Top hotels in North End
Wyndham Bloomington - Mall of America
Pool was good, hot tub was closed which was too bad, my only major issue was no house keeping came into the room the 3 nights we stayed, never replaced towels or linens. Also 5 dollars for a vending machine soda is outrageous. But overall a nice stay with easy access to the Mall of America.

Radisson Blu Mall of America
Yes. Room was a handicapped room, shower only 1 person at a time. Staff should have made us aware and we would've upgraded to a 2 person room. Plenty of shopping. Not pleased 😕

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Mall of America - MSP Airport by IHG
Parking is not available so make sure to reserve in advance or stay somewhere else. Staff not helpful or accommodating. The whole reason we booked this place was so we could stay and leave our vehicle while we went on vacation to only find out, it isn’t available.
