Overall I enjoyed my stay at htis hotel. The star rating should be changed because this hotel is no where near a 3. It is outdated an needs some upgrades.

Positives: The room was spacious.

Negatives: The hotel is outdated.

We got into town early and went to a morning Zumba class at the nearby YMCA. We went to the hotel to see if they had some visitor information so we could locate a place to eat and hang out until check in time. Luckily, a room was ready at 10:00 am. Classes at the YMCA are complimentary with your room key. The staff is friendly and helpful and the breakfast was good too.

Positives: They had a room ready earlier than the 3:00 pm check in time.

Negatives: We thought the shuttle would be for the Mall of America but it was only for the airport.

The lobby decor was clean but very dated...as was the room itself. It worked, but certainly no great amenities to speak of...just an average hotel with nothing outstanding to speak of...

Positives: Friendly staff.

Negatives: I expected better quality inside.

This was a good place for us, the bedrooms being separate from the living space was perfect with small kids, we could put the kids to bed and come to bed later. The furniture in our room was getting worn out and the dark carpet showed the dust in the corners. But overall this was a very nice place and for the money we didn't break our budget and were able to do more things. The breakfast was also very good.

Positives: Breakfast and friendly staff.

Negatives: Little worn.

This was a nice, clean hotel. It shows pictures of the pool and a big play area, but fail to mention that it is a city pool and the kids play area is run by the city and costs $6 per child to play. So the pictures of the hotel ate very deciving. The pool was free with the hotel stay but wasn't very child friendly. Had no life jackets, only exercise pool things. So not so fun for the kids.

Positives: It was clean, the beds were comfortable.

Negatives: The pool was a public city pool, which did not supply life jackets. And the pool was 3.7' so my kids had to use noodles to hold themselves up with.

Friendly staff. Stay included dinner and continental breakfast. Using the pool was a bit different because it was shared with the City of Edina. But it was still nice.

Positives: Helpful staff.

Negatives: Awkward set up of room.

My husband and I liked that the room had the bed separate from the pull out couch (sliding wall doors) so we could stay up after our young daughter went to sleep. The kitchen had glasses, plates, silverware and even a dishwasher, which housekeeping used to do our dishes when we were out. The Thursday evening meal of soup and sandwiches was just right. We spent three nights here and it was a real bargain. They could have used an integrated pool and another elevator.

<BR/>

Positives: Small but complete kitchen area.

Negatives: Pool was inconvenient, not family friendly.

Room was very nice and the continental breakfast was spectacular. Kids were barely able to use the pool because of the limited hours.

Positives: Nice room with Kitchen.

Negatives: Pool hours &amp; no hot tub.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 31 Dec 2009 rated 10 out of 10.

Loved the kitchen as we are on controlled diets and love being able to fix our own meals while traveling. Wal-mart groceries were close by. The hot continental breakfast was also terrific each morning.

Positives: Close to Mall of America and with the fitness center for a nice week-end retreat.

Negatives: The hours of the pool and fitness center conflicted with our other activities so could use at all.
