“One of the best hotels in Mpls area”

very quiet, nicely furnished, great water park features for young and old, just a few minutes to downtown Mpls and close to other amenities in the North metro area

“Great time!”

My family had a great time at the Grand Rios. The room we stayed in was comfortable and clean. The waterpark was fun and was perfect for our family. We visited mid week so it wasn't overly crowded. We also spent time in the game room and had a great time. The young man working there was very nice to us and even treated us to a couple of free games. The only disappointment was the continental breakfast...we got there toward the end of service and you could tell everything had been picked over and they weren't refreshing any of the items. Other than that we had a great time and we will definitely go back again.

“nice hotel”

we had a wonderful time at this hotel- lots of things to do, room was clean - can't wait to go back. would definately recommend this hotel

“A Great Time All Around”

My husband and I took our first "married couple" trip this summer and chose the Grand Rios. We purchased water park passes and had a nice few hours on the slides (the stairs take most of your time), the other activities were more for kids. The restaurants and cafe all were exceptional, each meal we had was satisfactory. The staff was very nice and even accommodated with an early check in after we explained we had just driven 25 hours to get there and were eight hours early for check in. All staff and managers were polite and even made it a point to remember us when we came in, always a nice feeling. One thing at the water park, a couple of young kids just flirting and playing with a cell phone instead of assisting the tube slide riders with their tubes and safety. It was quite an annoyance to see children struggling in front of me while the TWO lifeguards went about their own business, which obviously could have been saved for a lunch break. The other lifeguards were working hard and paying close attention to the children, I would just suggest that if you bring kids, make sure you keep a close eye yourself. The maid service went above and beyond and were quite timely. Overall it was a good experience and I hope to return someday. PS- the "regular" room bathroom was bigger than mine at home, it was a very nice room.

“Exceeded my expectations”

I was thouroughly impressed with the Grand Rios. Check in went extremely smoth (and we were early!!). The room was extremely clean and smelled great. And the bed...WOW. My husband and I both had a great sleep on the King Size bed. I will definitely stay at this hotel again.

“lovely hotel”

Front desk staff always friendly, courteous helped with directions etc. Didn't realize when we checked in that we could have purchased water park armbands that would have been good the whole stay, we thought it was day by day (we had booked a room without the included arm bands). Arm bands weren't offered or explained. Housekeeping staff were pleasant but second day, our room wasn't cleaned, nor were new towels offered. Otherwise good.

“Good Family Hotel”

It is a great place for families as there are a number of ammenities for children, including pools and game rooms. There is a great breakfast buffet and the rooms are neat and clean.

“Amazing Stay”

Staying in this hotel really made my travel experience that much enjoyable. Once of the nicest hotels I have stayed in. Its very clean, the staff is very accommodating and the rooms are very well kept. This is one great hotel!

“Great Hotel if travelling with kids”

Lots to do without leaving the hotel...perfect for young kids

“We had a blast!”

WE have three kids;11,8,6, and they had a blast. The water park was not crowded, infact the kids could just walk onto any slide. We were there on a Monday - Wednesday trip. The room was big, beds comfortable, and it was quiet. The room was a little musty when we first got there, but he air conditioning took care of that. In all, we had a great time and will stop there again!
