Top Lake Elmo Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Mall of America

8/10 Good

"Pool was closed the whole time we were there (4days) and the room wasn’t very clean. Found someone’s old juice bottle and partial dental retainer on the ground next to the bed. Gross. The body wash was empty in the shower. Certainly could have done a better job."

Wyndham Bloomington - Mall of America

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was great- I was hesitant with reviews but we came in at midnight to a very kind front desk. The pool was super fun our little kids loved it. Yes it smelled like chlorine but not unbearable. Breakfast was delicious- a little difficult as there was a line and having to juggle three littles but with how busy it was the kept it well stocked! We would stay again!"

Hyatt Centric Downtown Minneapolis

10/10 Excellent

"The only thing I didn't like about this hotel was the fact that the hotel restaurant imposed a mandatory 20% gratuity. Food there was good in the service was excellent but that was a kind of a sticking point for me. Everything was wonderful and I'm going to stay there again but I do take issue when somebody forces a gratuity on me. I did eat there and the service I had was excellent at the bar when I had dinner. But imposing a mandatory gratuity does cross the line."
