Top South Minneapolis Hotel Reviews

The Royal Sonesta Minneapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Clean"

Radisson Blu Mall of America

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay if you are visiting MOA!! Direct access to the mall from the 2nd floor. The front desk staff very nice, courteous and accommodating. The airport shuttle staff (outstanding) 30 minute rotations to the airport (free). The restaurant (Fire Lake) delicious food, drinks, desserts and service (🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟) five stars!!!!"

Wyndham Bloomington - Mall of America

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome for kids!! Two pools, one for toddlers, ranging from 6” to 2’ deep. Comfy bed and pillow (soft and more firm available). Great shuttle service, to and from the airport as well as the mall of America- and I think more places, we just didn’t try to go anywhere else. Rooms surround the pool, so floor level rooms open (back side of room) to the pool area- entertaining for the kids! There’s a gate around the pool, so if a little kid escaped the room they still can’t get to the pool. Because of the pool and shuttle service, we will return when in the area! Also, it was about half the price of all other hotel options in the area.. not sure why!"

Mystic Lake Casino Hotel

8/10 Good

"The concert we were going to attend was postponed due to air quality. There was no messaging or email sent out prior to us arriving at the Casino. It was postponed at around 1-1:30 pm and this was around 6 pm when we saw it on the monitors around the casino. We could have had a couple options to change plans had we known at a reasonable time since we drove from the Duluth area."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Minneapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"My favorite place to stay in the Minneapolis area! The Target Center is super close and the other go-to spots are easy to get to as well. The on site valet service is phenomenal and provides peace of mind with off-street secure parking for a reasonable price. Their rooms are spacious and clean, and the continental breakfast with the made to order omelet area is outstanding! Highly recommend!!"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Mall of America - MSP Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"The property was located near Msp airport, which worked well for us. The two ladies working the front desk at check in, while moderately friendly, were having a conversation when we first approached that they continued for a bit while we stood there. It didn’t appear pertinent to their work and I felt like we were almost intruding. The room was clean and very adequate for our needs, however if you turned over in one of the beds during the night, the bed frame would make a noise waking me up."
