The hotel is basic, but in a convenient location for the Airport and Mall of America. The hotel provides a free shuttle service, which was a big selling point for me. The driver on shift would take residents anywhere they needed to go within 5 miles, and were on hand to ask transport advice as well as about the local area.
I’m a smoker, and spent a lot of time relaxing by the lake at the side of the hotel, however I believe there should be seating available, even just a bench or two, so that residents can relax and enjoy the view with a coffee. I’m disabled, and so were other residents I met, and I think it would be a courtesy to provide basic seating.
I would like to thank Tim, John, Joe and the other staff for all the help and advice you provided.
