Crowne Plaza Minneapolis West
$110-167/ notte
Prenota se You need a budget-friendly suburban base with massive fitness amenities and an indoor pool, and don't mind rolling the dice on room updates.
Perché piace così tanto
- Massive 21,000 sq ft health club with racquetball and tennis
- Large indoor saline pool and hot tub
- Convenient location near I-494 and local parks
In sintesi: It boasts resort-style amenities on paper, but aging rooms, thin walls, and a severe lack of basic housekeeping make it a gamble.
Recensito da @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!
