Wyndham Bloomington - Mall of America
Overall we a had a very nice stay here. Pool was definitely a hit with the kids. Would stay again. House keeping said they come every 3 days, but didn't come during our 5 night stay, but no big deal. Location is perfect when going to and from the Mall and Nickelodeon.
