This was my second hotel of the week. I'm a business traveler and had no idea I had a reservation at a hotel that houses the "nation's biggest indoor waterpark." Seriously. I have a lot of little complaints: the front desk staff was not helpful at check-in -- where to park, where's the elevator, that sort of thing. The work... More

I appreciate your candid review regarding your recent stay. I'm very sorry we missed your expectations in so many areas however I appreciate the opportunity to correct any shortfalls thanks to your detailed review. I agree that our hotel is not always the most suited for the business traveler especially if traveling on weekends. During the week, the park is... More

Our family chose to stay here the night before my soldier left for Afghanistan. My husband was in uniform and had orders to board his plane at 0900 the next morning which beat leaving at 0500 with a newborn and two toddlers. They did not give him the military discount because it was not official military business because his family... More

Thank you for sharing your concerns about receiving a military discount during your stay. I apologize that we were not more flexible with your situation. I would encourage you to contact me directly and I would be happy to explain the situation in more detail. Helping me understand what we should have done better is well worth refunding the difference... More

Our family really enjoyed the stay in this hotel. We booked the family suite which well exceeded our expectations. It was very clean with modern decor and upgrades, and offered plenty of space for our family to gather (there was a full sectional couch). The city views from the suite were also beautiful. The indoor water park and arcade room... More

We had a 6am flight so booked this hotel to be close to airport...Wrong. It is about a 10-15 min drive to airport and the shuttle service doesn't start until 5am so we had to use a park and fly or take a cab. The front desk was very indifferent ....basically said, "too bad". RUDE. Also, there is a water... More

I'm really sorry we didn't suit your needs as a business or park and fly hotel. I'm not sure who transported you to the airport however 10-15 minutes well exceeds the normal 5-7 minutes it... More

This is my family's 2nd stay at this hotel and there are no complaints here. Our check-in took about a minute; no lines. It was quick and flawless.

After visiting relatives in northern Minnesota I recently stayed at this hotel as a family break, before flying home to Australia. I stayed there with my husband and three children. The room was spacious and comfortably accommodated us all. It can sometimes be difficult to find hotel accommodation that sleeps 5, but the family rooms were perfect for our short... More

Great hotel room for a family with up to 4 kids. We had a standard room with bunk beds. Bunk beds are in a separate room with two bunk beds (sleeping 4). There is no door to the room but it still gave good privacy so that we could watch TV or read after our kids went to sleep without... More
