Nice place

Check in was quick and the stay there was good. Farther away from Minneapolis and Mall of America area than I was hoping for, but it was a good value overall.

Very Comfortable Hotel

Just returned from taking our 16 year old daughter and 3 of her friends school shopping to MOA. I like staying in Eagan, because it's a quiet location. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Our rooms were very spacious and clean, and the beds were extremely comfortable. Wish they had a pool, but otherwise, enjoyed the hotel very much. Would stay here again!

Family reunuion

We went to a family reunion which started friday night at a sport bar,a picnic on sat. and a gathering on sunday at one of the relatives homes.The staff at Best Western shuttled us to the sport bar and the picnic,as well as the Mall of America, and were the most accomodating and friendly people. Our group had 5 rooms and we all agreed we would definatly stay there again if in the twin cities.

ok

First time in Minnesota and our last.in order to get to the attractions you have to get on the freeway too much and too little to do.the hotel was ok but I've stayed at better places. The beds were horrible and hard that my husband and I woke up with back pain.breakfast got boring after a couple of days, they seem to serve the same thing everyday.
