Staybridge Suites Minneapolis-Bloomington by IHG
20 minutes downtown, gym, pool and hot tub
About this hotel
Sitting about 20 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, this Staybridge Suites hosts a 24-hour gym, an indoor pool and a hot tub, plus a 24-hour snack shop in the lobby for late-night cravings after a long water park day. Suites include a living area with a sofa bed, work desk and cable TV, built for the extended-stay traveler running errands, workouts and multi-day family trips around a single base. Free breakfast rounds out the value stack alongside free private parking, and the hot tub in particular becomes the property's standout evening spot after standing in slide lines. The roughly twenty-minute drive to downtown Minneapolis also opens up an easy day trip for a family looking to break up a multi-day water park stay with something outside Bloomington.

Our take
This suits a family staying three nights or longer who wants the suite layout, free breakfast and free parking all bundled together, less so a one-night stay, since the extended-stay value here is built for longer trips rather than a quick overnight visit passing through Bloomington on the way elsewhere.
- ✓Use the hot tub as your evening wind-down after a full day of slide lines at the main water park.
- ✓Take advantage of the 24-hour snack shop for late cravings rather than a drive out after the kids are in bed.
- ✓Combine free breakfast and free parking here to keep a multi-night trip's total cost predictable.

Why guests love itBy our fourth night at Staybridge, the hot tub had become the whole family's unofficial evening ritual after Water Park of America, and the free breakfast each morning meant one less thing to plan before heading back out to the slides. The 24-hour snack shop in the lobby also saved us a late-night drive more than once when the kids were still hungry after an early dinner.
