Tip: Scan the QR code found on signs in the parking lot to pay online for parking…read more My review is different. It's for parking at this Courtyard. I stayed at the Fairfield next door. I had a pleasant stay, except for parking. For the handful of times that I attended Minnesota Wild games and got back to the hotel after at least 8 pm, there were no available parking spots. It was a perfect storm. Literally. Factor in March break, various tournaments around the Twin Cities (basketball and hockey), and a blizzard, no wonder there weren't any spots available at the Fairfield. I also think it's the local mentality of being in Minnesota. Eat dinner at 5 pm. Head back to the hotel to chill. The blizzard made pretty much everyone stay inside. It was to start on Saturday evening. I had just come back from a Wild game that night and returned to the hotel just past 8 pm. There were no parking spots available. I parked here twice, both after Wild games. The first time was last Thursday. There weren't any spots at Fairfield after 11 pm, so it made sense to park next door. It was a warm night. It was easy finding an available spot. The way you pay for parking is to scan a QR code found on signs in the lot. You then pay online once you specify when your checkout date is. I was pleased that you didn't have to be staying at the Courtyard to park there. There was a field to enter your room number when you are filling out the payment form. I left it blank and it was fine. You have the option to change your checkout date hours before your original date and time expire. The second time that I parked here was on Saturday. I came back from a Wild game after 8 pm. We had a blizzard warning. The snow had started. It was windy and wet. I had rented an SUV. I tried my hand and driving it up an open patch at Fairfield that would have been grass. It worked. However, I thought about trying to dig out this vehicle and decided to park at this Courtyard instead. I realized later that I had parked in a walkway. I don't think anyone cared as long as the plows could clear the snow to get in and out of the parking lot a day later. I had originally specified my checkout time to be on Monday. However, weather and road conditions were so bad on Monday morning that I decided to extend my parking to Tuesday. I'm glad that I did because it took me quite some time to dig my car out on Monday afternoon with a snowbrush! I am grateful for having the snowbrush as my makeshift shovel and choosing an SUV that made getting out of a foot of snow easier. Parking is $10 a night. The checkout time is noon. I was okay paying for it, knowing that my rental vehicle would be safe and actually having a spot. I will say that the walk from the back of Courtyard's lot that Saturday to Fairfield was brutal. Wet snow. Wind gusts at nearly 30 km/h. I had two paper bags full of groceries that ripped. I was fortunate to have brought my insulated bag and a plastic bag that held up. By the time I got to the hotel, I was wet and white with snow on me. It was nice to get out of my damp clothes! I was pleased that I could find parking next door at this hotel. I'm not sure if I'd stay at the Fairfield again when it's still winter. I wouldn't mind staying at this Courtyard someday. The parking is decent and my vehicle was safe for half my stay in the Twin Cities. (121)

As a general rule I have been very pleased with my stays here. However, this time did meet what I…read morehave been accustomed to from the Courtyard. When I arrived staff was not nearly as pleasant as usual, and after I settled into the room I threw something in the trash can located in the bedroom and immediately was hit with a strong cigarette smell. I checked and there was cigarette butts in the trash can under the trash bag. Such a disgusting smell and within minutes the entire room smelled. I called the front desk to explain what I had found and tell them I put the trash can in the hallway and the response was " so what do you want, the trash can removed or are you asking for a new room?" in a disgusted tone...I was simply letting the staff know what I found as it was poor housekeeping to leave cigarettes in the trash can. I should have insisted on a room change because the room smelled horrible even after removing the trash can but I had already settled in so I stayed in the room. I stay here often, and hopefully this is a one time issue, but I am quite disappointe.

It's easy to order food and drinks at the bar and you can seat yourself at any table. They usually have whirlyball courts open but it is easier to reserve.

For a group of ~20 it was perfect: I believe 10 can play at a time so we got to switch in and out. The game itself is a mix of lacrosse and number cars - even more fun than I expected, and our group of ~30 year olds plus some parents had a blast. They also have an arcade, bowling, and an escape room - plus probably other stuff I missed! They had tables you could book/reserve which is nice and service drinks and food like pizzas.

