The Royal Sonesta Minneapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, pleasant staff, great restaurant. Just be sure to ask for a room with natural light - friend of mine only had view of the inner atrium!"

Holiday Inn : Bloomington W MSP Airport Area by IHG

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel with helpful staff. Great location. A little worn out: the carpet is getting little bit spotted, a sink was not draining. But the shower and the tub were great. The room with two qeen beds was small. But clean! Very clean and comfortable beds. One night stay. Two friends."
