Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The rooms and facilities are dirty and not well maintained. I had to switch rooms because the window in my room was leaking. The floors were dirty. There was hair in both bathrooms in both rooms. The water struggled to come on in the kitchen but eventually flowed well. The internet connection was very unreliable and made it challenging to get work done. The sheets did smell very clean but every surface had a layer of grime. They did get me moved right away with zero wait but to a smaller room.

The bed was not bad at all room was ok. Needs to be updated. Also the A/C was not working. They offed a different room but it was late and my wife didn't want to go through the trouble of moving our thing at that point. They also offered some fans before they offered to move us but couldn't find any fans!

Stayed here 2 years ago and loved it, but it has gone very downhill since. For starters the pull out Bud had bottle caps and hair ties in it. When you sat on the mattress it completely fell through and was unusable. One of the TVs said no signal and the front desk could not figure it out. They told us maintenance would be in to check it out and they never showed. The pool was absolutely disgusting with algae on the depth sign and murky water where you couldn't even see the bottom of the pool. The hot tub had caution tape all around it and was out of order. There was hair and Band-Aids on the floor of the pool deck as well. Very disappointed with our stay this time around, we visit Mall of America each year before school starts and will be choosing other hotels in the area in the future.

Not managed well up to standard.

Breakfast was terrible. TV did not work in bedroom and staff was clueless and could not care. Changed original room as shower ceiling was moldy. The hotel condition is nothing like it was a few years ago.

The only downside was someone must have forgotten to order disposable plates for the breakfast buffet, so people were piling waffles into cereal bowls. Finally staff got stoneware plates to serve the purpose. We stayed only one night so room service was not an issue but fellow guests complained their room had not been cleaned.

The place was fine, except for the teenagers running around with squirt guns. One of teens almost knocked me over when running around a corner. They continued this type of activity for a few hours. Overall I would still stay here again as the suit style rooms work well for my family.
