Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Bloomington at Mall of America, MN
This property is priced extremely reasonably. It’s very basic. Breakfast is okay, could use way more fruit. Rooms need some work, but we expected that with our stay. The hotel did the job, we knew what we were getting. We rated just good because it’s honestly just good.
