Hampton Inn Minneapolis Bloomington West
Family rooms, indoor pool and hot tub
About this hotel
Family rooms here come with free WiFi, air-conditioning and modern amenities, and the property's own fitness centre pairs with an indoor swimming pool and hot tub for a wellness stop beyond the main water park. Breakfast runs continental, vegetarian, gluten-free, American and buffet style, wide enough to cover most dietary needs without a separate restaurant stop, and free private parking removes another line item from the bill. A lounge and 24-hour front desk round out the amenities, with strong guest ratings on both the location and the comfort of the beds, and the hot tub in particular gets singled out by families as the property's best feature after a long day of slides.
- Indoor pool
- Hot tub
- Diverse breakfast buffet
Our take
This suits a two-kid family wanting a family-room layout rather than a full suite, with breakfast variety covering dietary restrictions, less so a larger group of five or more who would outgrow the family-room configuration and need a true multi-room suite elsewhere on the strip nearby, closer to the mall entrance itself.
- ✓Check the buffet's gluten-free and vegetarian rotation at breakfast if anyone in your group has dietary needs.
- ✓Use the hot tub as an evening wind-down after a full day standing in slide lines at the main water park.
- ✓Take advantage of free private parking if you're driving in rather than flying into MSP.

Why guests love itThe breakfast buffet's gluten-free options meant our older kid, who avoids wheat, actually ate a real meal before the water park instead of skipping straight to snacks. The hot tub that evening became the unplanned highlight after a long day of slides wore everyone out, and the free private parking meant we never once worried about the car while it sat there for four straight nights of our stay.
