Crowne Plaza Suites Msp Airport – Mall Of America

I have to admit being a previous visitor of the excellent resort, I needed an excellent 4 evenings. The space was fantastic as well as the space services impressive. The omelette I had been offered was lighting sufficient to drift off of the dish as well as the morning meal fresh fruit dish, espresso in space eating demonstration was outstanding. Furthermore, i appreciate a lot of fun in the Cognac Living room as well as appreciated the surrondng region. The employees had been excellent plus they helped me really feel as if I had been accepted and i also place forth my ideal for them when it comes to an grateful visitor. I am going to always remember that period within my lifestyle in the Crowne Plaza Packages Msp Airport terminal — Shopping mall Of The united states.

Currently, the hotel is under renovation. They are fixing the look and feel, updating it with newer fixtures. And that’s great… But it won’t fix the paper thin walls. Nothing is better than waking up to the sound of the person in the next room belching at 5 am.
Do yourself a favor, spend a few extra bucks and stay someplace else. You may get this for a deal but they rip you off in other ways like bogus room upgrade offers and $ 15 a drink prices at their bar. THIS IS NOT NEW YORK CITY. I could have bought a bottle of Tito’s vodka for what those crooks charged me for two drinks. (They didn’t even make the drinks right. I had to ask them to fix them)
The lock on our door sticks. You have to swipe the key card multiple times and kick the door to get it open. One of our key cards has never worked, and the exhaust fan in the bathroom doesn’t turn on. … The light in the bathroom works sporadically, and the hot and cold knobs were reversed so you have to remember that when using the bathroom.
Considering how awful this has been, I’d love to hear back from the company to tell me how they can fix this, or disappoint me further.

It’s a stone’s throw from the airport, has free parking, is walking distance to IKEA and the Temple of Consumer Culture that is the Mall of America, possesses nice, clean rooms and comfortable beds. If that’s not enough for you, you’re probably not the kind of person who looks up hotels on Unilocal.
I couldn’t get the wifi to work (although my companion could – bastard refused to assist me), but I also didn’t try to muck with it very long or hard. That sounds dirty.
One nota bene, there’s no notice of the hot tub and sauna on the website (a pool – which is huge – is mentioned). Rest assured that there are both hot tub and sauna for all your hot tub and sauna needs aplenty at Crowne Plaza Suites MSP Airport — Mall of America.

Waited 40 minutes in 20 degree cold, for the Hotel van to pick us up. This was after 2 phone calls… finally get to the hotel and ask for a Manager to ask why we waited so long for a van, especially at 5:00 am… manager couldn’t have cared any less, and blew us off like we were trash. Never even apologized…
Nice Hotel… but Customer Service STINKS!
If you stay here, call a cab, it will save you time and frustration.

Just checked in to the dirtiest hotel I’ve stayed at in years and I’m a top tier elite IHG Rewards member who stays 40+ nights a year at IHG properties.
Ceiling is stained from what appears to be a water leak, media cabinet is chipped and torn up, mold on the ceiling of the bathroom.
Defintely not what i expect from a Crowne Plaza, let alone for $ 180 a night.
Not recommended.

Who wants to be a part of anything involving a humongous orgy of unabashed consumerism known as the Mall of America? The jury is in: not this guy. Not this guy!
Fear not though. Closer to this hotel than Mall of America or any shitty IHOP stands the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge (
). One is closer to nature than one can ever envision with Crowne Plaza Suites MSP Airport/​Mall Of America being on one’s business itinerary.
In fact, the refuge is one block from the hotel; so, put on your running shoes and let’s go. Quit with the excuses. Of course, the Mall of America is not too far away if that is what floats your proverbial boat. (Not as close as the wildlife refuge though.)

Crowne Plaza Suites — Mall of America is similar to Crownes — or any lodging — anywhere else on the continent. The frontdesk personnel is typically competent; the housekeeping staff offers a clean room to be available at check-​in and seemingly stays the hell out with the DND signs hung on the door knob; and, the utilities work. Note: The TVs may not work. I never test it.

More on my first hand experiences here:
There is a bed. Actually, there were two. I slept in ‘em. Actually, I slept on one.
There is a shower. The water was hot. It was very pleasing.
Then, I packed up and went home.
Fin.

Rating: Three-​stars, «A-​OK.» (Bed, shower, wildlife refuge next door: what else do you need?)

Great hotel. Shuttle was quick to pick us up from the airport, on schedule to take us to Mall of America, and timely to pick us up from Mall of America back to the hotel.
The staff is friendly and professional, rooms are clean and spacious. Check-​in was efficient. There’s nothing in the area except for the Mall of America itself which has plenty to offer and do.
I would look forward to staying here again!

