Super 8 Motel Bloomington

My husband and I stayed here and did the park and fly the end of Oct. Checked into our room and noticed the dust on the outlets was thick, thought I could put up with it until my husband asked what was laying under the bench, went to look and seen it was dirty underwear! We were able to change rooms… The woman that was working behind the front desk was rude and unaccommodating! She demanded I turn in my key to my room… with the dirty underwear, before she would give me a different room. I explained… How was I to move our luggage, without my key. At this point we should of checked out! Here’s the topper… I ask management to call me, no call. I call today and ask to speak with the manager Nikki. I explain I wasn’t called, she said she never got the note. Ok understandable, that happens. I explain our stay from hell. She now tells me why did it take you so long to call? Really? She offers to take 15% off our next stay. I said you think that’s worth what we went though and she said it was. I responded I haven’t written my review yet. Then accused me of threating her??? I was in tears. Stay somewhere else!!!

The good: the motel felt safe and the staff was both cheerful and helpful. Very basic room but everything worked. We used the shuttle twice and that went well.
The bad: the awful smell in the room, which persisted in spite of our our efforts to dissipate it through ventilation.
Worst included breakfast I’ve seen. There was a waffle maker although the batter was disappointing. Otherwise, the spread was limited to bread, two kinds of cereal, packaged rolls, oranges and bananas.
Given the number of places to stay, you can do better.

I have to admit that I rarely stay at hotels such as Super 8. However my skepticism was met with much surprise. The hotel was very nice, clean and modern in appearance. The breakfast was your typical continental but none the less it was also nice. Most of all my room was clean and the mattress
was soft. I would recommend this hotel.

I was very impressed with this place. Staff was great, free shuttle to airport, decent free breakfast, great facilities, great value rooms. Highly recommend this place, the jacuzzi suites may be the best value in all of hoteldom. HUGE suite. Parking for a week for a small fee is great option too.

I travel for work and am in a different city every week. I try to stay away from the discount chains like super 8 or Roadway Inns– and the high end chains like Double Tree or Marriot are a waste of money. So I usually stay at mid range hotels like Comfort Suites or La Quinta. But I had some points saved up for a free night so I decided to cash them in here. Boy was I pleasantly surprised! I have been burned by Super 8 in the past (another location) so I try to avoid them. My whole experience was very nice– from Joey the shuttle driver (gave all kinds of helpful advice) to the front desk clerk. The room was freshly remodeled. The bed was very soft (I like soft mattresses but for those of who who prefer a hard mattress you may be disappointed). The room was clean and smelled fresh (I travel with a small bottle of Fabreze just in case of cigarette smoke but did not have to use it here). Felt safe, and had a quiet restful sleep. Also they provide hazel nut creamer instead of that powdered creamer crap! My only complaint is the safe fee– a hidden safe fee burns me! There is a safe in the room and you are automatically charged a fee even if you do not use it! It would have been a five star review if not for the hidden fee– which was promptly removed when I complained. Overall worth the price and I highly recommend.

Motel was clean. The rooms were ok. Air conditioner blew lukewarm air at best. The bed was the WORST I have ever slept in!

I’m pretty damned picky when it comes to hotels. Decided on Super 8 Bloomington based on reviews, needing a quick overnight. No frills, just someplace to rest my head. I was IMPRESSED. Not by Marriott/​Hilton standards but for what I consider a value chain, they set the standard for quality at a great price. Room was smaller, but that’s to be expected. Floors were laminate hard wood. Beds were a little too soft for my comfort but sleep was still not an issue. The staff was awesome. Every interaction was met with smiles and the answers I needed. Location is close to nice restaurants and bars. I would definitely stay again.

Oooph, this place is rough. The hotel room looked clean and decent enough (see pictures). But I wish we were technologically advanced enough for smell-​o-​vision (Apple get on that!). Even though I was in a non-​smoking area, the hallway and my room smelled strongly of smoke. I had to keep the windows open (it was in the 20’s and snowing) to provide at least some fresh air. It even gave me a headache. On top of that, I took the stairways often since I was only 3 floors up, but the stairwell smelled like a URINAL! Ladies if you’ve never smelled a mens bathroom urinal here is your chance! It’s crazy, how does that even happen? Are they melting urinal cakes into a cleaning solution?!
I can’t even say this was worth the price! Yikes. I review hotels mainly to be able to avoid spots like this. BUT on the positive sides: bathroom was clean, bed appeared clean, and the wi-​fi had no issues. But omg the smell, I’m telling you, the smell… unless you like smoke and urinals (but I don’t think those people use Unilocal,hey just saying…)

This hotel met our expectations. We flew into MSP around 1am and checked into our hotel shortly after. The room was clean and fairly comfortable. The people at the front desk at check-​in and check-​out were friendly. I was happy with the continental breakfast as well (waffles, cereal, toast, eggs, cinnamon rolls, etc…). The wifi is free and was fast. The only bummer was that they didn’t have conditioner in the showers, only shampoo. For the price, though, it was a really great stay for what we needed!

