Top Excelsior Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Mall of America

8/10 Good

"We were not offered out Hotels.com reward amenities when we arrived. The pool and spa were under construction, but we were notified before we arrived. Great location for visiting Mall of America."

Mystic Lake Casino Hotel

8/10 Good

"Horrible check in experience. Loooooong and slow, understaffed queues. Otherwise decent. "

The Royal Sonesta Minneapolis Downtown

8/10 Good

"Our room was comfortable, clean and quiet. However, we had an interior facing room which wasn’t really clear upon booking. Spending a night in a downtown area usually includes enjoying the city lights at night and no window facing outside was disappointing. We did get a free upgrade at check in but I probably wouldn’t have accepted it had I known we would be starting at a void of interior space, doesn’t seem like a true upgrade."
