"I had a really great stay. Loved the location west of the airport, and the price was good. The hotel looked newly renovated. Pets were allowed, and there was an airport shuttle. The beds were super comfortable. Good Mexican restaurant just across the parking lot. You can't go wrong staying here.2021-07-10"
"The hotel was clean and quiet, but the AC was a little loud. Good place to stay.2021-07-10"
"The motel was shabby, and the elevator was filthy. The bedsheets were torn, the beds were skimpy and lumpy, and the floor was uncarpeted linoleum that seemed institutional. The AC was noisy. The bathroom mirror frame was veneer, and it was torn. The balcony doors were permanently locked, so there was no access to fresh air. No airport shuttle. If you enjoy a clean, safe environment and nice appearance, don't stay here.2023-07-18"

"Good rates, but the quality was inferior. The hotel was supposedly smoke-free, but our room had an overwhelming cigarette smell. Our request for a room change was granted. The bathroom light switch wouldn't turn off in the 2nd room, and there was only 1 set of towels. Good check-in process.2020-09-14"
"Just 8 minutes from the airport. Great experience from check-in to checkout. The hotel room was large, comfortable, and quiet. The attached Outback restaurant was convenient. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.2019-03-25"
"Centrally located. The hotel was a good, affordable choice for us since we just needed a place to sleep and shower. It had been nicely updated. Give it a try.2018-07-23"

"The hotel staff was nice, helpful, and friendly.2018-11-17"

"Easy access to the freeway, and right across the street from Mall of America. The room was extremely clean, and included a full-sized fridge and dishwasher. The hotel staff was friendly and welcoming. Plentiful restaurant options in the area.2022-05-17"
"This is one of the best hotels I've stayed in for a long time. Great location, and there was a shuttle to Mall of America with nice drivers. The room was spacious and met my expectations. The staff was friendly. Breakfast was far better than average. If you want a top-quality hotel, stay here.2021-09-27"

"Great hotel.2018-05-16"
"The hotel was excellent, and the employees went out of their way to help guests during the blizzard. The only negative was the shuttle to the mall; it was far from the mall entrance and hard to see.2018-04-24"
"The hotel was horrible. We booked a room for 6 nights, but we left after the first night and went somewhere much better. Don't stay here.2019-06-08"
"I was extremely impressed with this hotel. Close to MOA and the airport, and within walking distance of the mall. The rates were reasonable. For me, it was the little things, like real glass drinking glasses, ample towels, and a TV in each room. The room was comfortable and clean, and I didn't hear other guests or planes despite being right across from the airport. The staff was courteous. The pool was a bit small, but it was fine for children. Excellent breakfast. I highly recommend staying here. I'd definitely stay here again.2019-04-02"
"Centrally located, and there was a shuttle to nearby attractions. The hotel room was nice, affordable, and up-to-date. Check-in was fast, and the staff was welcoming and accommodating. There was a free hot breakfast to start the day.2018-12-23"

"We had multiple rooms; they were clean and comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed. The staff was welcoming and accommodating from the moment we checked in. The free shuttle to area attractions was an added bonus. Highly recommend this hotel to travelers with kids or pets.2015-10-21"
"The room was clean and well-maintained, and had several updates. Check-in was simple. The staff was quite pleasant, but professional and efficient. The food was good and fresh, and the breakfast area was pleasant, clean, and well-staffed. I recommend this hotel.2023-12-02"
"The hotel room met my needs, and the staff was accommodating. Ask for a room away from the elevator.2022-12-21"
"The hotel was OK, but the shuttle only ran from 6 AM to 11 PM.2022-11-13"
"The beds in my hotel room were comfortable, but the pillows were small. Good TV channel selection. Excellent complimentary breakfast to feed hungry teen boys; there were lots of hot and cold selections.2016-04-29"
"This hotel was pretty bad. The room was small, but the bathroom was smaller; I practically had to crawl into the bathtub in order to close the door. The sink was outside the bathroom, and there was no counter or place to put toiletries. The microwave and refrigerator were on the floor of the portable closet, and the microwave cord wasn't even long enough to reach the outlet. I had to move them to the desk and charge my devices on the floor by the bathroom sink. The bedside lamp didn't work. The hot water was just lukewarm. The cookies in the lobby were hard. Stay somewhere else.2016-04-19"
"The motel room was OK, but I had trouble increasing the temperature. The bathroom sink didn't drain. No on-site restaurant.2022-09-18"
"This motel has declined in upkeep and cleanliness. The room had stains, the outlets were dusty, and there was mold in the bathtub. Find a better option.2022-08-22"
"I expected better for the price. The SWAT team was at the motel looking for a possible suspect, and guests weren't provided any information. I didn't feel safe with the way the situation was handled. Not enough breakfast food for guests the 1st day. There was enough food the 2nd day, but it wasn't good. The day I checked out, a housekeeper came in the room despite the Do Not Disturb sign on the door. The checkout clerk didn't ask how my stay was. No consistent shuttle to Mall of America. Poor service overall.2022-08-06"

