"A positive experience. The hotel room was spacious, with a large TV and several USB ports. The bed was comfortable. Noisy friend, though, and the bathroom fan wouldn't turn off. Friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast wasn't bad. 2022-03-30"

"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.

"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"
"Short walk to the Mall of America, and there's a shuttle to the airport. I've stayed at this motel many times, and it's always been clean and fresh, with pleasant employees and a nice breakfast bar in the attached restaurant. Limited choices, but the food is good. I'd definitely stay here again.2019-05-10"

"The room had a kitchen, but wasn't equipped with dishes or utensils. A dog howled on and off the two days we stayed. Small bathroom. Minimal grab-and-go breakfast. The staff was friendly, but I don't think we'll stay at this hotel again.2015-08-25"
"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"

"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"

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.
