TownePlace Suites by Marriott Minneapolis near Mall of America
Extended-stay comfort near the mall
About this hotel
Rooms here offer air-conditioning and private bathrooms with modern amenities, built on the extended-stay TownePlace layout for families staying several nights. Leisure facilities include a sun terrace, an indoor swimming pool and an outdoor fireplace, giving families a few different evening spots beyond the room itself. A breakfast buffet running continental, American and buffet style rounds out the morning routine before heading to Water Park of America nearby, and a lounge adds an additional common space for the group to spread out, useful on a longer stay when everyone eventually wants a bit of distance from the same hotel room after several days together on the road away from home.

Our take
This suits a family wanting extended-stay practicality with a few different common spaces to use across a multi-night trip, less so a couple on a short one- or two-night stay, since the value here builds gradually with the length of the visit to Bloomington and its water park district nearby.
- ✓Gather at the outdoor fireplace in the evening as a change of pace from another water park session.
- ✓Use the sun terrace on a clear afternoon for a break from the indoor pools.
- ✓Fill up at the breakfast buffet before an early start toward Water Park of America to beat the midday crowds.

Why guests love itThe outdoor fireplace became our evening spot on the two nights we didn't have the energy for a second water park session, and the breakfast buffet each morning kept our four-night stay from turning into a string of rushed restaurant runs. The sun terrace was a nice surprise too, a quiet spot for coffee before the kids woke up and demanded we head straight back to the slides again.
