Hyatt Regency Bloomington - Minneapolis
Thought the hotel was decent. Rooms were quite dusty though, and the one working elevator is an absolute nightmare. The 15$ a day parking is also quite ridiculous. Not like you are staying in downtown Minneapolis! Other than that, hotel was fine. Was quiet for as busy as it was.