"The hotel was convenient, and the airport shuttle was a plus. The room was clean, and the front desk clerks were friendly. I ate at Urbana, and it was a disappointment. The woman making my dessert put whipped cream on her hand and then put her hand in her mouth. I left an item behind and called and left a message about it with the housekeeping supervisor. After 4 calls, I have yet to hear back from her.2019-09-11"
"The hotel was clean. The front desk staff was helpful and adhered to Covid precautions.2021-02-25"

"The hotel and room were clean, and the bed and bedding were comfortable. The room had everything we needed. All the employees were extremely welcoming and accommodating. Nice continental breakfast. Enjoy your stay.2017-01-17"
"Great location, with a tram right outside the door. The hotel was near Mall of America. Breakfast was free, and there was a bar and grill on-site. You can't go wrong staying here.2023-10-10"
"Good hotel in every way. I highly recommend staying here.2019-10-02"
"The 2-room suite was nice for privacy and working. The hotel staff provided good service.2019-04-26"
"Close to the park and fly. The room was so clean, and the hotel clerk was kind and pleasant. The food was the only reason I didn't give this place a higher rating.2023-12-28"
"Good hotel stay and good transportation services. There was too much chlorine in the pool. I recommend staying here.2018-08-21"
"The hotel was being remodeled, and I had a lovely, brand-new room that was very comfortable. The staff was accommodating, and the shuttle took me to the airport at 4 AM. I was pleased.2016-06-01"
"The room was fine, but the common areas could've been cleaner. Great hotel staff.2019-04-11"
"The room was nice, clean, and quiet, and the bed was comfortable. The heater fan was really loud and screeched all night long. The were slushy, slippery snow on the front sidewalk and interior entryway; little shoveling had been done on sidewalks or the parking lot. The hotel clerk was ordering pizza when I entered and didn't look up, but someone else finally came to check me in. 2019-02-12"
"The hotel room was dusty, the closet door was broken, and there was an old shirt left in the drawer. We were moved to another room.2018-10-06"
"Close to the mall and IKEA. The hotel was in need of renovation and a good cleaning. It smelled musty and like stale smoke. The AC in my room didn't work well, and the coffee maker was missing a part. There were multiple spiders in the room. The bathroom door wouldn't close, and there was mold on the wall. There was a $25 pet fee. Limited breakfast. Don't park near the trees unless you want bird poop all over your vehicle. Keep your expectations low and you'll be fine.2022-09-12"
"My non-smoking room smelled like smoke, and the counter wasn't clean. The hotel had 2 great things going for it: the friendly and helpful reception staff, and a better grab and go breakfast than most, with variety and healthy options. The common areas could've been cleaner, and the hallways needed vacuuming. The floor in the breakfast area was sticky.2021-10-06"
"The beds were clean and comfortable, but the bathroom was a bit outdated and the floor wasn't clean. There were some cars full of junk in the back parking lot. Don't stay at this hotel.2019-11-18"

I’ve been using HotelGuides for over 8 years. The agents are very helpful, and they try to accommodate every request. I like that when they email a booking confirmation to you, they include the hotel's address as well as its interstate exit number.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
