, and there was no table service at all. The only staff person who came close to our table at breakfast was someone cleaning the table next to us, with his backside against our table. The evening meals and service were, however, good. In short, not a bad place at all, but some improvements are needed to match my usual Hilton Garden Inn experience.
Nice room with a comfortable bed. Good breakfast. It’s close to everything we want including big department stores, Walmart, Sam’s Club and IKEA. Lots of restaurants nearby. It’s our first choice hotel in the area. We don’t usually stay anywhere else when we are in the area.
Breakfast and dining area was tiny, lacked adequate seating and tables. Overcrowded with people standing & eating, looking for place to sit. Chairs were too low. Fabric sofa in room smelled like a boy's gym locker room. Couldn't sit on it. Shuttle was great for airport and the mall.
Overall very satisfied, ten minutes drive from the airport, can also take the hotel's shuttlebus, 24 hours service, one car every half an hour. Have lunch and dinner. There are fewer goods in the small supermarket at the front desk. The room was very clean and tidy. It was originally set to be a double bed and turned out to be two double beds, and it was super comfortable to sleep. Hahaha ~
Great stay! Had small technical problems but was resolved right away. So I would stay here again because it was comfortable.

GGuest UserPlatinum Elite/InterContinental Ambassador here. My review compares InterContinental, Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn stays….and the Mall of America is head and shoulders above the rest! Arranged and checked in online using App, and arrived early. Team recognized my status and gave me a spacious room without me begging!!! Room overlooked busy highway but barely noticeable. Sparkling clean throughout, huge well lit modern shower . Comfy bed. Great shuttle service! This hotel truly sets the standard for judging business stays! Thank you Team!
武武Breakfast is relatively simple, but you can eat enough, the room is bigger, the bed is quite big, you can live with your child, very close to the airport, suitable for self-driving. Free parking in the car park.
GGuest UserI wanted a place close the the Mall of America so I could shop and come and go to all the activities for my 8 yr old son. The Hotel was perfect .. never had to experience the cold weather in my 4 day stay, as I simply needed to leave our coats in the room and use the sky bridge and we were inside the mall. The room was clean and I felt safe during my entire stay. The price was fair in my opinion and I will stay there again on my next shopping spree.
GGuest UserStay Report - 3/14 to 3/15 Location: The hotel is located in a large crop of airport hotels on the south side of MSP. Around it as I said are a half dozen other hotels and an 8 minute walk away is the 30th Avenue station on the Blue Line which can take you to the airport or downtown. The Mall of America is close but not an easy walk in the winter. MSP is about a 10 minute drive away Hotel: A standard slightly older Fairfield Inn. It has a large parking lot with EV plugs, a decent sized indoor pool, two computer business center, breakfast room and a small sweet shop. The hotel shuttle will drop you at MSP or the Mall. It is a little older as a property and feels a generation behind. Check In: I arrived late and found a very friendly agent who upgraded me to an executive suite from my cheap AAA rate two queens and gave me a goody bag. Best you can hope for as a Titanium at such properties. Room: Very large with a living room area with an armchair, couch and desk and a separate bedroom area. It's not a true suite as there's just one TV but it worked well for my purposes. The bathroom was on the small side however. Luckily no issues with power, Wifi or noise Breakfast: Best of both worlds: both breakfast sandwiches and bacon and scrambled eggs plus the usual cold items. I was really happy with this property. It worked well for my needs and I was treated well as a Titanium. I'd definitely be back.
GGuest UserI had a great experience. The shuttle from the airport was running about 45min late, so I took an Uber and the hotel reimbursed it. The shuttle back to the airport was ready and on time in the morning. I would definitely come back.
GGuest UserNO BREAKFAST, despite the fact that it still says there's a breakfast served in the pool area. I stayed here several times pre-covid and it was the typical Choice Hotel hot breakfast with sausage, eggs, waffles, fruit. etc. They're using Covid as an excuse to provide so-called grab n go bag. I will not recommend this hotel if you're expecting or enjoy a decent breakfast. I gave it 3 stars because the bed was comfortable, and because they were kind enough to honor my request for a room close to the elevator so I didn't have to carry my heavy bags far. If you don't mind paying for a decent morning meal down the road, then you will not be disappointed. I travel constantly for work and find that most decent hotels are now doing breakfast again, which is a very important perk for me and my clients. C'mon, Comfort inn!
GGuest UserBased solely on price to value, this would be 3.5 stars out of 5. Bedding, towels, and floor were clean, but the room smelled of decades of cigarette smoking. Opening the window and running the air helped. Continental breakfast is cereal, bread, or pancakes, but at least they had some sad-looking fruit. Front desk was friendly.
GGuest UserWe stayed at this hotel last year and booked a ”pool access room”. I thought it meant that they were restricting access to the pool to keep numbers down due to COVID. When we got there we realized they had rooms that opened up directly to the pool and that's what that meant. We still were not placed in one of those rooms. We didn't realize we didn't receive the room we paid for until we were already settled in and went down to the pool. We decided to just stay in the room we were given and still had a good time. We booked again last weekend because our young son loved the pool. We went to check in at 4:00 and there was a line out the door of people checking in. Every single person in line had an issue with checking in. I was behind six groups and it still took 45 minutes. She noted that I had booked a pool access room and they were sold out. I asked if there was a price difference to stay in another type of room. She said no - which seems a little ridiculous. We paid a premium to stay in a room with easy access to the pool. She said they were overbooked in every category and there were going to be a lot of angry people later that day. We got up to our room and it definitely wasn't the cleanest room I've ever stayed in. There were stains in the carpet, bathroom was dirty and everything seemed damp. There were no toiletries in the bathroom apart from a bar of soap. We booked the room for three people and there were only two shower towels. We said screw it and just used one of our beach towels to dry off with rather than harass the already understaffed hotel. We were planning on eating at JT's located in the hotel just for ease. We went down there and the door was unlocked, lights were on, but there wasn't a soul in sight. We don't think they ever even opened up on a Saturday night. A sign on the door would have been nice. My son enjoyed the pool and play area immensely, which made the ridiculous price almost worth it. But next time we want a hotel with a decent pool we will go elsewhere.
