What guests think

Reviews of Best Western Bloomington Edina - Minneapolis highlight generally clean, updated rooms and a convenient location near the airport and Mall of America, with many guests praising friendly front-desk staff and good value for short, budget-minded stays.

Common frustrations include a frequently lukewarm or murky hot tub and ventilation issues in the pool area, understocked or mediocre breakfast at busy times, and occasional maintenance problems like broken ice machines, elevator glitches, and finicky in-room fixtures.

Bummed the hot tub wasn’t at 100%. Luke warm water and not enough water. Pool area in general needed help - no working light in bathroom, towel bin completely full at 7am.

Less than friendly front desk staff. Breakfast wasn't good. View out the pool was their dumpster. Side entry/exit door didnt lock. So many hotles in the area to pick from suggest finding better hotel options in the area.

The continental breakfast was good. The elevator wasnt working upon checkin and we were given a 3rd floor room. We had to wait to go to our room after checkin until the elevator was fixed as my party wasnt physically able to take the stairs.

One of the dresser drawers kept opening and would not stay shut even though nothing was in it. The hot tub water was so murkey you could barely see your knees. It was also only lukewarm temperature and very disappointing.

The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly. The breakfast, on our first day, was mostly gone when we got down there. There was supposed to be an hour left. The beds were firm and you could feel the springs in them. The hot tub was not very hot and the jets didn't work very well. The pools was nice and the towels were restocked frequently.

Room was nice. Room, hallways, lobby was clean. Staff was friendly. Good sized pool at a nice warm temperature. Hot tub was not hot, a little warmer than the pool, and the water smelled funny. Both pools could use a cleaning, could see brown on walls. Breakfast options were pretty limited, nothing was fresh.

Nice stay close to MSP and Mall of America; this hotel has a solid breakfast offering snd ample pool space. Gym also is good with free weights. This hotel is a worthwhile stay for families. We enjoyed our time and is next to a Dennys. Only drawback was bed and pillows were a bit on soft side.

Colored man was smoking a joint not 30 feet from front doors. Older hotel & could use updates. Definitely dated, pool was cool & hot tub almost too hot, no regular bubble action & little flow. Bed has impression feel of where people lay all the time. Breakfast was fair, very simple & basic.

Swimming pool and hot tub were nice. Fitness room is decent, some ellipticals, treadmills and free weights. Room was clean with supplies. Breakfast was waffles, eggs, sausage, cereal and bread products. Desk was short staffed (what isn't these days), so it was difficult to get help sometimes. That's the only con, though.

I was disappointed. We had to change rooms upon arrival because of how dirty the first was. The second wasn't much better, but tolerable. It reaked of weed everywhere. Hallways, pool, and even the elevator. The pool was so hot and uncomfortable my children, who are fish, asked to get out after 15 minutes.

Room 204 was so nasty when we got in there. You could tell they did the bare minimum as far as cleaning goes. They didn't wipe down the table or tv stand/dresser from previous stay. There was (what looked like) snot dripping down the wall. The walls were so dirty and dingy. The bathroom had toothpaste splattered on the walls. The shower was so dirty and the drain was clogged so the water didn't drain while taking a shower. Our room had a really weird smell to it. The paint job in the room was horrendous too. The room was next to the exit door and you could hear people going in and out all night. I had to buy sanitizing wipes and clean the room myself before I could feel comfortable touching anything. Didn't even sleep under the covers, just bought my own blanket and slept on top of the covers. Definitely would not recommend.

There was a long black hair in the shower before we used the shower. Also disturbing was the long black hair I discovered when unrolling a folded supposedly clean towel. We stayed at the Best Western to be frugal. Next time I am willing to spend more to stay at a nicer hotel.

Room was not fully cleaned. There was a lot of stains on the bathroom ceiling and spiders in both the bathroom and main room. The room key didn’t work when we first got there, and then there wasn’t a TV remote. Hot tub was more like a warm bath, and not all the hets were working. Breakfast was absolutely terrible. Would recommended stopping somewhere else then eating the “hot” breakfast that was provided.

Staff was great and friendly, but the facilities need some serious TLC. Multiple machines at breakfast were out of order both days and the AC unit in our room was breaking making an ungodly racket when running. Had to keep the AC off in the middle of this summer's heat wave to get any sleep. The front desk guy came up to check it out the next day and immediately said "oh wooow" upon entering. Of course the maintenance guy had already left and the place was fully booked so nothing he could do. This is in addition to the apparent makeup stains smeared on the headboard of the bed and the cigarette butts all over the indoor stairway and the ONE elevator for the entire hotel that felt like it was going to plummet to your death at any moment from all the jerking and squeaking it did. All in all won't be staying here again if I can help it without some major renovations.

