Element by Marriott Bloomington Mall of America
Kitchenette suites with a sun terrace
About this hotel
Family rooms here include air-conditioning and private bathrooms with modern amenities, and the property's leisure facilities cover a fitness centre, indoor swimming pool, sun terrace and free bicycles. A wide breakfast buffet runs continental, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, American and buffet style, covering nearly every dietary need without a separate restaurant stop. This Element location earns a 9.3 rating across 507 reviews, with guests specifically rating the top location at 9.7, reflecting how close the property sits to the Mall of America and water park corridor, and the sun terrace gives the stay a rare outdoor breather between indoor pool sessions on a clear Minnesota afternoon between slide runs at the main park.
- Sun terrace
- Diverse breakfast buffet
- Free bicycles
Our take
This suits a family wanting kitchenette-style practicality with a strong breakfast buffet covering dietary restrictions, less so a group prioritizing a full sit-down restaurant on site, since dining here centers on the breakfast buffet rather than a dinner menu or an evening kitchen service option for later meals during the stay.
- ✓Check the breakfast buffet's vegan and gluten-free rotation if your group has dietary restrictions to manage.
- ✓Use the sun terrace on a clear day for a break from the indoor water park crowds without leaving the hotel.
- ✓Take advantage of the free bicycles for a short ride around the neighborhood on a rest day.

Why guests love itThe vegan and gluten-free options at breakfast meant our whole extended family, dietary restrictions and all, could eat together before Water Park of America each morning, and the sun terrace gave us a rare bit of Minnesota daylight between pool sessions. The free bicycles also gave the teenagers in our group something to do on the one afternoon they'd had enough of the indoor slides for a while.
