Just what we needed!

We were looking for something close to family for a reasonable rate. We found it at the Best Western in Eden Prairie. Everything we needed. It is not top shelf, but it was comfortable. The people at the desk were terrific. The pool and hot tub were clean. The sheets on the beds smelled very clean like bleach. The bathroom was very clean. The continental breakfast was average for a quick breakfast to start the day. Nothing luxurious and a terrific price for that area. Close to restaurants and shopping. We will definitely stay there again to visit the family.

Across the street from the Best Western, we had the most delicious dinner at the lower level of the mall just outside of JC Penney called the Great Mandarin restaurant. Best Chinese dinner I have had in years. Wonderful waiter and they catered to us like I have never seen before. Delightful!

Friendly stay

The location is very convenient to shopping and to Hwys 494 and 169. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The continental breakfast is nice. The room was basic and had the essentials. There was a bit of an unpleasant odor coming from the heater. The bed was pretty comfortable. Overall, the stay was just fine and served my needs of basic lodging.

"good deal for big family"

Room was smaller than how it appeared online, so was the lobby. Overall, the kids enjoyed the pool and the exercise room.

Best Western Eden Prairie

Staff was very helpful with everything. The pool was a little small and the decor is very outdated. Nice, clean hotel. Great for our stay.

Great Weekend Getaway

Not being familiar with the area I was a little hesitate to stay here. This hotel is a hidden gem. It's in a safe area with a well lit parking lot. The staff was very friendly, always someone at the front desk. The pool area was clean, hot tub nice and warm. The rooms were quiet and the beds comfortable. If I had to say one negative thing is would be the breakfast area (the food selections are adequate). It's very small and gets congested due to the layout. Go early or plan to take your food back to your room. I will use this hotel again. My daughter left her phone charger in the room. I called and they sent it to us within 4 days.

Time-saving tip: Not Applicable

This hotel is "hidden" somewhat from the street with a small hotel sign near the street that's also hard to see. When you turn on 78th Street, drive all the way down the street.
