Embassy Suites by Hilton Bloomington/Minneapolis

Functional and a nice hotel. Curtains had a several weird staining on them all along the front noticed right away… odd but everything else was good 👍 We stayed for a leisure visit, Traveled with pet; was easy to take dog outside easily accessed exits. Small elevators but they function properly so is just ok (as it was harder to navigate a full luggage cart with all guests in same place ) without having to be smushed together oddly! Neat view in glass elevator! Construction made this hotel a bear to get too unfortunately- plenty of parking that you need permit for! Was asked for vehicle info upon checkin. Friendly check in staff, Ladies at breakfast were very polite and friendly and speedy making omelets that were very tasty!! Clean n noise was not problem but probably should get updated

Plus: they have construction going on at the top three floors, which they make you aware of. It’s not intrusive at all.|Minus: the construction affects the peace and quiet, which I believe is very likely at other times. The start time makes noise for late sleep difficult, and it’s tough to quietly relax during the day. |Plus: they have times for free snacks and drinks during the day, sort of a reception.|Minus: they have a lounge that has bizarre hours. We stayed here to enjoy a drink at the end of the day, but it was never open in the evenings… never. |Plus: the room was comfortable and clean. The bed was great. |Minus: staff is grumpy, and doesn’t smile. I felt like a necessary intrusion into their day. The front desk night people are downright rude, and the foul language was offensive,

Positive: The breakfast is Outstanding!! Negative: Prior to this stay parking has been free. $12 seems a lot too much in the suburbs. The reason for the charge was that that bar/club to the north has live music and some of Their customers park over by the hotel. That is Not a reason to charge your guests!

I am so disappointed in my stay here. We were informed we could check in early, however when we arrived, they stated there was no room for us and it would be a few minutes. We waited over an hour in a frigid lobby, had to ask again and they said they could check us in- totally forgot about us. Outlets in room pulled out of wall. Whole building under construction, didn’t tell us ahead of time. The shower was burning hot, gave us 3 towels for 4 people, no soap. When we got more towels, toilet paper and soap, housekeeping came and took all of it out and replaced it with the original 3 towels and one single roll of toilet paper. Ice machine out of 5th floor, only working machine is on the third floor, however, when we came back from shopping, the ice machine was totally gone. No ice machine in

Place was fine...clean, good service etc. we however chose to pay more to stay here cuz of happy hour and the breakfast. The breakfast was quite good, lots of options. Happy hour however seemed like kinda sketchy. The bartender short poured everything which is fine and frankly expected. Mainly my problem was having only popcorn and tortilla chips for the food. I've stayed other embassy suites and had other MUCH better options for food during happy hour. Was it worth the extra money still, probably.
