The hotel's own indoor swimming pool, fitness centre and bar cover an evening without needing to drive anywhere, and free private parking removes a daily fee found at some neighboring properties. Sitting in the airport corridor near Mall of America, this property earns an 8.9 rating built on 562 reviews, with guests calling out the top location specifically, and the walk-in showers make the practical daily routine easier for families juggling wet swimsuits and gear between pool sessions across a multi-night visit.

Our take
This suits a family wanting a bundled free-parking-and-pool stay without four-star mall-connected pricing, less so a group wanting to walk directly to the water park entrance, since this sits in the broader airport corridor rather than immediately next door to the slides themselves, requiring a short drive or shuttle ride instead.
- ✓Take advantage of free private parking if you're driving in with a car full of water park gear.
- ✓Use the on-site bar for an evening drink after the kids are down rather than driving out.
- ✓Request a room with the walk-in shower if mobility or a stroller-and-gear routine makes a tub awkward.

Why guests love itFree parking meant we never thought twice about the car sitting in the lot for four nights, and the hotel's own indoor pool and bar gave us a relaxed last evening in town after checking out of the water park itself a day early. The walk-in shower made the daily routine of rinsing off wet swimsuits and gear far easier than the tub-only setups we'd dealt with on past family trips elsewhere.
