Best Western Bloomington Edina - Minneapolis

When life gives you lemons When our flight was delayed multiple times and then canceled, we stayed a day and a half here. It was freshly renovated and appeared brand new inside. The staff were very helpful and friendly. There is a Dennys next door which was a bonus since we didn’t have a vehicle. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Reconsider this one If you're looking for an unforgettable hotel experience, look no further than the Best Western in Bloomington! We arrived at the delightful hour of 3 a.m. and were greeted by what seemed to be a friendly staff member. Turns out, they were just practicing their improv skills, because what followed was nothing short of a comedy sketch.First up, a surprise $200 fee – it's like they threw us a surprise party, only without the fun. When we finally made it to our rooms, we were treated to a vintage light show with flickering bulbs and no clocks in sight. Who needs to know the time when you're living in a Best Western time warp?The key card system was a nostalgic trip down memory lane, harking back to the early 2000s. No fancy NFC technology here – just good old-fashioned card swiping. It’s like paying tribute to the glory days of credit cards.Proximity to the Mall of America was a plus, but the real highlight was the kids' water park. Picture this: flimsy wristbands that fall off faster than you can say "family vacation." Lose one, and you're down $25 – a small price to pay for paper jewelry. Breakfast came with the wristbands, but if you enjoy IHOP, just head there instead.Now, the pool experience was top-notch. Security patrols every 15 minutes to enforce the sacred wristband rule. Special shoutout to Ryan from Blue Line Investigation, who ensures the wristband law is followed with military precision. Never mind the kids running, roughhousing, or the memorable incident on the water slide. Tim’s got his eyes on the prize: wristbands and nothing else.After our paper wristbands mysteriously vanished, we approached the front desk hero, Yussuf. His customer service skills shone through as he suggested we pay $100 for new ones. His crowning moment was when he threw papers in my wife's face – truly a masterclass in hospitality.Despite our best efforts to speak to a manager, it seems they were as elusive as a unicorn. Shoutout to Greg, wherever you are. We did manage to dig our wristbands out of the garbage, but by then, the magic was gone.The store by the front desk was a hidden gem, often closed, and the water dispenser stayed empty on scorching days – a testament to the hotel’s commitment to hydration challenges. And let’s not forget the shower experience, akin to four kids with Super Soakers aiming right at your face. Refreshing, to say the least.In conclusion, the Best Western in Bloomington offers an experience you won’t soon forget. For all future visits, we'll be exploring other options and suggest you do the same.

STAY AWAY Smells like crap, I recently stayed at this hotel, and I was extremely disappointed. The entire place reeked of weed, cigarettes, and mold, making it nearly unbearable to stay. It's clear that the hotel is not well-maintained, with dirty, worn-out facilities and an overall lack of cleanliness. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Very disappointed in stay. Would never go back Hotel had a lingering musty/smokey smell to it in both the hallways and room. It’s an older hotel that looked as if they tried to modernize it but some of the walls had water bubbles on it. Hotel was not kept clean in the common areas/ rooms. Our room was left unlocked all day after the cleaning staff finished cleaning the room. The outdoor smoking areas were right outside guests rooms and the smoke came into the room.

Room smelled like cigs had a broken toilet not super thrilled about the experience Toilet seat slide right off toilet, was clearly broken, room had cigarette smell even tho it was a non smoking room, price was increased due to natural disaster power outage so they took advantage of the situation. Usually a decent hotel but not super thrilled this time around
