Top South Minneapolis Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Bloomington - Mall of America

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay and great pool for the kids! Breakfast was fantastic😍"

Cambria Hotel Minneapolis Downtown

8/10 Good

"The hotel staff members were really kind and helpful. The hotel is in a bit of a sketchy spot (wouldn’t recommend venturing off behind the hotel), but the hotel felt secure. The hotel room was really clean and neat. It felt very spacious. I personally didn’t utilize the amenities, but the gym had a fair amount of equipment. The bar space was right in the lobby along with the dining area and it did feel a bit crowded. Unfortunate that breakfast was not included. Ended up going out for breakfast instead, which again, the location of the hotel is not too bad and is within walking distance to restaurants/shops/bars, etc. highlight was definitely the king size room and how clean and will maintain the hotel was. Personally, we would wish that the hotel was located in a bit of a safer area downtown."

Radisson Blu Mall of America

8/10 Good

"It was very busy and loud. The bathtub/shower in our room had serious signs of wear on it making it unappealing. The furniture doesn't have any drawers or places to unpack for a long stay. Not enough outlets in a room for two people to charge devices. (3 outlet only one between the bed) The rooms don't give you a sense of equal value to the cost in my opinion. I expected more."
