Top notch hotel Staff was extremely nice Room was equipped with Stove top, refrigerator, dishwasher, real silverware, dinnerware and glasses

Room was very clean Beds were extremely comfortable Had a shower to die for We had access to amenities at no extra charge Provided a very healthy breakfast, fresh fruit, yogart, bagels, cereal, oatmeal, etc Highly recommend staying there

First, when we were asked about the quality of our stay by the gentleman checking us out, the concierge (blonde lady) next to him scolded us when we simply asked a question A few other things disappointed us There was a pool of blood in the pool room

My wife kindly let the concierge desk know about it In the 30 minutes we were in the pool area it was never cleaned Then, on the Sunday morning, we came down for breakfast and there were 25 airport cargo employees who came in off their shift and wiped out the breakfast buffet And they were rude I get it They were staying at the hotel too But the hotel was aware of their schedule and did not plan for it It would be like a restaurant taking a reservation for a large party and not preparing a head of time thus disrupting their service availability to the other patrons No restaurant would do that out of fear of alienating the other patrons And that is what happened Other guests, who like ourselves were enjoying a vacation at a nicer hotel, were thrust into what felt like a workplace cafeteria It ruined our experience And from the comments we heard of the very shocked other guests, it ruined their experience too

Pat Simmons

Great new hotel right across the street from Mall of America A fantastic restaurant 100 feet away named Hazelwood Food and Drink Rooms are spacious and are made for long stays with kitchens and refrigerators

On site lounge and grab and go breakfast Only draw back is being close to the airport, the takeoffs and landings can get a tad loud at night and the morning

Customer service was exceptional I tried to get the women’s name that helped us check in and couldn’t get it But she was wonderful and made my daughters birthday stay feel very special

So awesomeThe room was beautiful, unique and very cleanWe loved the hotel was connected to the mall We never had to leave that was super coolOne thing that I thought was the pool was supposed to be salt water but we smelled a lot like chlorine Not a big deal the pool was also fun and loved the tables we got to have dinnerWe will absolutely be back!

Mark Drury

Hotel is very nice Radisson needs to focus on building more ‘Blu’ hotels in the USA Staff was extremely friendly, great shuttle service to and from the airport and local businesses

It’s attached to the Mall so easy access to shopping The on-site bar was excellentThe rooms were very nice but the walls were very thin; could hear doors closing down the hall and the loud TV from the next room over Overall a good stay

Denise Morgan

We came with our son for spring break The lobby is so cool and comfy The rooms were fun and funky

The bed was a little firm for me but the pillows were perfect Note that the room service menu is on the TV along with other information We kept looking for a book The in- house restaurant, Firehouse Grill is so yummy I loved that the hotel was attached to the Mall of America, it was so convenient My only complaints are that there are not many channels to watch on TV, unless you want to pay for on demand, so we just streamed from our phone The main chair in our room was stained with ink, a drink of some sort, and full of dirt The rest of the room was very clean though and we spent most of our time exploring so not a big deal The shower was a rain head with a hand attachment as well Heaven! The pool is nice but not very big It fills up fast and there is also no hot tub Room service was awesome Would definitely come again I wish I took better pics

A decent hotel with ok beds The kids enjoyed the small pool while we went in the hot tub to relax from a long day Hot breakfast is provided

They had scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, muffins, bagels, toast, cereal, waffles, etc Also provided, was a variety of juices as well as coffee & tea One thing I noticed that I would change is that they should leave the hot water dispenser on for those who enjoy an evening cup of tea After a soak in the hot tub, I went to make a cup of tea only to realize that the water was cold Overall, I’d stay again We had no real issues

Yolanta Holmes

Room was large and clean; children loved the pool and hot tub; breakfast buffet selection was very extensive, and the manager was great: I had a work meeting and planned to dial in from the business center off the reception, but he invited me to use the private board room instead An excellent stay all round, and we will definitely return

Sadae D

Very friendly staff especially one of the ladies at front desk, wish I’d caught her nameOur room was super clean and fully equipped kitchenette! There was a very nice continental breakfast spread in the morning (with fresh fruits) We were able to walk from here to Mall of America pretty easily

