Cambria Hotel Bloomington Mall of America Minneapolis Airport

9/10106 Reviews

Guest User: My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay at the Cambria hotel. He went to conference in downtown St. Paul while I checked out the Twin Cities. Location is excellent. My boyfriend easily took the #54 bus into St. Paul using the bus stop right next to the hotel. I checked out the MN Valley National Wildlife Refuge (a 3 min drive away) and the Mall of America / IKEA (free hotel shuttle which was super easy to use) in addition to other sites that I drove to (hotel offers free parking with plenty of open spaces). The free morning coffee in the lobby was delicious and strong. While breakfast was not free, the hotel room has a microwave and mini-fridge for us to make our own breakfast (oatmeal, bagels, yogurt, etc.) and keep cold soda/beer in our room. I also enjoyed their swimming pool. The water is cool but good for doing laps. Finally, we enjoyed their spacious, clean, and modern rooms. Thank you, Cambria!

Mall of America — traveler post in Bloomington

Mall of America

Day 9 Mall of America The largest sale in the United States today is a Bloomington, Minnesota with more than 520 shops, 60 restaurants, a large indoor amusement park called Nickelodeon Universe, the SEA LIFE Aquarium, and numerous other attractions. It is the largest shopping center in the United States and the Western Hemisphere and is owned and managed by the Triple Five Group, which owns the American Dream Shopping Center and West Edmonton Shopping Center. The shopping center opened in 1992 and attracts more than 40 million visitors each year. Walking into the Mall first attracted by the cheers of children in the playground. Tall Lego models attract many children where to cut blocks, and many rides including miniature ferris wheel, miniature jumping machine, etc However, those amusement facilities are more suitable for younger children 😊 Even parents can accompany their children to ride a mini train, walking in the mall, is also extremely rare ah 😅 Maybe the summer vacation relationship came here twice saw many children in the playground playing rides😂 Shopping mall must have a variety of famous shops, located in different places in the mall, the shopping environment is good, but the prices of brand stores are not cheap at all. The third floor is a food-only area with a variety of different delicacies available. When you get tired of shopping and play, go to the food court public area on the 3rd floor to rest. In addition to the store there are some display areas. Hockey giant helmet, I was also the first time I saw such a big helmet, divided into several rows, different colors, different styles. The whole series is spectacular. So it is a comprehensive entertainment venue for entertainment, shopping and leisure for the whole family🤗 The light rail Blue Line in the city center provides direct access to the shopping center or you can drive yourself, there is a parking lot with lots of parking spaces 🅿️🅿️🅿️ for travel options. There is also an oversized IKEA furniture next to it, so after visiting the Mall of America, you can also go to IKEA Furniture to buy household items😁 #mallofamerica

Review of Country Inn & Suites by Radisson Hotel — traveler post in Bloomington

Review of Country Inn & Suites by Radisson Hotel

Starting the review of Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Bloomington at Mall of America! I recently stayed at the Country Inn & Suites by Radisson hotel due to a meeting in the Minneapolis area, and it was a very satisfying experience. What I liked the most was the well-equipped fitness center, which allowed me to maintain my workout routine even while traveling. The room was clean and spacious, providing a comfortable place to relax. I was particularly impressed by the complimentary breakfast, which was diverse and fresh, giving me a great start to the day. I would recommend this hotel to both families and business travelers!