We stayed here when we were in town for just one night for a wedding. We booked it through Hotwire so we got a great price. The reason for the negative experience is because we called the hotel when we landed to ask if it would be possible to check-​in a couple of hours early. The woman who answered the phone was incredibly short and rude and simply said to call back in an hour. We hung out and called back an hour later as directed. I’m not sure if it was the same rude woman or a different woman equally as rude, but when we called the second time and asked if it would be possible to check-​in now just an hour early, she said «last name?» We said our last name and her response was, «spell it.» She literally was that short, rude, and unfriendly. Talk about bad first impressions! We were already turned off before we had even arrived!
Parking was available in the garage across the street, self-​park. They give you a paper at check-​in and you display it in your car. The hotel itself was fine, exactly the no-​frills type of accommodations I was expecting for what we paid. The room was fine, clean, nothing special but nothing wrong. A little outdated, but again met our expectations for what it was.
Overall, I would say it’s a fine place to crash for a night if you’re on a budget and want to be close to the airport. It’s very close to MSP as well as the Mall of America (though a vehicle is required for both… it’s not a walkable area). The staff is rude and unfriendly, and it’s not anything special.

Let’s start with the cons… Because there really aren’t many. Number one con, the air conditioning unit is really loud in the rooms. Which means that they are doing it right.
We got this hotel here for a steal. On Priceline I think it was like 87 a night with tax. Incredible for the value. The rooms are clean, bathrooms spacious, and they are plenty roomy. There is coffee in the room and a caribou downstairs, can’t get much better than that.
Parking was free and so was the wifi. We are literally across from the literail and didn’t have to drive to minihaha, twins game, downtown or the mall of America.
I think this would be a nice place for a convention and a great pick if you are going to be traveling. My biggest complaint is the noise of the air conditioning, which is really not a big deal.
I would recommend this place to a friend!

The bed was soooooooo comfy. You gotta like soft and cushy tho… Otherwise you may not like it. The pillows are perfect. The room was clean which is always the most important thing! Really nice stay! Slept like a baby!

Stayed here for a day at the mall and a night downtown at the Twins game. I was able to check in at 9am, shockingly. Staff was friendly and able to answer all questions. You do park in the parking garage directly east of the hotel. It’s a little walk but not too far. They do have a shuttle that runs to the mall and airport. It is also across the street from the light rail which made going downtown a breeze. I tried to get a late (10:30pm) meal at the restaurant in the hotel, but the waitress was talking to someone eating for 15 mins so I left. I can’t fault the stay of the hotel for bad restaurant service. Prices were in line for area. Room was clean and very comfortable (great beds and more than enough pillows). Would definitely recommend

Quick stay, slept great, some wall thinness but next door was not too crazy.

Great place to get stranded. One mile to the mall of America. And a train that will take you if you don’t want to walk which stops right outside the hotel.
Resturaunt in the lobby is just ok. Basic hotel fare, but some local beers on tap and generous pours which is nice. They’ll still serve drinks after the kitchen closes which is nice.
There is a Caribou coffee located in the same place.
Van drivers are super nice. We’ll say «Minneapolis nice» because everyone in this city seems extremely friendly. Vans run top ans bottom of each hour.
Overall, a descent hotel with lots of options for entertainment and dining and close proximity to the airport.

Booked a room here thinking it would be a pleasant experience especially with its close proximity to the Mall of America. Free parking and the location seem to be the main benefits here.
The convenience was great but not the room and staff itself! First of all, when I went to the lobby to check in, no one was there for at least 10 minutes. I heard someone in a small room nearby typing and I kept hollering «excuse me?» For a couple minutes until the attendant came out.
The room I got was very cramped and has small uncomfortable beds that made our backs sore. We asked for a cot and when it arrived, they just dumped it in the hallway and left.
The worst part was that on Saturday of our stay, no one cleaned our room and we came back and nothing was cleaned up. To exacerbate the mess, we had to call multiple times to even get new towels. And also, the elevators are old and worked very poorly. The door would close very slowly. The lights flickered and the electronic display showed inaccurate floor numbers. There appeared to be a conference for blind individuals here so I bet the elevator’s poor performance was alarming.
I will not stay here ever again along with my family and friends.

Nice Hotel, Super nice staff. Great Happy Hour (all fried food options) Complimentary Transportation to the Mall of America and the Airport.
Refrigerators & Microwave in the rooms.
Pillows are so-​so.