This is a smart use of space buried within the Mall of America and more specifically, within the…read moreNickelodeon Theme Park. It benefits from the mall offerings for food and entertainment if your meeting crosses the lunch hour. From a mall planning perspective, it was space that was not really in use for much so why not turn it into something useable and revenue generating? It is a nice, modern, bright space that has good AV capability and space for about 150 people comfortably. Given that, it meets the basic requirements for holding a meeting/conference but it has several quirky things that limit its utility. Being within a busy mall, parking can be an issue especially if your meeting is occurring on a day when the mall traffic is expected to be heavy. The closest parking ramp is the one between Macy's and Nordstrom's. Use the first floor West Entrance, walk straight ahead into the theme park and it is to your right 1 flight of stairs up. It sounds easier than it is, especially if the parking ramp is full, you may end up parking in a totally different area resulting in you being quite a ways away. I do notice that in this particular parking ramp, there are reserved spaces for almost every other type of venue except the conference center. (There are reserved spaces for package pickup, Uber pickup, medical clinic use, etc. but no reserved spaces for the conference center.) This can limit its ease of accessibility. Another odd quirk is that the conference room itself is an odd "L" shape which limits sight lines when in the audience. The room accommodates for this by putting large video screens on the side walls so that the content can be seen by everyone in the room so that is a unique way to deal with the visual obstacles in the room but the overall feel of the room is that it is somewhat broken up because if you sit deep in 1 end of the "L", you cannot see the other side. Another oddity that is quite entertaining but is actually a distraction is that the entry to the conference room (which is the back of the conference room) is floor to ceiling glass. This gives the speaker a commanding view of the theme park and contributes to the brightness and airy feeling of the space. However, as a speaker, you are acutely aware of every roller coaster that roars by because they do so about 10 feet outside the windows. Very thrilling and entertaining but also quite distracting as it occurs every 3-4 minutes. Finally, the noise level from the theme park is loud. The entry/exit is not protected with a double door or some type of entryway receiving room so the doors are the only thing that stand between the actual conference room and the theme park. This means that if anyone comes in or leaves during the middle of a presentation, the full sound and kiddy screams from the rides enters the meeting. Not cool as the audience then can't hear what the speaker is saying and the speaker has an immediate distraction during their talk (not to mention that it pretty much outs anyone trying to enter or exit quietly in the middle of the presentation). Overall, I really like the space and some aspects of the concept but it needs to fix the parking and sound issues for sure if it wants to be considered as a seriously desirable space for large meetings and conferences.

He truly cares about his couples and wants them to have a stress free, fantastic night. When Covid hit, George was very good at letting us know what was going on, and he was very flexible about moving our date with no charge. Despite the new rules, it was still the magical night I always imagined. Jana was our coordinator, and she was absolutely amazing as well. She made sure we didn't have to worry about anything the entire night. If she saw us or our parents without a drink, she made sure to ask if we needed anything. She even jokingly reprimanded me when I tried helping clean up at the end of the night. We had SO many compliments on the food and the GEORGOUS venue. George took advantage of the pandemic lockdown and people postponing their weddings in order to make a beautiful venue 10X more beautiful. The up lights, dance lights and the dry ice fog were amazing. The price George charges is definitely a steal for how beautiful the venue is and the quality of service you get.

The service was excellent from start to finish. Guests are assigned a table number upon arrival, place their order at the coffee bar, and then return to their table while food runners deliver drinks and meals. The staff was consistently friendly, helpful, and eager to answer questions. One surprise was the pricing. An iced tea cost $4.50, and it was unclear whether refills were available. For two people, a crispy chicken sandwich with bacon, chicken and waffles, and beverages came to approximately $70 after tip and applying accumulated Toast rewards. While the food quality was good, the overall cost makes this more of an occasional treat than a regular brunch destination for budget-conscious diners. As for the food itself, my chicken and waffles were delicious. The waffle was light, fluffy, and flavorful. Guests should note that coconut is used in many of the bakery items and baked goods. The crispy chicken was equally enjoyable, although I found it slightly on the salty side. My dining companion felt the breading on his chicken was a bit oilier than he preferred. The restaurant offers a bright, welcoming atmosphere with comfortable seating. However, the noise level was somewhat elevated during our visit, making conversation a little challenging at times. Of course, I couldn't resist spending some time at the bakery counter. While the bakery items are certainly not inexpensive, I found them competitively priced compared to some higher-end grocery stores in the Twin Cities that sell mass-produced gluten-free products at premium prices. Would I recommend Olivia's? Absolutely. The food is high quality, the staff is exceptional, and the gluten-free options are a welcome find. Just be prepared for the cost. For many diners, Olivia's may be best enjoyed as an occasional brunch splurge rather than an everyday destination.
