Perfect for Girls Shopping Weekend!

Every year I meet a friend in the Twin Cities for 2 daysof Christmas shopping. We loved this location, it's near the Galleria, Southdale, 50th & France, Eden Prarie Center and Mall of America. Nice, quiet location off the beaten path. Very comfortable beds, bathrooom was quite small, but very clean. Would stay here again.

We've been coming to the Twin Cities for so many years now, that we like to look for unique areas to shop. We drover over to Hudson, WI and enjoyed a day of shopping in the old downtown shops.

Great Location

Had a great trip to Minnesota and the location was perfect. Close to the Mall of America and not to far away from downtown which was nice to not have to pay for valet parking!

Weekend get away

The staff was nice at the front desk. They had two large birthday parties that night and these people were very loud and stayed up for hours longer than normal running and slamming doors. We have stayed at this hotel before and have found it much quieter than this trip. They needed more on-duty security that night it looked like to us.

Roomy

Stayed 2 nights, huge room. Did not swim, but looked like a nice pool area. The only complaint was that the shower head was way too low.

Girls shopping weekend

We spent the weekend in Bloomington to shop at MOA. We stayed at the Crowne Plaza that has been and still is being renovated. We were on the 3rd floor. new carpet in the hallway, very nice, but we had stains on the floor in our room so hopefully the rooms will have new flooring as well. Beds very comfortable, room was clean other than the floor. Some of the furniture looked worn, didnt quite match the great beds. Bathroom is quite small, but for the time we spent in the room, was sufficient. The gift bag left on the bed was nice. Elevator very noisy so was glad we were at the other end of the hall. The biggest improvement you could add is a breakfast. Most hotels in this price range offer it. Would stay here again if just for the weekend .