There’s a really nice gym here which I took full advantage of and basically got to use all to myself since there was nobody in there 2 of the 3 times I went to use! 😀

Charlie Mader

Rooms are very noisy I stay in hotel rooms 10 to 15 nights per month for work and these are some of the thinnest walls and floors I’ve ever experienced I could clearly hear people conversing in the adjacent room and every step people took in the room above

Another negative is the slow and unreliable WiFiOther than that it is a nice, clean property with friendly staff, but if your primary goal is a quiet night of sleep it probably isn’t the best choice

Brad Beggs

Nice, newer hotel across the street from MOA and a five-minute drive or 15-minute light-rail trip to the airport Parking is freeRooms include a small kitchen with a real stove and oven

The pool is nice, there are a couple of outdoor seating areas, and breakfast offers a nice variety of warm options like sandwiches, omelets, waffles, and oatmealIt is very well kept and managed, with excellent checkin service from Jon

Rooms were clean Was stuck on the first floor right next to the elevator I did not think it would be a big deal but the elevator kept waking me up I thought gold/plat members got upgraded rooms…

Bumping to 4 based on the excellent breakfast They had egg cheese and sausage sandwiches in a biscuit or bagel Both were good along with a variety of good choices (fresh fruit yogurt oatmeal etc)

Michelle Salley

Erne and her staff are GREAT!! The breakfast was fully stocked (we had over 40 teen boys) and delicious! Rooms were clean and spacious Outside grill was awesome to have! Lobby was clean and inviting and Rueben, that is the man!! Thank you to all the staff for a great stay!! The Holt family thanks you for being so helpful & allowing us to have some fun!

Great stay, super clean The restaurant was amazing Also, we hosted a breakfast party in one of the ballrooms and our server, Elsa, was beyond phenomenal

She went to every length to make sure our wants were satisfied, even thinking of things we didn’t ask for to make our party run smooth Wish I could find people like her for all our events! If you host an event, definitely ask for her to be your room server! Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

J S K

We had a fantastic stay over the weekend We were there in celebration of our daughters fifth birthday and the staff made it so special for her at every turn They even delivered a birthday amenity which included a JW teddy bear with a card signed by all the hotel staff for her

How thoughtful! Ben at the front desk at Terry at the bar were awesome along with many other staff we interacted with but didn’t catch their names Seriously one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at recently Thanks so much and we will be back soon!

Hannah Turley

The staff is friendly and attentive We ate breakfast at Cedar and Stone nearly every morning of our 5-night stay and were impressed with the quality and portions My husband is Marriott platinum elite and we were upgraded to a suite, which was a nice surprise

We enjoyed being able to relax in the living room area of our room Most importantly to me is that even though the hotel got pretty full during our mid-July stay, I never heard a peep from another room next to or above us I appreciated the ability to peacefully rest on my vacation without hearing noise from other rooms We will be back!

We had an excellent stay We had three rooms for three nights as we were in town for NCAA womens basketball championships Upon checking, the desk agent was very friendly and quickly assisted us with checking into our rooms

We loved the suites we were upgraded to The hotel property is beautiful and the suites were very well equipped It was nice having a full sized fridge Parking is free, convenient and plentiful The server in the breakfast area, Chris, is so friendly and attentive to every need He’s doing a great job in the breakfast areaI would highly recommend this hotel and would absolutely stay here again

Danielle Wilmot

Comfortable beds, nice lobby and outdoor space Friendly staff Building is older, though, and some updates are needed

Faucets and door handles got stuck frequently, AC in room was very noisy And while staff were nice, they did not make any extra efforts to accommodate requests (would not extend a later checkout or let us use conference rooms to work after checking out before catching an evening flight, would not get us a bottle of wine to take up to the room 2 minutes after bar closed, etc – most Marriott properties we’ve stayed at before have had zero issues accommodating similar requests) Food at the restaurant was also pretty hit or miss – flatbread was good, shrimp rolls were awful Overall fine, not amazing

