When I made the reservation the Hilton site claimed the rooms had a Keurig coffee maker but when I got to the room it didn't have one.

My first (and likely last) Home2 experience…read more Have you ever noticed how a poor first impression will make every subsequent flaw seem that much worse? So it was with my recent stay at the Home2 Suites in Bloomington, MN. I tried to check in via the Hilton app but got neither a response nor a virtual key, so I went to the front desk where the front desk clerk, Natalie, was very helpful. She said that the app sometimes "seems to get overwhelmed" and gave me two keycards. Opening the door to my room on the top floor, I was greeted by a wave of hot, humid air. The thermostat was set to 65 but it was 75 in the room. I also noticed the footrest by the sofa, which was badly worn and had what looked like a cigarette burn. It could have been sitting on the side of a road with a "Free!" sign attached to it. Back down to the front desk where Natalie explained the thermostats were motion-activated ("more sustainable," she said) but told me how I could override that, which I did. After setting up my computer at the work station, I sat down into a task chair that was far too low to allow me to work comfortably. I thought an adjustment would fix things, but unfortunately it was already as high as it would go. Back down to the front desk where the clerk apologized, but said all their other task chairs were the same style, so it wasn't likely that changing out the chair would help. Sigh. Cranking out a little work before hitting the sack, I found two documents I wanted to print out, so I copied them to my thumb drive and headed down to the "business center," only to find that the hotel had put physical locks on each and every USB port. Again, the front desk clerk apologized but wasn't able to solve the issue for me. My work-around was to email the documents to myself and print them from my email but I really don't like the security risk of logging onto (and putting my passwords into) public computers; that's why I carry the USB drive. Another sigh. Morning came, along with a welcome a shower before breakfast. However, the water saving feature reduced the stream to little more than a trickle - a trickle I stood under far longer than if I'd had a robust stream of water that would have allowed me to be in and out quickly and still feel completely clean. Heading to the sink to brush my teeth, I spotted someone's hair in the sink. Long and black, I knew it wasn't mine. The included breakfast on the first day was the high point of my brief stay. Good selection of both hot and cold items, and a chance to see the other guests. That made it pretty clear that this hotel (and probably the Home2 brand) skews younger. And the way they label things around the hotel reflects that. Three cereal choices were labeled "Sweet," (Fruit Loops) "Heathier" (Raisin Bran) and "Healthiest!" (Granola) We can debate whether high-fat, high calorie granola is really healthier than raisin bran (especially when served with skim milk) but to me, the labels felt like a parent telling their child what's best for them. Maybe it's a generational thing, but I know enough to make - and own - my own choices. The location is convenient to lots of shops, stores and restaurants and not far from Highway 35W, so in all, it's probably fine if you're just on a vacation or only need to check a couple of emails at the end of the day but if you're a serious road warrior and often have to use the hotel as your de facto office, this one isn't the place you'll want to be.

Our room was freshly updated, spotless, and we were lucky to check in early thanks to accommodating staff. The onsite restaurant/bar and easy access to mall dining make meals convenient, and the airport shuttle is a great perk. The layout of the hallways can be a little disorienting, and I wish microwaves were available in the rooms -- especially for a quick weekend of leftovers and convenience. Overall, a comfortable and well-located stay!

That being said our room was about a mile away from the elevator which was horrible after walking 10 miles in the mall. The room was also kindof gross.

The staff was very, very kind. No one on their phones, the picture of professional. Very classy people working here.

The atmosphere was quiet but still comfortable, and the staff truly went above and beyond. They were attentive, welcoming, and made the best espresso martini I've ever had! It was perfectly balanced, smooth, and strong in all the right ways. Even better, the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the quality of food, drinks, and overall experience...especially inside The Westin Edina Galleria! Highly recommend checking it out when it comes back next year or for the next pop-up!

