Great Wolf Lodge Bloomington
"We had a great time there and the app made it so much easier. Even had a live chat so that maintenance could come by and show me how to work one of the lights. 😄 The only downside was that the pool closed at 8 pm, wish it was 9 like so many others. But overall, great!"

Hyatt Place Minneapolis Airport-South
"Nice location, great room, the hallways and elevator were ridiculously hot. The lobby was under construction (I hope there was no sign) paint missing etc. I struggled with breakfast, food was very lacking, and there was limited seating and every single table was covered in dirty dishes and scraps. ..."