This is an excellent hotel locate in one of the most affluent suburbs of Minneapolis The hotel is conveniently located only 15-30 minutes from the airport (depending on traffic), and within walking distance from two malls, one of them being, I think, the first mall in AmericaThe lobby is a bit impersonal but the staff is very friendly and professional

The check-in process was fast and simple, and the information about the hotel was genuine and easy to understand, not the “commercial subtitle style info”The hotel features a restaurant, a great bar, a gym, and a pool And, of course also conference facilitiesI was upgraded and had a fantastic room with views in two directions The room was very clean, and there were helpful amenities I was surprised, however, that the hotel doesn’t have complimentary slippers That is odd for a hotel of this standardThe breakfast is very good, and if you are in a hurry you can get a coffee and a snack from the bar in the morning Also, there is a Starbucks right next door and it opens at 6:30 so you have plenty of optionsWe didn’t have dinner at the hotel so we can’t rate the restaurant, but others said it was quite good However, if you prefer to eat at another restaurant you can just walk across the street to the mall, which features (at least) two very nice restaurantsIf we come back to MSP this will definitely be one of the options

L,MD

Great location! Located in one of the most opulent suburbs in the Twin Cities!Attentive staff…very friendly and accommodating!Atmosphere is very inviting and the rooms were attractively clean!Great location as well as this property is across the street from both the Southdale Center and the Galleria malls Perfect for eating and shopping!

Michelle Merson

The front desk person by the name of Julius could be the rudest person in hospitality that I have ever met He told me to stay on the club level and explained all the amenities but forgot to mention the club level didn’t have the amenities available on the weekend ( not even coffee) So I asked him later in my stay why he “left out” that important fact and he was unapologetic and rude and called me horrible names even though I was asking a reasonable question

I would be very careful of this man who, in my opinion, has a couple of screws loose to become un hinged the way he did Westin should be ashamed of this employee and hopefully will not expose future guests to him

Does have truck parking but limited so get here early ( park on backside of hotel against the curb )… Gotta say this is one of the nicest places I’ve stayed at in its class of hotels I stay in one every night and this has to be my favorite

Staff is superb and very nice Has free laundry, dvd’s you can take to your room, a lending locker with things like air fryers, games, etc & a area to get all of your snacks & drinks

Daniel Ballard

There are several other hotels in this area but I would never even consider staying anywhere else (and I have tried a few of those other hotels, by the way, because I used to travel to Lakeville fairly often) For me, the difference is the people who work there–they go above and beyond with each request I especially like Mitch and Deann; they work the front desk area and are both professional and friendly

The rooms are very nice and come with small kitchens (full-sized fridge, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, and a small stove with two burners), which helps you save money if you’re not too big on eating out every single meal I even had a couple of lady bugs in my room, wandering around the window sill I liked seeing them when I came back from work each day; lady bugs indoors are supposed to be good luck (and they didn’t seem to be causing too much trouble) There’s also a nice gym there with cardio equipment and free laundry service I definitely recommend staying here

I really wanted to leave a 5 star review, but couldn’t The rooms are spacious and modern The breakfast is good

I can’t give it 5 stars because of the atrium noise Guests are to follow the quiet rules beginning at 9:00 There was a wedding reception that was still going strong at 11:00 The reception was in a ballroom/meeting room, but some of the the reception guests used the atrium They were loud Very loud If paying guests are to follow the quiet hours, then should reception guests

Rochelle Burger

The bathrooms are small, mildew on the ceiling in the shower Needs an update and added ventilation to it The deck door froze over and once it warmed up it melted to the bottom

No drainage holes The living area is nice and roomy Had a room with two queen beds Did not use the pool, no sitting area (table/chairs) The attached restaurant has really good food, will definitely return for that

Alan Duck

Had an incredible experience at the Embassy during a recent post-Covid work trip The hotel made hospitality feel like the good old days Front desk was very swift and attentive

However, the bar was set in the restaurant this trip Shannon the manager had a stacked house and her staff ran the place like pros Shannon cultivated a connection with many guests, despite how busy they were Azure, a new waitress, was equally exceptional Service was fast and my entire Corporate team will now know this is the place to stay on our next visit Highly recommended

This was a great hotel

room 415 was perfect for my two daughters to sleep on the queen bed and I (mom) slept on the pull-out sofa (which really wasn’t bad at all) Then, I had the bathroom, office, kitchen, sofa bed, and access to the main door all to myself I loved the pocket door to the bedroom where my girls were sleeping I was able to work late into the night and I got up early, ate breakfast, showered, and worked some more in the morning before they woke up The best part of breakfast: they have a waffle maker with two unique toppings: cool whip and canned cherries YUM!

