Radisson Blu Mall of America
Staff was always excellent and friendly. The facilities were a bit worn but they were slowly remodeling. You could tell the carpet in the hallway was high quality. We had the executive suite and it was well worth it. My children loved the unique architecture.

Days Hotel by Wyndham University Ave SE
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The TV in the room was small and old with poor picture quality. The rooms need some updates and the free breakfast was yogurt, toast, cereal and oatmeal.
