SpringHill Suites Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport/Mall Of America
Bundled park tickets off the interstate
About this hotel
Sitting off Interstate 494 about 3.5 miles from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, this all-suite property runs a free airport shuttle and studio rooms with a 32-inch flat-screen and a separate sofa-bed seating area, useful for a toddler's nap while older kids wind down nearby. It is currently the one hotel on the strip that bundles Water Park of America access directly into the stay rather than selling tickets separately at the park entrance, which removes a transaction on an already busy arrival day. A state-of-the-art gym and business centre round out the amenities, geared more toward a passing business traveler than the water park crowd, but useful for an early workout during a nap window. Guests highly rate the very comfy beds and the top location for airport access.
- Studio suites with sofa-bed zone
- Free airport shuttle
- Bundled water park tickets
Our take
This suits a family flying into MSP without a rental car who wants the shuttle and the bundled tickets to remove two logistics headaches at once, less so a family driving in who won't use the airport shuttle and could find a better per-night value with a standard room plus separate tickets elsewhere.
- ✓Confirm the bundled access terms cover your full stay length before booking, since offers can shift by season.
- ✓Use the free airport shuttle on arrival day to skip a taxi or rideshare straight from baggage claim.
- ✓Request the studio's sofa-bed zone specifically if a toddler's nap schedule matters to your itinerary.
Why we love it

Why guests love itChecking in after a delayed flight, we went straight from the free shuttle to swimsuits without a second stop at a ticket counter, since our room already covered water park access. The studio's sofa-bed corner also meant our toddler napped through the afternoon while we packed for day two, and the state-of-the-art gym gave one of us a quick workout before everyone else woke up for a second round of slides the next morning.
