Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Bloomington at Mall of America, MN
This motel is located directly across the street (Kilabrew St.) from the Mall of America. The motel has complimentary airport shuttle service, a very good breakfast, a decent small gym. It checks all the boxes, and I’ll return.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Mall of America - MSP Airport by IHG
Overall stay was great. Disappointed that there was a $15 charge for parking per day. There was a big lot to self-park. I guess I didn't read the fine print. Unfortunately, since there are hotels nearby that have free parking, we will never book here agai
