What guests think

At Wyndham Garden Otsego-Minneapolis, many guests come for the on-site waterpark, which kids enjoy, while others report limited hours, occasional closures, crowding, and cleanliness concerns that include murky water, slippery surfaces, scarce tubes, and frequent towel or seating shortages.

Rooms are often spacious, but guests note inconsistent maintenance and comfort, citing intermittent hot water, hard beds, noise between floors, and occasional TV, Wi-Fi, or HVAC issues. Service feedback is mixed: many highlight friendly, accommodating front-desk help, while others describe slow responses, poor communication, or rude encounters. The location is convenient to restaurants, highways, and local venues, but dining is inconsistent, with varying breakfast policies, extra charges, occasional closures, and uneven quality. Expect a lively, family-focused stay with notable highs and trade-offs.

This is a nice hotel sized waterpark. The only challenge we had was determining when the waterpark was open. There were schedules listed in 3 different places on the website. They all conflicted. I got the "real" schedule from the front desk.

I have say I was VERY disappointed in our stay. Our reservation clear was for 4 people. Our room was set for 2 people in regards to towels and supplies. The fire alarm went off 3 times during our stay- twice during sleeping time and waking us up. Our room was on the main floor. The people above us were very loud. The walls must be very thin as we were able to hear their conversation as, their foot steps sounded like a herd of elephants over our room and continued well into the night. Their TV was so loud it woke me up several times Additionally, the mattresses in our room sagged and squeaked every time we shifted positions in bed. The electrical outlets in our room did not charge any of our phones over night. The breakfast was chaotic at best. Food was constantly empty. It took several requests for staff to refill silverware, napkins and food items. The waterpark was over crowded and unclean. Again very disappointed in our stay.

Hot tub broken, just for some part, unacceptable, too cheap to pay for the holiday or weekend service. Booked 2 months ago and get here and broke because of a part. Should have spare parts so it is never down. Wish the CEO was there for an ass chewing.

The pool was disgusting! It was brown and you couldn’t see the bottom. Rooms were fine and clean. Pool and all pool areas were nasty. It looked like you were swimming in mud. It smelled and there was no staff to handle the concession stand. There were no safety checks of the pool but honestly you couldn’t have found a kid in it if they were missing anyways. They have gone seriously downhill over the years.

Water slides were great. Water was warm. But it was real dark in the pool area with 12 lights that were out. Could not bring in your own beer or snacks to the pool😡. Building is under construction but it didnot say that on there website or Expedias. Parking lot was an ice rink. I think for how much they charge they could buy some salt.. No hot water the first night for a shower. Rooms were nice but the noise transferred right thru the floors.

They need more tubes or they need to not let children keep their tube after going down the slides, watched many kids have to wait for 30 minutes to get a tub. Witnessed a few moms chewing out the poor life cards over the situation and they didn't do anything about it other than apologize. They're probably not in the situation to make the rules up but something needs to come down from higher up.

When we got there, the bar and the restaurant were closed, the handicap door openers were broken and there were multiple holes in both our sheets and comforter. We found hair in the towels and our socks were black after walking on the floors for 4 minutes in our room. There were lightbulbs burnt out and the elevators were disgusting. There was an ash tray and joints just left by the front door that we saw staff smoking from as well. Felt super gross and when I called down to ask for more towels after we received no housekeeping, they threw a bunch of hand towels in a pile by our room door.

The arcade had a broken window and the wall trim was ripped up in a strange way. Upkeep very disappointing. Aside from the upkeep issues, the water park is enjoyable, just don't try to bring in your water bottle or the teenager manning the entrance will let you have it.

