Top South Minneapolis Hotel Reviews

Hyatt House Mall Of America Msp Airport

8/10 Good

"Everything was absolutely perfect with the exception of the woman at the front desk who told us we were on the wrong place for the shuttle. So she directed us to a whole other place, only to be told by the shuttle driver that we needed to go back to where we were originally. There were two of us and six suitcases. It was ridiculous. Thankfully the shuttle driver was kind enough to come get us. Otherwise it was perfect!"

The Royal Sonesta Minneapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice hotel! Me and my daughter felt very safe and the staff was so accommodating! The hotel is within walking distance to the target center and lots of restaurants. We took the blue line train to and from the airport and also to the mall of America! Very short walk to the train station from the hotel!"

Mystic Lake Casino Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel lobby was still under construction but staff was very accommodating and nice. We booked 3 rooms and staff were able to give us two adjoining rooms and the other one was on the same floor. The new Hop House is a good restaurant and we had 10 people and had a good table to watch Monday night game. We always book Mystic lake before flying out the next morning from airport. It’s very convenient and fun gathering there at Mystic."
