We had a mix of experiences during our stay. The hotel rooms were spacious and clean, making it easy for our family to relax. However, the service could definitely use some improvement, particularly at check-in and during busy times at the water park. While the location was ideal for accessing local attractions, aspects like dining and the arcade didn't meet our expectations, which was disappointing. Overall, it was a good stay, but some issues kept it from being great.

I recently stayed at this hotel, located conveniently close to the Mall of America. The rooms were spacious and neatly maintained, which was a big plus. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, especially with a lackluster breakfast. While the water park was entertaining, the noisy air conditioning unit in the room was a bit of a drawback, but the overall value for families is quite good.

Overall, the hotel offers a good water park experience that kids absolutely love, but the cleanliness and dining options leave much to be desired. The rooms, while spacious, were not as well-kept as I expected, and the service felt overwhelmed at times. If you're planning a family trip focused on the water park, it might be worth considering, but be prepared for some shortcomings in other areas.
