Por qué a la gente le encanta

- Convenient location near I-494 and local parks
Resumen rápido: It boasts resort-style amenities on paper, but aging rooms, thin walls, and a severe lack of basic housekeeping make it a gamble.
Reseñado por @dannsing1: I stayed in this room and it was the perfect base for my Minneapolis trip. Being able to walk to the Mall of America in 15 minutes was a game-changer. Plus, having the Metro right next door meant I could easily explore downtown without a car. The room was huge and so comfy!