I suppose you get what you pay for. The price was cheap, but every time I unfolded a “clean” towel, hair that wasn’t mine fell out. The sound proofing was bad—kept us awake with foot pounding above us. The bathroom in room was very small. The breakfast was not stocked well on a Saturday morning. They ran out of coffee, juice, and waffle mix constantly. The poor staff were working out of a closet nowhere near the cafe to dine. They had to “cook” the “hot breakfast” in microwaves near the bedroom hallways. The temp when we were there was definitely hot outside, but the A/C could not keep up with the humidity. The pool was actually hot. Probably 95 degrees in the pool. Like warm bath water. Not refreshing on a hot day at all. We were not impressed. We should have paid the extra few bucks to stay at the Hilton nextdoor.

The pool was very nice and the rooms were adequate. The only negative we had was that the wifi didn't reach our room and we had to call a company that the front desk told us to call to get wifi to our room. Also, There was hardly ever anyone at the front desk at most times. The breakfast was decent though.

We spent 3 nights at this property. It was conveniently located near I-494. Construction next door didn't really impinge on our stay. We were always able to find parking. The room was clean and spacious. The showerhead leaked a little after adjusting the spray, but otherwise we had no complaints.

Beds were comfortable but do not stay on the first floor. Between the super loud beeping from the room they make the food at 6am, the pool, the lobby, the laundry room, the breakfast room, the tv lounge etc there should not be any rooms for sleeping on that floor. The big gap under our door kept out no noise all day/night.

The receptionist was very rude. We were trying to check in a little bit earlier but she was rude to us in telling us about 3pm is the check in and then we ended up waiting for our room to get it ready for us. She should not be working behind that disk. Her name i think is Honesty. I am not 100% sure. She was bossy and seemed annoyed. Not very good in treating her customers. I dont want to stat there again with that kind of treatment.

Every inch of the room, and hotel were spotless. Breakfast was amazing. The pool was great for my son. The parking area was well lit. Area was safe & convenient. Zero complaints. P.S. My son remembers your 2 names even after getting back home! Thank you!

The staff at the front was not very polite and didn't give me full details of the amenities and what time breakfast is. I asked them if there was other exits in the building to the back and she told me that I would have to go through the front entrance and walk all the way to the back. The hotel neighbourhood was sketchy and had people hanging around in the evening at the back parking lot and it made me feel uncomfortable. There was also a white van that was circling around the parking lot when we parked late at night. We stayed at the 4th floor and it smelt like weed in the elevator and in the hallways. The room we stayed at was very nice but the washroom was very small and there could be only one person at a time. There was also someone's false eyelashes in one of the queen beds and in the swimming pool. Breakfast was good, but one of the waffle makers was broken and it was never fixed during the 2 nights I stayed. Most of the condiments would run out and you would have to ask to refill them up since they don't check on it. The hotel is nicely renovated inside, but the neighbourhood is just not it. I wouldn't recommend and this wasnt the Best Western I was expecting.

Shower worked well and was clean. Didnt use pool or hot tub so cant comment on that. The breakfast was your typical hotel breakfast but did have strawberries for the waffles and even had chocolate syrup for the milk. Located in a decent area and close to Mall of America, Vikings training facility and Scheels. Definitely would stay again if back in the area.

breakfast during the week was spectacular from begining until close up. Saturday morning slept in, came to breakfastan 1 1/2 hour before close up and everything was empty, & a complete mess. only options available were make a waffle or dry bagel. then on way out to get something to eat a half hour later, the employee was wiping down tables and chairs then putting chairs up on the tables like closing up an hour early. on saturday. with people sitting at the other tables still trying to eat. very disappointing! especially since we had such a pleasant breakfast experience all the week days we were there.

The Best Western Bloomington Edina - Minneapolis is a nice hotel that had a good price when we booked. Room had nice color scheme. Beds looked clean and felt comfortable. We had no problems with noise in our room, but that might have been because the hotel wasn't too full on the nights we stayed. The free breakfast had some hot items and they were good, but there was no juice or oatmeal on the second morning. But it was still pretty good. The pool and whirlpool were very nice (open until 10 p.m. for kids, then I think until midnight for adults only), but I had to go to the front desk to ask for towels because there were no clean towels in the pool room. The location is good. Mall of America is just over a 10-minute drive east on I-494. There are also the Galleria and Southdale Center malls less than 10 minutes north on France Ave. Lots of other shopping and restaurants are nearby as well.
