The hype
Great pool and gym, but the rooms are dated and cleanliness is a gamble.
Crown Plaza Minneapolis West

Zarezervuj si to, pokud You're a business traveler who prioritizes a massive gym or a family needing a pool that actually tires the kids out.
Proč to lidé milují
- Massive 21,000 sq ft Plymouth Creek Athletic Club attached
- sprawling indoor pool area with hot tub
- Free parking in a safe suburban location
Rychlý přehled: A faded suburban conference hotel that leans heavily on its massive athletic club to distract you from the tired rooms and questionable housekeeping.
Recenzoval @ShesTrippy: I stayed here for a vet appointment and was blown away by the value. The $25 pet fee is unheard of—most places charge $150! The room felt fancy but practical, with a fridge for meds and plenty of space for my little guy. A total win for pet parents.
