Top hotels in Mill District
Wyndham Bloomington - Mall of America
Radisson Blu Mall of America
Clean room, friendly/supportive staff and proximity. Minuses: pool closed on site (I learned about it at check in, however I may have missed something), no microwave in the room nor on each floor for accessibility (at least 1 on each floor would help) and I had to request housekeeping. Not too happy ...