I stayed here nine days and was able to get a bulk discount that made the Crowne Plaza only $ 2 more per night than the closest Motel 6, which happens to be the worst of the many Motels 6s nationwide in which I’ve stayed through the years.
The difference between the two hotels was roughly equivalent to the difference between Paris and a Port-​au-​Prince shantytown. Other reviewers have correctly noted that the Crowne Plaza’s hotel parking situation isn’t ideal. The hotel is next to a several-​story garage that accommodates many non-​hotel visitors; only portions of the garage are reserved for guests. Based on the layout of the garage, the only way you’ll spare yourself from walking for 20 seconds to a minute in the cold is if you park on the top floor, which puts your vehicle at risk of being buried in snow when you awaken the following day.
That said, the comfort of the rooms is the most important thing, and I barely heard anyone else from my eighth-​floor room. The room had a microwave and a very small refrigerator, as well as a decent-​sized TV and good cable-​channel selection (hello, NFL Network and Thursday Night Football). The gym facilities are impressive, as are the pool and hot tub. One passes the latter, which give off warmth and humidity, when passing from the hotel to the parking lot and back. So when walking in from the cold, you’re greeted with warm comfort. When leaving, you must adjust to a brief, subtropical sensation to the cold reality that awaits, at least in winter.
The Crowne Plaza’s ideally situated if you’re going to the Mall of America or the airport. If not, well, it’s not an ideal location. It took me 25 minutes some days during non-​peak traffic just to reach Uptown.
Many of the non-​hotel visitors I mentioned earlier are at the hotel attending seminars. Walk to the parking garage on the second floor and you’ll pass numerous rooms full of well-​dressed people attempting to look like they’re listening intently to a speaker or film. I resisted the urge to taunt them. That doesn’t mean you have to.

Best hotel gym I’ve seen because it has the most variety of equipment. As a result, the space is right except for the free weights and stretching/​cool down area.
Gym:
1. Cardio Machines: 3 treadmills, 2 ellipticals, 1 bikes, 1 row machine, and 1 stair master
2. Weights: Free weights. Several machines for legs, arms, chest, and back
3. Extra Equipment: Bosu balls (half and full), medicine balls, kettle bells, ab equipment, and an adjustable chairs
4. Mirrors in front of free weights and stretching area
5. Weighing scale
Pool: Only indoor.
1. Depth: 3 ft –7 ft
2. Large pool to swim laps
3. Jacuzzi: small, 3 ft deep, and indoor.
4. No aquatic lifts
Room: Standard double bed room. Clean although hotel carpets usually feel dirty. Nothing extraordinary and nothing horrifying thankfully.
Overall I would recommend. The gym is excellent and the location is great; 1 mile away from the Mall of America.

This is probably one of the worst Crown Plaza hotels I’ve ever been in. Is decorated from the 70s, I typically don’t care how it’s decorated but the layout is horrible. Staff do not particularly make you feel welcome it’s more like they recognize you’re there and are indifferent. The worst part of this hotel is the parking which is very inconvenient. The reason why I gave two stars is because the presentation I did there was well-​managed and went off without a hitch.
There are other hotels nearby that And I would check out those first before I would ever come back to this location.

The front desk staff were so very helpful when our flight was cancelled due to weather in MSP and we checked in extremely late. And of course, I love the Temple Spa products! Thus, the reasons for the 2 stars.
The rooms were not as nice. At 1:30 in the morning, anything looks clean and comfy. But when I opened my eyes in the morning, I was a little shocked at the state of the room. The pillow cases on the bed next to the one I was sleeping in had makeup on them, so instinctively I looked at the ones I had been sleeping on all night. Let’s just note that the long black hairs I saw looked nothing like the blonde ones from my head.
Now because I’m a glutton for punishment, and the lack of disposable coffee cups, I picked up a «clean» mug from the coffee server, removed the paper topper and low and behold… someone else’s morning java or tea was awaiting me. I should know better than to trust a hotel room ceramic mug, but was this one even rinsed with water?!

I stayed here one night after Delta oversold their flight and offered me a small pile of vouchers if I would take the flight the next morning. The Crowne Plaza is located about five or so minutes from the airport and they have a shuttlebus that makes the circuit. Expect to ride with a few Delta crew.
The hotel has a restaurant and a bar — both of which will accept your Delta vouchers. There really isn’t much within walking distance, other than a Light Rail station 50 yards away that will take you to the airport and beyond into Downtown or over to the Mall of Americas.
I have no status with the Crowne Plaza chain, so I did not get any sort of special treatment or upgraded room. What I did get was a decent room with a comfortable bed, a clean shower with fluffy towels and a large screen television. Internet service was free and worked okay.
The room was clean, it was quiet and it was comfortable. The only staff people I ran into were the night manager at the desk who checked me in, and the two shuttle drivers. All were very pleasant and welcoming. «Minnesota Nice?»
I would stay here again.
