Hampton Inn Minneapolis/Eagan

Sometimes I wonder why I even stay at other places. I have never stayed at this chain and not had a great experience. This particular Hampton Inn isn’t the newest, but the rooms are great and the service was top-​notch. Bonus for me about this hotel is that it’s close to most everything – but it’s not surrounded by a ton of other Hotels, giving it a little seclusion from the Suburban Spread which is the Twin Cities.

Super-​clean, they clean the sheets, top/​bottom, makes a huge difference. Had to drop a star for the toilet which took a while to stop running, and it was too close to the sink. Staff was great, and helpful and pleasant. id stay here again.

This is a somewhat unusual setting for a regional Hampton not because of it’s location but the fact that there’s a good choice choice of food around it even to after midnight.
The pool is a wry welcome bonus and adds a nice low impact option to a well appointed and maintained gym. Nice to see both are clean and monitored so feel safe that you can use both.
The rooms are classical Hampton «non denominational» — hard to pin down a style, period or concept. It’s a style that just feels old and last century to me, especially against the mid-​price competition, but they rooms are spotless and everything is restocked when needed and all things work.
One repeating problem is the door locks. The touch system is iffy at best and downright frustrating. The cards constantly reset and you can spend a long time in the «up & down» handle trick trying to disengage the lock even though the light is green. You need to be patient and learn the knack otherwise you’ll be frustrated and the elevator isn’t the fastest so trips to reception are slow.
Overall much better than average, courteous staff, generic breakfast, not noisy.

Great location and easy to find! Less than 15 minutes from MSP airport and Mall of America. Note that there is no entrance from Lone Oak Rd so you’ll have to drive down Eagandale Pl. There’s a Shell gas station and Lone Oak Grill that are a stone throw from the hotel. Free wifi and breakfast, like all Hampton Inns. I didn’t experience any issues with my stay here.

I love Hampton Inns and this one is no exception. Staff is very friendly and the rooms are comfortable and quiet. Affordable. Definitely recommend this hotel.

Ok, despite the rating, this isn’t a 5-​star hotel, but it’s a Hampton Inn, so you knew that. The thing is, I’ve stayed here at least a half-​dozen times over the past few years now, and the place has come to feel like a home away from home. The rooms are decent sized for a Hampton, some folks seem to say it’s smaller, but I think it’s bigger than the average Hampton room — my only issue would be how the sink in the bathroom is on an angle. Otherwise, the place was recently renovated, staff is helpful, free breakfast and all the rest. We’ve never used the pool, but it certainly appears to be a hit among the young set each time we are there.
It’s a great location too — we have family in different parts of the Twin Cities, and this place makes it easy to reach all of them, and the airport as well. Downtown of either Minneapolis or St. Paul is only 20 minutes away as well. There is also an excellent bar/​grill type restaurant, Loan Oak Grille, that is just across the parking lot.
Finally, said the staff was helpful — but that’s an understatement, over the years they have bent over backwards to help us with any issues or questions we had, it is the type of service that keeps us coming back.
So I guess you could say it’s the 5-​star of Hampton Inns…

This hotel was adequate. We stayed here over a weekend. The room was smaller in size, there was not much closet space and the bathroom didn’t have much of a sink area for toiletries. One thing I really did not like is that in order to get outside lighting, you had to completely pull open the shade! That uncovered the entire window and everybody that passed by could see whatever you were doing in the room… eek! But, the breakfast was good and the location was good for our purposes. I’ve stayed here a few times in the last couple of years and it is fairly standard. Not much more than that!

A very nicely updated property, friendly and helpful staff from front desk to house keeping to breakfast staff. All this at a very reasonable room rate, breakfast is the usual but love the waffles and coffee. Room is bright and layout was very space freindly, loved the king sized bed. Free internet unless you want to pay for a faster connection for $ 4.95 more a day. The small snack shop is property price, small ice cream cup was only $ 1.50. when I return to Minneapolis I will stay here again.

My family and I stayed here in Feb 2014 for three nights while in town for a wedding. This is by far the nicest Hampton Inn I have ever stayed. We were hit with a snowstorm the first night we were there and the hotel was plowed out and provided shovels as needed to help people get their cars out. The rooms were up to date and the furnitiure and furnishings were all in great condition. The hotel also has nice little touches like pictures of things from around Eagan. The workout room is very nice also for a Hampton with two treadmills, free-​weight dumbells, an eliptical, medicine balls, and a weight machine setup.

If you need a place to stay near the airport, this is it. The service here is really amazing. They go out of their way to be helpful. When I was supposed to fly in there was a bad storm and my flight was re-​scheduled for the next day. I forgot to call the hotel to cancel my room. The hotel manager actually called me on my cell to make sure I was ok and that I still needed my room. Then she credited the 1^st nights’ stay upon arrival. When I finally arrived there was a gift bag with snacks waiting for me in my room with a personal note. The next day, there was a water leak issue in the room below me and someone came up to my room rather early to see if it was my bathroom. I commented about it to the front desk (I wanted to make sure it was really a hotel employee!) & when I got back to my room that night, there was a Starbucks card with a handwritten apology note. And finally, when I had to go to the airport the next day at 4:30am, they drove me there — with a smile! ;-)

Great value for the room! Our room was $ 89 and is clean and nice. Would definitely stay here again.

Staying here two nights on my trip from California to Minnesota to take my medical board examination at the Mayo Clinic.
Easy drive from the MSP airport. Plenty of free parking. Located in a business park area. Decent highway access.
Staff were friendly and prompt in checking me in. Gave me quick info about local food (not much walking distance aside from sports grill), let me know about the pool and gym hours including adult-​only pool hour at night (nice), and coffee/​fruit available. Gave me a water bottle as well.
Elevator is a bit slow. Room smelled and appeared clean. Small HDTV, free internet access, coffee machine, etc. Air conditioner worked fine. Everything seems to be in place. Pillows and bed were comfortable. A little noisy from one flight going overhead.
Went downstairs mid-​morning for workout. Tiny workout rectangle of a room with two treadmills, elliptical, and recumbent exercise bike. Pool was empty, but from the looks of the crowd in the dining area, a lot of kids had just taken a dip. Pool and hot tub look small. With the amount of land out here in suburbia, you’d think the workout facilities might be at least as big as the cramped ones you find in big city hotels which are already hurting for space.
1 star off for the slow elevators and miniscule workout/​pool area. Otherwise, affordable, clean, and up to par. Would come back here again if passing by.
