  The only highlights of my stay were the staff, who were friendly and courteous, and the breakfast. Unfortunately, everything else was extremely disappointing—and I say that as an IHG Rewards member. The building is outdated, dirty, and EXTREMELY dimly lit, which made it feel uncomfortable and uninviting. The stairwell areas reeked of marijuana, and the elevators did not work well. The location was not great, and the parking lot was crowded with random vehicles and construction trucks taking up numerous spaces. Overall, I did not feel comfortable staying here and will avoid this location in the future. Do yourself a favor and stay at the Hampton down the road instead.

  Parking fees were waived because I was a rewards member. The staff was super helpful and the breakfast staff was the best I've ever seen. We received a nice welcome gift upon check-in and I was texted asking how my stay was. I was able to text for restaurant recommendations and the staff came in clutch when we ordered pizza providing paper plates and utensils. The carpet is old and bunching in some places so should be replaced. Was able to hear neighbors late at night, but they did say I could've called front desk to address.

  Stayed in a single king bed room. Room was clean and the bed was one of the comfier beds iv slept in for a hotel. Service was quick and courteous. Location was great right next to the highway. My only down side is I refuse to give a hotel that charges for parking anything more than 4 stars. Its only $10 so its lower than some iv stayed at, but they could of brought me chocolate truffles on top of krispy Kreme donuts during an inclusive massage and I would still only rate it 4 stars at most, because charging to park at a place Im already paying to stay at is ridiculous. This $10 fee can be removed if you join their free rewards program, but its crap to dangle that as a positive and they know it

  My NUMBER 1 choice of lodging in the Twin Cities! Thank you for all your hospitality! I checked in to Holiday Inn Express Bloomington/MSP Airport on Aug 3 and out on 5th, 2026 and I couldn't have been more pleased! This property truly delivered on the Holiday Inn experience I'd come to know and love over the years. Choosing a hotel can make or break a vacation, or work conference - believe me you! Before I begin, note this: After my stay I phoned to compliment management! Transportation and Shuttles - Excellent dispatch experience when arriving at Mnps/St. Paul Intl Arpt. - simply phone the front desk and request a pick-up. Shuttle didn't take more than 20min and serves at both terms (I flew with United, so Lindberg). Look for "Hotel Shuttles" on overhead signage. My driver was so friendly and chatted just enough to feel welcomed yet at peace after my flight from Illinois. I wish I recalled is name, he was a nice young man of Somali background. Thank you, sir! You'll see him or the other drivers routinely, so get acquainted. The hotel discontinued it's Mall of America stop, but the driver made an exception - How kind! Check-in - I checked in rather late in the evening on Monday. After a day of shopping and perusing the Mall of America area, I arrived with bags in tow ready to unpack. The buildings temperature was set to cool 70F, appreciated given the heat wave. The front desk agent was so friendly and helpful, I was assigned room 522. Do note, the keycards seemed to glitch initially but the agent reset with a smile. My Hotel room - Rm 522 was the ideal location, on the 2nd highest floor of the main wing, end of hallway - yet not sharing the exterior wall or next to elevator/janitor closets. The walls are padded to muffle interior sound, so expect to rest well. Located near the interstate, I did notice the quiet hum, but unphased me. The room was spacious with a elegantly made King bed, love seat, ottoman, Samsung Tv, with a small surface to work. Lighting excellent, with wall sconces and lamps plentiful. The restroom was nearly spotless - only the door has a blemish in the wood. The vanity sparkled and the tub made for revitalizing showers. IHG provides complimentary Dove toiletries like Shower gel, shampoo, lotion etc. Linens were also fluffy and snow white. Dining - This was the best part. Holiday Inn Express provides the meanest complimentary breakfast, that to me (just me talking) rivals full service hotels like Hilton and Courtyard. Why? Because the breakfast buffet has so many options, from sweet to savory! I recalled, sausages, omelets, hashed potatoes, biscuits and gravy, bacon, pancakes, yogurts, shredded potatoes, and the list goes on! This is the breakfast I dream of and one I'll set my alarm for! Oh, and speaking of dreaming the chains famous Cinnamon Rolls will send you to heaven - I stowed away a plates worth and I apologize to know one! Coffee excellent too, with decaf and tea/HC available 24hrs Overall, I was so pleased with the value, amenities, dining, and customer service at this IHG hotel in W Bloomington, Minnesota. I paid about $117 CAD ($93 USD) per night. Incredible value and revitalizing 2 night stay. They'll be my first choice, next time in Minnesota. I suggest you try them too!

  Definitely would not stay again, stinky and outdated, really the worst hotel I’ve been at in a long time. Building is from the 80s and clearly has done minimal upgrading since then. If it was $50/night it would be worth it. Location; The highway noise is very loud even with the fan on high. It’s right across from Trader Joe’s and 15 min to downtown which is convenient. Breakfast: if you are getting juice in the morning from the juice dispenser, just know that fruit flies are living up inside of the nozzles overnight so upon the first dispensing you’ll get 30-40 flies in the cup. I thought it was chia seeds. The entire juice area is swarming with them. They don’t start the morning with empty trash cans in the breakfast area, they’re full from the day before.