Worst hotel and worst customer service ever. After checking in at 1:30am from a long flight from California, the two women working the front desk gave me awful service. They took about 30 minutes to check me into my room and passed my credit card and ID back and forth multiple times-​then lost my ID. When I returned to the airport to pick up a rental car the next morning, I realized they hadn’t given me back my license and I was stranded. When I called, they INSISTED they gave it back and I had to have it. I asked them to please contact the women who worked the front desk when I checked in and they refused until multiple requests later. They left the women voicemail and I never heard back from the hotel. I spent an entire day trying to get a paper copy of my
License from the California DMV. As I was about to file a police report for my stollen ID so I could get on my return flight, I decided to call the hotel one last time. Surprisingly, they had my ID! They hadn’t considered calling the number I gave them if they found my ID. What’s worse, when I went to pick up my ID, front desk worker David was incredibly rude to the customers before me and after me. I asked to speak with a manager and he fought me on it, telling me «She’s very busy.» Don’t stay here. Not worth the money.

Stayed here on a recent trip to Minneapolis. The price is right with this hotel. We were late to check in (around 9 pm) and they had all the paperwork ready to go and waiting for us. Which was nice after traveling all day. We were up on the second floor. The hotel was really quiet as all the rooms are interior facing. The bed was cozy and soft, room was clean with somewhat up to date furnishings. We were up and out of our room by 5:30 am, a little disappointed in the continental breakfast they offered, and wished it was more. Overall a great room for the price.

I needed a hotel for the night, and since I’m a Wyndham Rewards member, I figured I’d go with one that earned reward points. I went online to book, but their website was down for maintenance. Whatever. I figured I’d give it time, so I came back the next day, and the website was still down. That was a pain. I called in to book my reservation and asked for an e-​mail confirmation. I waited four days but was never e-​mailed. Had to call the hotel again to hope that my room was actually booked; luckily, it looks like it was.
The hotel itself isn’t too hard to find. It’s less than a block away from a gas station and McDonalds for late-​night snacking. There’s also an all-​night pizza delivery place that’s advertised by the hotel in case you want pizza delivered to your room.
When it came to check in, it worked okay. We waited a bit in line, but it happens. When we went to get checked in, the person helping us seemed pretty annoyed and like they were just going through the steps of trying to get us into our hotel room. He was speaking really quickly, and I didn’t catch most of the information — luckily, a packet in the room explained everything I was curious about (Check out is 11 AM). First time we went up to our room, neither of the room keys worked at all. Went down to the front desk and new keys were made. New keys worked perfectly though throughout the entire weekend.
The room itself was okay. We stayed in a single King, non-​smoking room. There was no smell of smoke, and despite being relatively close to the escalators, it was never an issue. The room itself was extremely clean. Bed was made perfectly, and the bathroom was immaculately clean. It wasn’t a particularly large room — pretty small in fact, but it still had enough space for walking around the room. The room included a desk and chair, recliner positioned perfectly near the window, television, and the bed itself. Pretty basic, but it worked out fine. Room had a «meh» view. it was also equipped with Air Conditioning — amazingly, the air conditioning was AMAZINGLY functional. If you want it cold in here, it’s going to be cold. I had it at 64 degrees, and it honestly like a great igloo in the middle of summer.
My roommate wants me to make note that they provide shampoo, but NO conditioner. He was annoyed about that. So if you’re planning on having conditioner, be aware that they don’t provide it here.
Water pressure in the shower was also pretty abysmal. It had plenty of hot water, though.
Wi-​Fi worked fine. It wasn’t as fast as my home internet, but it was reliable. I was on it for a couple hours without any issues.
The bed itself was okay. It’s super soft. If you love super soft, sink-​into-​the-​bed beds, this’ll be perfect. I prefer a firmer bed, but it was fine for sleeping. Along with that, the king-​sized bed had 3 pillows. It seemed like an odd amount of pillows, and I wanted more, but it worked okay.
This hotel offers free breakfast in the morning from 6AM to 9:30 AM (kinda early, I think). I couldn’t get a good picture because it was so busy, but there’s a small area off of the lobby that has dinner items. There are like, 6 tables, and they were extremely crowded and all taken at 9 AM when I went. As for the food, it’s a good selection. There’s coffee and coffee items, orange juice, and milk. There’s yogurt, Apple & Cinnamon yogurt, hard boiled eggs, heat-​in-​the-​microwave cinnamon rolls, bake your own waffles with butter and syrup, and bananas and apples. They also have two types of cereal. There’s quite a few options for breakfast, and it’s all fresh and tasty. I grabbed some and took it back to my room.
Overall thoughts: I was annoyed about the booking process and the check-​in, but it otherwise was a good hotel. It feels a bit pricey for what it was (over $ 100 a night), and I’m sad they didn’t have a pool, but it was an okay stay. For what it did provide, everything worked, everything was fresh, and everything was clean. You definitely could do a whole lot worse.

