My Place Hotel - Shakopee MN
Staff was excellent. Very fast check in. Stayed on a Friday night so was a little loud with activity outside. Very close to a busy intersection and freeway and 24/7 McDonald’s Donald’s drive thru. So could here loud accelerations all through the night.

Great modern vibe and the lake view was as pictured. It snowed one of the nights and I flet like we were in a snow globe. Nice amenities with friendly staff and owner. Looks like the beach area is nice with 2 large shared bonfire pits. Highly recommend!! I will be back.
