"Tienen personal bilingüe y el trato es exelente y rapido"

Hampton Inn Suites Minneapolis St Paul Arpt-Mall of America

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, great AC, one of the best breakfasts I've had for a hotel, awesome location, clear to the mall and train stations, only downfall is the lack of a hot tub and you have pay for parking, otherwise highly recommend!!"

Radisson RED Minneapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel has easily become one of my favorites. The aesthetic of the building, both inside and out, is very appealing. The front desk staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. The rooms are clean, spacious, and provide extra goodies such as a water bottle, shower cap, a couple glasses, ice container, and a really nice shower. The price is so reasonable too. I always recommend this hotel to my friends."