Rain and delays out of Philadelphia landed me here on route to Los Angeles.
When it comes to overall hotel quality, it pails in comparison to some of the 4 or 5 stars out there. However, when it comes to customer service it beats them all.
The staff were very nice and accommodating. They even mailed me a personal item I left behind for no charge.
If I’m ever back in MN, I would definitely book my stay here. Thanks guys for the awesome hospitality!

I got this room via Hotwire, as a hidden booking for $ 70 having just needed a place to crash after a late flight. However, due to travel woes with United, we missed our connecting flight to Minneapolis and drove all night from Chicago. We called the Super 8 and told them we’d still like to keep our room, and the front desk clerk promised to hold it for us. When we rolled in at 5:15am, she knew who we were, and had our keys ready to go. Without asking she signed us up for late checkout, and promised to let the housekeeping staff know not to bother us.
It was clean and relatively quiet during the 6 hours we were there. We didn’t use the wifi, nor did we get to the free breakfast. The bed could’ve been a touch more comfortable, but after a 6 hour drive we would’ve slept on the floor. I gave this place 4 stars for the thoughtful service at the desk, the free parking, and the quiet room.

While looking for hotels during an unexpected night’s stay, I came across this Super 8. I chose it because it was available at a good price, had close access to the Mall of America and airport.
Joey, the shuttle driver was awesome. Be sure to tip him or her! He even waited for me to secure my luggage at the hotel and then take me over to the MOA.
The room was clean and if you don’t smoke, be sure to ask for a non smoking room. The motel isn’t in the best of areas and doesn’t smell like cinnamon, like another hotel that’s close by, but it gets the job done. They even have HBO. The beds were comfortable and the shower curtain was new. It was bowed out like the ones at hotels that cost twice as much.
The breakfast in the morning includes juice, cereal, cinnamon rolls, fruit and even a DIY waffle bar.
If in need of an inexpensive room for the night, a shuttle to the airport the next day, or even a quick trip to the mall, try this place. It even scored a diamond award from AAA.

I picked this place because it was affordable, but very close to Mall of America.
The room was clean and quiet and the staff was very friendly! There is also apparently shuttles that run to the Mall at regular intervals which is a nice touch. There’s also quite a bit of easy to get to parking.
My only complaint was the internet was rather hit-​and-​miss. I eventually gave up on it when it reached the point it would no longer hold a connection or open any web-​pages.

So my trip to Minnesota wasn’t really planned out including where to spend the night. So once in Minny, it was a search for a room.
Luckily my mom grabbed a coupon magazine at a rest stop. We went to Brooklyn Center to try our luck. Unfortunately, we seen more welcoming crack houses on the south side of Chicago. Next up, Bloomington.
What a night and day difference! I don’t think we could’ve picked a better hotel. It was a $ 88.00 a night room but with the coupon turned into only $ 52.00 for the night. Yeah my mom’s cheapness paid off! Sorry mom, I mean «thifty-​ness.»
The staff was friendly. The rooms were clean. The hotel was nice and quiet. Beds were comfortable and no weird smells. Plus I knew I could leave my car outside and not worry about it being on cinder blocks in the morning… double yeah.
The hotel even offered shuttles to the Mall of America and the airport. The location here was definitely worth it. I would have paid full price for the room and still considered it a value.
My favorite part: free breakfast. No not a moldy old donut but pour your own waffles. C’mon now, f’ing waffles! Can I just live here? They had plenty of other choices like muffins, cereal, yogurt, cinnamon rolls, juices, coffee and teas. Definitely a huge spread for a free continental meal. And that’s probably why I oinked up 12 pounds coming home.
When I’m back in Minny, I’m definitely coming back here. You get more than a bang for your buck at this «value» motel.