Our room had water damage in the ceiling. It smelt horrible/unhealthy in there. Very humid and sticky. Bed had boogers on the blankets. They had no additional rollaway beds OR any pillows or any additional blankets. We could hear EVERYTHING in the hallways. The air conditioner was very loud and made a bad noise all night long. The pool area was very slippery and had no towels. I should have honestly left. When we finally got to sleep (3 am due to noise, we went to bed at 10:30), we woke up in the morning feeling like we smoked an entire pack of Marb Reds (none of us smoke) . Everyone’s lungs felt really heavy from the humidity or whatever else was in the air….. I won’t ever be returning. Also, they charge $100 for “incidentals” on top of the room charge. I wonder if I should send them a bill for the hospital bills I might accrue if this stuff doesn’t clear out of our lungs from staying here.

However, staff were friendly and responsive. They fixed what broke and moved a bigger fridge in. They comped breakfast as we prepaid and they could not take money off. The waterpark is always fun.

We are used to staying at Marriott and this hotel was not to our liking. We are not complainers but what stood out: the freeway noise was SO loud, the pillows were so lumpy we bought new pillows at Walmart after the first night, and kids were running and screaming down the halls until early morning hours (there is a water park here and kids everywhere on weekends). It showed signs of wear and needs a refresh. Might be fine for some but we would not return.

Property was conveniently located where we needed to be. Staff was very uninformative when we checked in. Since the water park was closed, no one said anything about the continental breakfast being free on Saturday and Sundays. We just happened to ask and that's how we found out. No discount given since the water park was closed. Or most likely we weren't told of any other discounts that word given. Beds were very uncomfortable, sofa chair in the room was hard as a rock and the office chair laid back to where you thought you were going to fall backwards. Overall it was fine since we only stayed one night but probably would not book again.

It's decent. I've been here before and on the weekend so I was surprised that I had to pay for the buffet. If I had known that I would have gone somewhere better. The food was NOT worth the price. The beds were okay there is DEFINITELY room for improvement on how comfortable the beds are but hey the pillows try to make up for it. You get access to the water park but a huge disappointment that they close early on Sundays...4pm. there's no other pool area either for this hotel so if you wanted to go for a late dip or hot tub you're SOL at this hotel because they don't have a separate pool area. The ice machine was missing on the 4th floor were were staying on, so had to go to a different floor. Another inconvenience was the fact that the handicap button wasn't working. You can push but literally nothing happens and will not stay open for you if you're handicap or have a big haul you're trying to push through. They could also have better shampoo l, conditioner, soap options.

Had reservation for family trip for months. We check in without any issues. We go to our room and its the wrong room and find out the one i ordered was not available i guess. I get a standard room and only $50 a night came off. Fri we go down for breakfast and find out they only have breakfast on the weekends and was told it was free. So sat mornings we go down and its a buffet of reg hotel breakfast nothing special. Only thing that was enjoyable was the $4 dollars glass of orange juice. Yes it was not free got charged $50 for my wife and i. Was so glad i didnt have tho hole family join. I have stayed in much nicer places for way less. Will never stay there again. 4pm to 11am is not worrth $250+

To preface this; it was spring break for my 12yo son, its close to home i have stayed here before. Many renovations since i had stayed last, rooms are nice. Waterpark is nice. We had the breakfast buffet; cost $26 for us. Food was decent, service was terrible, i dont blame the workers but they seemed to lack management and direction. Im in hospitality, this frustrates me. Cleanlieness was, ok. The elevators were filthy. People are in and out of them with and without shoes, maybe sweep and mop them daily. Room was nice, but no carpeting which means mopping of some sort is necessary, my floors were sticky from previous occupation. Waterpark, again, fine. I would reccomend a small wall of cubbies for people to use to set their towel who dont need a chair just a location. Finiding a spot is near impossible if your not there at ths right moments. Lifegards were pretty lackluster in patroling, i stay with my kid so its not my concern but may be for others, but also, idk the policy for that so again, grain of salt. Check in was not polite, no information given, but again its busy, spring break for 97 districts she was probabky over it at that time. I wouldnt travel far for this stay, and luckily i dont have to. This is my perspective however, you ask my son and it was great.