Joe Koken

Have stayed often over past 5 years given location convenience to children Quality continues to decline, always short with staff but keep raising prices Checked in last night no amenities such as soap, shampoo, TV didn’t work (next day they determined missing cables) and temp at 60 degrees in room

Heat does work but took 30 minutes for room to be acceptable Called next day for help and desk said it would be awhile as she was only one working If their were other alternatives in area would stay there Bar attached to hotel is only bright spot…

Paul Ferguson

The staff were super friendly and I felt the rooms were cleanI arrived late and was put in 101 The handicap accessible room

The entire room is like an after thought full of old furniture and the disproportionate ceiling height gives it a strange stretched lookOverall my stay was okay I would have liked to have a normal room

Was in between house closings and needed somewhere to stay for 2 weeks with my cats The assistant manager Chris was accomodating and helpful when making the reservations The entire staff was consistently super helpful and friendly my entire stay

The room needed some love for sure The bathroom door didn’t shut all the way or lock, there were several blood stains on the comforter, and i had to wash all of the dishes because they were dirtyIt was quiet, peaceful and in a convenient locationOverall I was happy with my stay and would stay there again if needed If you need somewhere to stay with your [well behaved] cats, I definitely recommend this place!

Jadyn D

Very okay experience Let’s start with the positives:-clean-gluten free muffins at breakfast! Free breakfast!-nice layout of rooms – just enough space-proximity to the interstate and Minneapolis are both very good-nice location with stores and restaurants close byCons:-beds are very uncomfortable-noisy – you can hear people above you just walking and people in the hallway Not super uncommon but just something to note

You can’t hear conversations so that’s good-limited parking-poorly marked front office

Penny Johnson

My son is a traveling healthcare worker and has been staying at this hotel for 5 months and every weekend they rerun his room charges and charges him the full rate instead of the one they quoted him so his bank account is overdrawn each week until it gets straightened out He can’t buy food or gas or pay bills until they fix it I would never recommend this hotel to anyone

Fantastic service Manager of the hotel was able to have all of our family in a suite together and went above and beyond to make this happen That goes for everyone else who works here from staff in the restaurant to front desk and room service

Has two swimming pools and although we didn’t use these during our stay, could see they were very popular Hotel is right on top of Mall of America with easy access to the shops and amusement parks Added bonus is its just a few minutes from the airport by car

I stayed here because I need to charge my car Typically I go to a place, plug in- once it works, I get the room Never had any issue doing so,but here, you need a room key to charge

Seemed reasonableI go in, explain I need to charge as a condition of using this hotel The front desk says it worksIt does not work They are charging for an amenity they do not provide, and will not give money back on the roomGo somewhere else if you need a charge

Very clean and conveniently located hotel just to the south of Minneapolis andminutesaway from The Mall of America The property is next to a fun restaurant Clive’s Roadhouse and a Denny’s There is also a gas station at the end of the street

They feature an above average breakfast buffet with eggs, rotating meat, cereals, breakfast pastries and fruits You definitely could do a lot worse with your choice of a hotel I have stayed here multiple times without an issue The staff is always friendly

I normally am not one to write reviews but I can’t let this one slide Michelle at the front desk gave us exceptional service!!! She went above and BEYOND to make our stay the best possible She even put together a bag full of breakfast food for our family since we have to leave by 2:30am for the airport

I travel A LOT and I can honestly say this is the best hotel stay I’ve ever had Rooms were super clean, staff was friendly and so helpful and we had a perfect stay! I will definitely be booking here the next time I’m in the Twin Cities!!! Thank you Michelle for making it such a great stay!

