Top Sea Life Minnesota Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Bloomington at Mall of America, MN

8/10 Good

"We enjoy family trips to the MOA - shopping, dining, and rides - and we’ve stayed at the hotel attached for its convenience. However, from now on, I think we’ll be staying here instead. While we do have to walk outside to get to the skyway and into the mall, the room was just as nice and so much less expensive. Plus it comes with free breakfast (which was very good) and free parking."

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

10/10 Excellent

"One staff member told me I had to leave the hotel much earlier than I needed to for my flight. Missed breakfast because of it."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Minneapolis-Mall Of America

10/10 Excellent

"The man at the desk was very helpful. I think one of the other people on duty was outside smoking grass….not ok in my book…."

Hyatt House Mall Of America Msp Airport

8/10 Good

"It was nice and clean. We tried to enjoy the pool when it was supposed to be adults only between 10-11 pm and it was full of kids splashing and being loud. Maybe the staff needs to check at 10 pm to make sure the kids leave. We then went out to the fire pit and it wouldn’t light, asked about it at the front desk and were told someone (a driver) would come help us and nobody showed up before we went to our room at midnight. The hotel was very nice, but we were really looking forward to the pool and a hot tub after a long day. There isn’t a hot tub on the property, but it would be nice if there was."

DoubleTree by Hilton Minneapolis Airport, MN

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was kind and helpful. Facilities were spotless. Bed was very comfortable."
