Hyatt Regency Bloomington - Minneapolis
No ding for a minor cleaning thing or the wrapped plastic water cups. Bed and room were very comfortable. Only 2 miles from MSP and free shuttle. Nice little bar, restaurant with limited menu. Nice coffee shop just across the street.

Radisson Blu Mall of America
The room was very clean. The chairs are old with worn spots; not the most inviting for an expensive room. Everything else was very welcoming.

Hot tub was under consyruction even though website said it was supposed to be completed weeks before our stay. Bed was rock hard. Parking lot wasn't plowed and barely driveable. I will never stay here again.
