Pool was great for my grandkids. Hot tub was down didn’t get proper notification. Other than that it was close to Mall within walking distance. First time in Minnesota I would go back to this Place

A very pleasant stay. A good property at a reasonable price Staff was very friendly and the overall experience very positive. lobby restaurant was also a good experience. I did miss having a desk and chair in the room. It was difficult to do work without a space.

Embassy Suites by Hilton Minneapolis Airport
Room was clean, vouchers for drinks and breakfast, and was the perfect stop on our trip! Only hiccup was too many kiddos in the pool to enjoy it! Maybe longer adult pool hours! But that is just me being picky!
