No title - expert review Home to the largest water park in America, the family friendly Grand Lodge Hotel and Water Park is just one half mile from the Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport in Bloomington, Minn. The Mall of America and IKEA are also adjacent to the hotel. Visitors are nine miles from downtown Minneapol... sidestep.com

Great place to stay, with or without kids... - user review Great new hotel, we have used the waterpark once, my kids loved it. The rooms are spacious, and the novelty is the bunk beds hidden by a curtain. These, plus a king bed and sofa sleeper can sleep 2 adults plus 4 kids a rare find these days...Very close to the Minneapolis airport and the Mall of Amer... expedia.com
Going back next Thanksgiving - user review Hotel was great. Customer service was the greatest factor of the hotel. The front desk was very helpful. When we got to the hotel we realize that we forgot our credit card for the deposit on the room. So they went out of their way and fax a form back to Maine to get the information they needed for t... expedia.com
not equipped to handle the volume. - user review I dont think they envisioned so much success! The check in process was about a 20 minute wait in line. The elevators were extremly slow because of so many people utilizing them to get to the pool, and they are surprisingly small. lots of people had... expedia.com
Ok for families - user review I was there for a business trip, b/c it was inexpensive. I forgot my contact lens solution and they had no store within the building to help me, which I found very surprising. The coffee shop only had donuts and greasy looking muffins...terrible selection and it was overpriced. Room service brought ... expedia.com

It was very hard to park and unpack; need more suit case carrers or some bell boys food great. - user review I would also suggest the water park opening at 8:00 and less overlap between guest leaving and new guests arriving. I think this created difficulty in checking in. I would also suggest staggered check in (some at 2:00, some a... expedia.com
better get the passes ahead of time - user review My family decided not to go to the waterpark, until we got there. Unfortunately you must then pay the walk in price, which is pretty expensive for what they have. Do yourself a favor and buy the passes w... expedia.com

good for families - user review newer hotel with waterpark. Did not use the waterpark but it looked large. Room was large and comfortable. We used it as a overnight stay for early airport run. Aside from having to ask manager to have the resturant staff provide service at 5 Minutes to their closing time we enjoyed the hotel. The b... expedia.com
Too much fun! - user review Other than the fact that the waterpark staff needs to add some experienced healthcare staff, we had a fabulous time. Go and check out IKEA and the Mall of America. Traveler's tip on local attractio... expedia.com
Family Getaway - user review Our family of 7 (kids ages 15,13,10,2&5mo)stayed at the Grand Lodge on a Friday evening. Check in went very smoothly and the kids were in the waterpark shortly thereafter. There was ample parking available and the location is very convenient for access to the airport, Mall of America, and downtown S... expedia.com
Very Children Friendly - user review The bunkbeds in the room really make the night enjoyable for the kids as well as the adults. The waterpark also has attractions for the very young as well as those that like a litt... expedia.com
Poor layout - user review The good service and appearance of this hotel could not overcome the absolutely poor layout and accessibility of this place. One can take into account large crowds for a water park hotel on a cold February day, but this was absolutely frustrating. first, only four centrally located elevators for eig... expedia.com
Awesome - user review The hotel was so nice and the bed was so comfortable. The rooms were so large. It was so convienient to go to the water park.

Great family getaway - user review The room was very nice, my husband even thought the bed was comfortable which is a large compliment. The kids really liked that they had their own bunk bed to sleep on. We spent most of our time in the water park. It is huge and the lines were not at all bad. There is something for everyone in the w... expedia.com
Not what I expected - user review The waterpark is great for small children but my two 13 year olds were bored after one hour. The room was a nice size but the sheets on the bunk beds were dirty and the bedspread on the king bed had a huge stain on it. Our room was never really cleaned every day, just new towels left. The parking si... expedia.com
Great waterpark hotel - user review The waterpark was great even for teenagers. The hotel was above average but not exactly upscale. There was a stain on the bedspread when we got there. They questioned it (like it was our fault ) but changed it anyway. The HD tv, microwave and fridge were nice. Traveler's tip on local attractions.Thi... expedia.com
A beautiful hotel. - user review This was a beautiful hotel with wonderful amenities. There are a few service bugs that need to be worked out. Most noticeably, the free shuttle service to and from the Mall of America and the airport. There was one evening when we waited for the shuttle for 45 minutes at 10pm. The hotel promises pic... expedia.com

Great for kids. - user review Very nice hotel with lovely rooms. The waterpark is loads of fun for all ages. The cafe/coffee shop is understaffed and only has one register.

Great Family Getaway Location - user review We had a great time at this hotel. It seemed to have a little bit of everything we needed. The room was smaller than we expected, but it was very nice and the perfect size for the 6 of us.

Would highly recommend this property! - user review We just got back from a night here and it was awesome.
