The best hotel I've ever stayed at!
I stayed at this hotel in March of 2005 with my ex-roomates on a Mall of America trip and I took this hotel at my full advantage.
The Pool was huge, which is a plus for me whenever I stay at a hotel, and it even has a Sauna along with a Hot tub!
The front desk area was VERY modern and nice-looking. It had LCD TV sets displaying different channels at once along with several other TVs stating the weather and news. The Decor was very nice.
Our room was very nice. Had all the amentities a motel room should have. The only bad thing is that our view was some construction site...but in our hotel window we saw the home of Josten's, which created my high school yearbooks and graduation supplies, which I thought was kind of cool.
This does not affect today, but when we went there was very heavy construction occuring and we had to take an entirely different route to get to our hotel...which was a pain, but that's not a problem anymore since it has been completed. That is why I gave the "location" column a 3 out of 5.
The best thing of this motel was the "North" restaurant. I am a big fan of modern restaurants, and this was the nicest restaurant I have ever seen. The staff was very friendly and made me feel welcome. Why go out of the motel to eat when you have this lovely restaurant adjacent? I don't know why, but I love Square ceramic plates, and they served my meal on it, and that took the cake, even though it was a burger and fries, which were good mind you, and only spent 8 bucks and some change.
I hope to come to this hotel again! It is a definite motel for the business traveler if they need to catch a plane the next day. VERY professional. I recommend this hotel to EVERYONE!
