Even though the hot tub was broke(we were let known right at check in) the pools were great! The staff was amazing and our room was great! Parking could be cheaper or free for hotel guests but wasn’t an issue and easy paying for it! Walking bridge to mall was very close as well! Was worried about ...

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Bloomington at Mall of America, MN
The staff here was amazing during our spring break trip. I loved the great luggage carts and all the support of the staff, as I was a little nervous about handling all of our bags etc. on my own. Great price too! We will def be back!

I am diabetic and can only drink diet beverages. I tried 3 times to get Diet Mt Dew and it came out brown, I told two people about it and I’m not sure if it was ever fixed.
