Emery, Autograph Collection Hotel
We chose to park in the garage across the street. No one informed us that the skybridge was closed on weekends which made accessing our car a big problem. Your staff should be fully aware and competent on how a guest can gain entry to the garage on weekends.

Wyndham Bloomington - Mall of America
Pool was good, hot tub was closed which was too bad, my only major issue was no house keeping came into the room the 3 nights we stayed, never replaced towels or linens. Also 5 dollars for a vending machine soda is outrageous. But overall a nice stay with easy access to the Mall of America.

Radisson Blu Mall of America
Yes. Room was a handicapped room, shower only 1 person at a time. Staff should have made us aware and we would've upgraded to a 2 person room. Plenty of shopping. Not pleased 😕
