Wyndham Bloomington - Mall of America
Clean. Rooms were quiet, once the door was closed to the balcony, you could not hear the pool area which was nice. The toddler area was pretty cold and the hot tubs jets were not working but those were minor and overall it was a nice stay and it was good to be so close to the mall. Not sure if it ...

Great, except for the restaurant server that on Christmas Day was very rude. Don’t even come check on us even tell us anything about the buffet. He was just very rude didn’t even tell me where to pay and then gets mad at me because I was at the front desk and somebody else had to grab him