On another occasion I brought up to staff that there was dirt being tracked in the stairway and onto the landing area of the carpet and it was taken care of by the time I got back a couple hours later. The room, one bedroom, was nicely laid out. Bath vanity nightlight is a nice touch. Nice, hot water too. It was really cool to have two types of pillows on the bed and the pillowcases actually tell you if they're firm or soft. Bed was very comfortable. I found the room to be quiet other than a little road noise. In the little kitchen, it would be nice to have something other than powdered creamer for coffee (could have the little containers of creamer that are available at the breakfast counter. And the only spoons were large spoons. Breakfast had some nice options with staff constantly refreshing items. The make your own waffles are always a treat. Only a couple of negatives. The Monday-Wednesday "social" is a nice idea, but it's really just one or two little nibbles. Nothing else. And the with bathroom fan is very noisy. I did mention this to staff. Overall a great option in the area.

We appreciated the filtered water throughout the hotel. That's one thing that is always missing and we forget to bring.

Thanks to Hotels.com, where I booked my hotel room at the Hampton Inn Bloomington East. Hampton Inn is a good name hotel brand that's owned by Hilton hotels, I believe. Fast forward when I arrived here via Uber from the Mall of America after a day of shopping and things. I stayed here for a night and it was comfortable and pleasant. I arrived here around 4pm on a Friday afternoon and got checked in. The front desk counter Service here was pretty good and got checked in within five minutes. The check out service was non existent since I left the hotel around 6am and there was a hotel key lockbox, so I just dropped the hotel key in there and checked out the complementary hotel breakfast before I was on my way. It was only one night and enjoyed a few of the hotel's amenities, namely the ice machine and the aforementioned complimentary breakfast. I choose the hotel because of its proximity to Normandale Lake Park, which was around a mile walk from the hotel. I enjoyed the lobby and it was fresh and clean. The hotel room I got was a king bed. I probably paid about $149/night but that was okay, since I wanted to be close to the park. The hotel room itself was good and typical. It was clean and had all the basic amenities most hotels in the industry has. It was a typical hotel room that met expectations and was a good stay. Everything worked in the room, including the TV and the shower. No problems during my stay and it was good. The overall experience here at this Hampton Inn hotel in Bloomington, MN was good and nice. I feel like Hampton Inn is a good place to choose for your hotel needs. The brand is owned by Hilton, I believe, so you'll be in good hands. The room itself had a mini fridge and a microwave in the room. Getting else was standard. It is cool to be lounging in the room, eating dinner, while watching TV. Something cool and nice about it while traveling away from home. The room itself was clean and everything worked the way it should be. The complimentary breakfast was hit or miss. It just depends on what you enjoy in a good breakfast. I did enjoy unlimited self service orange juice though. Had about 5 cups of it before I left the hotel to Normandale Lake Park. The king bed was quite nice and very comfortable. Got in a decent amount of sleep and felt moderately Refreshed for the day ahead. Definitely enjoyed the stay here at this Hampton Inn location in Bloomington, MN. Whether your stay in Minneapolis is business or pleasure, consider this Hampton Inn hotel to be your place to stay and thrive. While Hampton Inn does cover the basics of a full service hotel, it doesn't have everything like many of the fancy ones do. Prices here are reasonable per night and the location is in a nice neighborhood away from the downtown area of Minneapolis. This Hampton Inn hotel is located in Minneapolis, MN. It's about a 15 ish minute drive from the Mall of America in Bloomington. Like many hotels in the industry, they accept major credit cards thru direct bookings on their website or through 3rd party websites like Hotels.com. They are physically located at 1234 Main Street, Bloomington, MN. As far as parking goes, they have parking here for hotel guests. Not sure if they do long term parking for other people but probably a money make for certain. Not sure about Minneapolis' public transportation options, but best bet would be to check out what routes are needed to arrive at this hotel, whether it's coming from the airport or wherever your origin destination may be. The hotel is in a nice quiet neighborhood of Minneapolis, so you can be sure that you have a good reason to come to this Hampton Inn and have an enjoyable stay, whenever the need arises. Consider the Hampton Inn hotel as your home away from home when you visit the Hampton Inn. It was a nice stay and hope to return again when my future travels permit me to do so. 5.0 stars for the overall experience, namely the location to Normandale Lake Park. 4.0 stars for the service and 4.5 stars for the room comfort.
