My only regret is not staying here longer. I wouldve skipped the marathon in Duluth to spend more time here!!!

First of all I'm a big Marriott fan and bonvoy business member etc. I used points to secure my room…read moreas it was only a one night stay before we flew out the next morning, early. I did not get any upgrade and I'm titanium elite, so that was unexpected. My room was ok. The towels were over washed and you just dread drying off to that sandpaper. They really need to up their towel game and provide luxuriously soft towels. The shower is great and then the towels just suck. The bed was comfy but the headboard had some serious damage. The coating was rubbing off which became sticky and was trapping my hair and pulling it out. The room would not cool. We arrived at 6pm and the thermostat was set to 72 yet the room was 77?!? We set it to 66. At 3am it was only 72. By 6am it was only 71. The AC kept turning on and off. I don't know why it turned off when it NEVER reached goal temp. We had dinner in the restaurant which will be a separate review. However- the lobby restaurant is what you use when you're dining- and the bathroom was absolutely ATROCIOUS. It was so bad- I went straight to the hotel desk to inform them of my disgust. The women's bathroom had three overflowing trash cans- filled with paper towels and fast food/takeout cups and bags etc. The first stall was in use, so I tried the second one- nope. FULL OF DIARRHEA. The third stall, ALSO FULL OF DIARRHEA. The fourth stall had a toilet seat cover on and was full of used toilet paper. Why are the automatic flushers not flushing? The last stall also had some lingering toilet paper but at least did not have chili corn brown diarrhea in it. I was afraid to touch anything since there's a diarrhea epidemic on the news. So you can see why I ran straight to the desk to let them know their cleaning was non existent. What a complete lack of oversight by the management. Is this the reputation that JW Marriott wants??? I let them know the bathroom was a health hazard and an emergency and needed attention right away. Their apology was weak, saying I could go upstairs to the second floor to use the restroom. I told them I'd rather go up to my room on the 14th floor. Their response was disappointing. They did clean up the bathroom, as I checked while using it after dinner, before going to the mall of America. The concierge lounge was a nice perk with my loyalty status but on Friday and Saturday it is closed other than for a bowl of fresh fruit, a mini fridge of sodas, bottled waters and a fancy coffee/tea machine. They don't even let you in to access the candy. Parking was easy. We self parked which is $27 plus tax and there's an elevator that takes you straight to the lobby. We enjoyed the easy access to mall of America. The gym looked spacious, with lots of equipment. The indoor pool has no hot tub. There were screaming kids running around the pool so we decided to forgo it. The restaurant will be a separate review- it was great. The lobby bar looked good- a little different food menu than the restaurant. The room itself, 1413, had a large spacious barroom and a nice lounge chair. City view was meh. Appreciated the Nespresso machine with the complimentary bottled water. Small mini fridge. Robes appear nice (we didn't use them). The bathroom soaps were great! They didn't smell too manly like most hotels. Pillows were the best thing in the room. Bed was pretty good too. But the room was too hot and the towels were ruined. I did appreciate their QR code where you can order room service or amenities such as champagne, local beer trip? Cheese board, dessert, a teddy bear etc- that's a really nice option for stays more than 1 night (needs 24 hour advance notice). I would not stay here again. This mall area has multiple other hotels and I believe the intercontinental at the airport is the nicest hotel in the area. For a JW Marriott, I was verydisappointed.

Overall 4/10, go look for another place.

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.

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.

I've stayed at this hotel for maybe a few days already and I was here for work-related purposes…read more This place was nice for the amenities mainly the nice little bar , they have a fitness room too with plenty of meeting rooms as well. They do have a shuttle to the airport and the Mall of America but they seem to be pretty picky about when to get service for you. I ended up walking to a bus stop that was only half a mile away which I guess the bus didn't want to do. They do have a Starbucks inside as well. The rooms were very clean and I love the amenities featured. There's plenty of parking as well as well as a parking garage behind. Not much for breakfast since it's a little bit pricey so you're better off going out of your way to grab some food elsewhere. There's even a Denny's next door too which isn't a bad option but it's not my option I would go with first. Overall, I thought it was it a average hotel worth checking out.

The kitchen was stocked with anything we needed if we wanted to cook but we ordered in and it was nice to have all the plates and silverware there. We appreciated the filtered water throughout the hotel. That's one thing that is always missing and we forget to bring. We enjoyed working out in the gym, it had everything we needed so we got a good workout in. The pool and hot tub were very nice and clean. Breakfast included was delicious. They had a lot of options, more than a typical hotel breakfast. Seating was busy but we were able to find a spot for all of us and mingled with other guests at the hotel. Locations is right across from the mall of America, we can see everything from our room. We are mn residents so we didn't feel like we needed to visit the mall but it's perfect for anyone visiting and loves shopping!

They also share it with the AC Hotel next door. Yes, they do have a parking garage but who wants to do that and half of it was closed off when we stayed there. This is a huge factor for us staying here. We've definitely stayed at nicer hotels here and I think I'll stick with the Home 2 Suites up the street when we come to MN.

Being within walking distance of the mall made it easy to come and go without worrying about parking or traffic. The hotel itself is older and could benefit from some updates.

While the property could use some renovations, the convenient location and reasonable price make it a practical option if your main goal is visiting the Mall of America.

Hotel Review: Country Inn & Suites…read more Location: Bloomington, MN, next to the Mall of America Cost: $472 USD Trip type: solo Room: king suite Rating: 6.5/10.0 Dates: 10/9-10/12 Review: I had very mediocre expectations for this hotel. These expectations were well-met. This Country Inn & Suites marketed as a mid-range hotel yet advertised as an upper midscale by Radisson. There is a Radisson Blu across the street on the grounds of Mall of America which compares unfavorably as both share similar parentage yet the two hotels are on entirely different tiers of hospitality. The Country Inn & Suites has select services and essential amenities only, with a focus on being budget conscious for travelers. During my stay, the airport shuttle was prompt and the driver was polite, even affable. The front desk staff were cheery yet seemed overwhelmed upon arrival. Upon walking inside the suite, the suite I had booked was rather lackluster and had garbage in crevices. The furniture was chipped in each room of the suite, even the coffee table looked like it had gone three rounds in a fight and lost. The water pressure was very good, at about an individual ranking of 7.5/10.0. The bathroom featured a bathtub which is a nice addition, and almost unheard of in most modern hotels regardless of tier or location. Toiletries such as shampoo and conditioner were their own house brand. Housekeeping was practically nonexistent for the entire weekend. Fortunately, the suite was clean though again, housekeeping was not around to take care of the room or garbage. As a plus, the wifi was reasonably fast and extremely reliable with no issues whatsoever. The lobby does feature a hot tub and pool, but during my stay there were many kids occupying the pool which spoke to its popularity. There are two restaurants connected to the hotel, a TGI Fridays and an IHOP, in lieu of an actual hotel restaurant which is to be expected for a mid-tier establishment. There is a small in-lobby Cafe or store you can purchase bottled drinks or snacks from that are charged to your room or you can buy outright. The hotel serves an included breakfast until 9:30 AM on weekdays and 10 AM on weekends. The bed was soft yet firm with a plethora of pillows. The staff are at least, as I mentioned, friendly but the lack of service is disgraceful though at least the airport shuttle is timely and the driver is polite. Ultimately, I rate this hotel a 6.5/10.0