WOW, what a great stay I was here for approximately 3 months and I am obligated to this post to give the most accurate opinion of my experience while I visited the beautiful state of Minnesota 1st off, I usually stay at a low cost extended stay to keep my overhead low, however when you factor in all that this place has to offer it is actually cheaper

Beautiful rooms, comfortable beds, great amenities and most of all, a fantastic staff! From the manager to the grounds keeper this place gives its all everyday Breakfast every morning and dinner 3 times a week, yea this was a total win for me Oh and if you want a good drink and awesome wings see Sue next door at the cute and quaint bar, tell em lil Johnny from Louisiana sent ya for a good laugh Big thanks to Michelle and her wonderful crew for a experience that should be expected at every hotel

We had a great time The kids loved the water park We all loved the bowling

My granddaughter enjoyed all the dance parties They also did the ropes course and the rock Climbing It’s very expensive though If you don’t mind spending the money you’ll definitely have a good The room was nice but the a/c was very loud The breakfast buffet was very good and reasonable

Bella Linda

So much fun here!!! I highly recommend this resort Family friendly!!! I’ve gone to family resorts and the people working aren’t family friendly This resort definitely provided great customer service

The water park is so much fun! Our day passed by so fastI saw some reviews and I was slightly nervous, but I have to say this place was wonderful!

We went up to the hotel for a midweek getaway and everything worked out nicely We were easily able to check in Our room was ready to go and clean

A couple knocks I have with the rooms are that there are no freezers in the fridges and the window shades get pretty bright when that summer sunrise rolls in early Breakfast is not included but if you fit the bill, it’s a nice buffet to start the day The water park was a lot of fun with very good lifeguards Because it was the middle of the week, it didn’t seem too packed in regards to people Everything in the pool seemed clean Overall, it was a fun stay and I would recommend it to others!

It’s everything a hotel should be and it has a very cozy/ familiar atmosphere in here but my only problem are the floors I understand at a location like this that it would be very hard to keep them always in shape but there was a lot of trash and dirt near the entrance halls and our room had some faint red stains on the floor along with other colorful marks on the carpet Besides that I would recommend it here and you will feel safe staying overnight + the location is very convenient and the staff that we talked to were nice

Andrea Brandt

Very nice, cozy hotel It was very convenient for us I parked my car at the hotel and just walked across the street to mall of america

They have a really nice big fireplace when you first walk in They did serve breakfast on the weekend I was there until 1030am, and had a nice selection to choose from Staff was very friendly I locked the room key in the room 3 times and the staff didn’t seem bothered by it I would definitely still there again

Jamie Steinkamp

Everybody there was incredibly friendly and helpful Check in and check out was easy Having IHOP, TGI Friday’s, abs mall of America right there were very convenient

The pools were my only complaint They were disgusting, dirty and filled with algae I let my son get in once, because I promised him he could swim before I saw how gross they were He was so slimy from the algae after just being in 10 minutes he asked to be done If the pools were fixed, it would easily be a 5 star!

Beautiful hotel!We only stayed 1 night but we will definitely be back!Rooms were super nice!We did the pick up breakfast as the restaurant or the room service is only open certain times and we missed it With covid room service I believe is not an optionLoved the free parking and the shuttle to the mall!Staff was super friendly!

Arnold Heney

No television remote in the room the first night but the front desk staff handled it quickly the next morning My wife asked for more coffee cups the second night but they were never delivered Club access was available however the espresso machine did not operate, and the meals were available thru a voucher downstairs in the market

Pool was small but nice we were hoping for a hot tub to relax in after spending the day at Mall of America We were happy with the proximity to the mall

Michael Moses

Nice digs for an airport stopover Right on the train line so don’t even worry about taking a shuttle, and technically you could just take the train into the city and not need a car at allSeems fairly new

A bit noisy in the hallways from guest room doors opening and closingCould use a bigger lobbyRooms felt modern and typical of a Hyatt Regency
