Radisson Blu Mall of America
Check in was great. We have stayed here before but this time tried the executive king room on 13th-top floor. The hallways upstairs smelled fresh, the room looked great when we checked in. Beautiful room and nice view. There is an executive lounge that was nice-pretty busy in the morning next time ...
