Hyatt Regency Bloomington - Minneapolis
Very nice hotel. Clean and in a very good area. The rooms I would say were on the smaller side but nice decor. The sheets on the bed are rather thin so if you get cold you will have to turn the heat up. I would stay here again.. the bar and the food were good.... Not sure why we would have to pay ...
