Top Dinkytown Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Bloomington - Mall of America

8/10 Good

"Good customer service"

Hyatt Place Minneapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This is a well located hotel. If you have a car, you’ll figure out the way to work that out…the hotel lobby is on level 8 of the building. Check in was good, but they didn’t discuss parking/parking pass at all. This became a problem later, but still was solved. The bar/bartender were not the most well attended. A very nice, complete breakfast. Hotel if very very clean and our 2 bedroom suite was perfect for what we needed."

Delta Hotels by Marriott Minneapolis Northeast

10/10 Excellent

"We were very pleased with our stay. I booked this hotel due to its proximity to the MN state fairgrounds. The staff was great, hotel and room were clean and it was quiet, too. Parking was easy since they have a lot onsite and no concerns from a security standpoint. I appreciate that there was a shuttle available to/from the fair. I would definitely stay here again!"
